    2000 - there were queues in Limerick from 5.30 am - then again it's the first professional show in Limerick ever and Lee is just a bit special. Let's hope that they get a decent opponent for him.

    Hello Mike, O'Neill put up a good showing, but Sutherland was just that bit too strong for him. O'Neill is only 22, so he has time on his side.

    Con Sheahan is an 18 year old. He's big and strong, and looks a great prospect for the future. I take it your in America Mike, but apparently you can watch RTE sporting events on line.

    He had to pull out(presumely due to injury) at the semi-final stage I believe .

    Darren O'Neil is 23 I think , lovely boxer but with having a full-time job(school teacher) I can't ever see him developing enough to be a real threat at the very top of the amateurs .

    I agree Goldenboy, Dunne needs a warm-up fight, and then back in for a rematch against Martinez. Dunne was on RTE on Friday night, and he said he was back in training and hopeing for a big year. So, maybe he will be fighting soon.

    Very interested ML, thank you. Do you think Klitscho will win against Ibragimov next month.Wladamir has the all round talent, but you never know with him, because his poor punch resistance.

    I think Wlad wins, but I am just interested in a good fight that goes atleast past the fourth round. I havn't scene Sultan fight that much so I really don't know what to expect.

    IMO Ilbragimov is very ordinary, I have seen him a few times and wasn't overly impressed. During an interview Sultan's management compared him to a young Mike Tyson LOL.

    anyone see Duddy's interview on "Turbidy TOnight" on RTE - he came across very well - a lot of other boxers could take note
