    Olusegun will beat Chebah in the title eliminator and McCloskey will end up having a rematch with Lauri probably in Spring. Hes got to get out of that rematch, doesn't have time to waste :verysad

    It's getting hard to keep up with all the lads we have knocking about now are doing these days. Good news about Byrne though

    Watch Jack Dempsey, Mick Ward, Gerry Cooney, James J Braddock, and Gene Tunney for Irish styles. A lot of great boxers were Irish

    The only good Scottish boxer I know was Ken Buchanan who fought Roberto Duran.

    Well none of the guys you listed were actually from Ireland!

    As for Scotland, I think you will find it has a very rich tradition. You must have forgot Benny Lynch, Pat Clinton, Jim Watt, Scott Harrison - not to mention current WBO champion Ricky Burns.

    Actually what ever happend to the 2 movies that were going to be made about Lynch a few years back. I remember reading about the family trying to block them both but they never gave a reason why. I think they were successful in the end. Although, I think the one with Robert Carlyle was actually made

    I presume this fella has a job because his training and diet aren't exactly condusive to becoming a good boxer! I'd say Carlos might have an idea who he is being from up that neck of the woods.
