Irish Boxing

Again need a bit of help from the nordies...Whats the story going out in belfast dresscode wise,will runners and jeans do or are we looks at shoes and trousers.or just somewhere in between.

 

Todays Irish News mentions it possibly being staged in Canada?

 

nevin just lost to yafai

 

\damn!damn! Score?

 

7-1 , he looked a bit too cocky almost at the start and kept gettin caught with silly shots , yafai was picking his shot well and had a tight guard , think nevin boxes much better on the backfoot as opposed to coming forward which he was doing in this fight

 

donovan through aswel he won 10-4 and beat a former world bronze medalist and olympian

 

any news on the McCloskey presser lads???

Also i was talking to Willie Casey today (have to say anytime you talk to that lad you feel better he is a sound bloke) and he was saying that he is finding it hard to book a venue for a big home coming in Limerick. He is finding hard because of his 'name, culutural backround and the place were he is from'.

I think that is a disgrace. really a disgrace. We could look back at this similar to the way the yanks have to look back at how they threated Ali after he won the Olmypics! I know prizefighter and the Olympics are not the same but threating a lovely bloke who done his country proud like that is a disgrace!

 

Just back from the presser. McCloskey looks pumped up for Friday night.

The other three fights have now got confirmed opponents:

Jamie Conlan v Delroy Spencer 4 rounder
Gavin Rees v Sam amoako 6 rounder
Andy Murray v Jon Baguley 6 rounder

The weigh in is at the Park Plaza Hotel at Belfast International Airport at 3pm tomorrow.

Jon Baguley is a decent opponent for Murray, He recently stopped Vinny Mitchel in 4 rounds and gave Kevin O'Hara a real tough night

 

Brilliant stuff by Donovan, first senior international medal I think. Good old Georgian TV. Five European medals is some achievement. (Still thought Nevin looked a class act too, even in defeat.)

PS Unbelievable that re Willie Casey, hopefully the local media will get on to it and sort it out.

PPS Just spotted Sport at 7 radio special on rte.ie with Jimmy Magee and Barry McGuigan, 25 years after his world title. Should be better than that crap last night.

 

I agree. Plus Rees has a good fight on his hands against Amoaka - who gave McAllister a good fight for the Commonwealth Title.

Excellent card on Friday night:good

 

That's a disgrace. I am really disgusted to hear that. Casey comes across as a real down-to-earth lad - I hope his manager or some in the trade can help him out with that.

 

Well lads. More fresh stuff up on Irish-boxing than you could shake a stick at. Steve's interview with Frampton and McGuigan. I was chatting to Pat Magee and a few pressers as well. Where is my shaking stick?

 

i think it will be an easy nights work for murray. baguley is a naturaal super-feather and murray is a big enough lightweight. i will take murray in 4:good
