I didn't bother posting this yesterday/the day before whenever someone mentioned Le vs Macklin or Barker but since the issue of European elligibility has been thrown up, Andy won't be able to fight for the title after he takes on Troy Lowry. At this stage I think it's almost naieve to think Andy will be fighting at home anytime soon.

As for the Cubans(they'll need Irish citizenship):
Naturalisation (general)
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]If you are applying for naturalisation based on your own residence in the State, the conditions for naturalisation are as follows:

[/FONT][/FONT]• You must be of good character.
• [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]You must have had a period of one (1) year’s continuous reckonable residence in the State immediately before the date of the application and, during the eight (8) years preceding that, have had a total reckonable residence in the State amounting to four (4) years (to find out what "reckonable residence" is, see the section below on Calculation of periods of residence).
[/FONT][/FONT]• [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]You must intend in good faith to continue to reside in the State after naturalisation.

The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has power (in his or her absolute discretion) to waive one or more of the above conditions for naturalisation in certain circumstances as follows:

[/FONT][/FONT]Naturalisation of spouses of Irish citizens

So Perez needs to be living in the country another 16 months before he can put an application in, and Acosta and Gracia another 24 months. I dunno how long it would take a succesful application to come about then, but if they're still living and fighting in Ireland during that time period they'll be able to fight for the European title.

 

I'd say their still a good bit behind the Europeans! Every fights a tough fight in the Europeans. I have heard them being described as being tougher than the worlds for that reason

 

I reckon all but maybe 1 or 2 have good chances of medals. Just depends on the draw. Paddys favourite for gold but I remember him telling me the Indian is good but Paddy at his best can beat anyone in the world now that shimming is up to flyweight
