Paddy Barnes refutes 'boring boxing' comment

I can't recall the last time I saw an amateur boxer in Ireland actually go to the trouble of putting out a press release for anything.:think

 

Either can i cause i didnt put any press release out

 

A certain talent agency has in your name so!

It's a funny one, I agree with the defensive style of am. boxing being a little bit boring, where points can be scored and then defended to the hilt behind a tight guard. This limits the entertainment factor and rewards caution (naturally it also rewards the ability to score, and to defend)

But would it to be wrong to suggest that a more tactical approach, along those lines, was the very thing that saw Paddy win a gold at the Euros? So if the 'boring' style brings success, there's a bit of a catch.

 

Paddy, settle down, relax and dont about what people are saying - concentrate on the boxing.

 

**** style, keep bringing those medals home.

 

O'kane won too!

What are your picks for the semi-final and who do you fancy to win this?:think

PRIZEFIGHTER HEAVYWEIGHTS IV DRAW

Matt Skelton (17st 11lb) v Ali Adams (16st 10lb)
Kevin McBride (20st 7lb) v Franklin Egobi (18st 5lb)
Declan Timlin (15st 13lb) v Shane McPhilbin (15st 10lb)
Michael Sprott (17st 4lb) v Danny Hughes (19st 8lb)

 

skelton v mcbride
mcphilbin v sprott

skelton v sprott

winner sprott:bbb

 

I went for Timlin to win it outright. I honestly think he has a chance. A light weight he will be able to work for all of the 9 rounds if need be. While the heavier of the lads will find it hard to be all action which is what this will be all about. I know 1 punch will win it in some of the fights.

 

Nadjib Mohammedi W Djamel SeliniTKO3

 

Watching Tyrone McCullagh would give you a heart attack.
The boy has been my highlight of an otherwise quite average tournament which has been riddled with appalling scoring. I find myself supporting whoever India are boxing. I've heard of "anyone but England" but now its "anyone but India" :deal

 

ward ***** slapped an aussie as well:yep.... mcarthy is up soon:good
