Good for lyndsay Hope he does well,a good fighter and a nice guy. If he keeps improving he will be one of our real prospects.
Yeah I agree Puca, Lindsay has a lot of ability, everything has been, so far, so good. Are you going to bueatiful Belfast[sorry Ardy, couldn't resist that] next week Goldenboy, to watch the Hylands?
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=15793&more=1 The minute I read this it brought back stories my old man told of Ali Fighting in Croke Park
brought shivvers up the back of my neck! I remember hatton talking about fighting in croker but i didnt it would be against pretty boy
It would be an terrific night for our sport. Paddy, Ali could only half fill Croke Park, the promoters took a hammering that night. Although I'm sure Hatton/Mayweather would sell-out any venue on these Islands.
its a pity that hatton isnt irish...all them english larger louts...booing the american national anthem... could b hard to stick..:rofl :rofl :rofl
Yeah was a bit of a shame alright the old man said there was about 25000-30000 people there for it. I took the the tour of croker in september im a divil ive been there countless times but never took the tour. The tour guide was telling me that they call the tunnel between the canal and the cusack stand the "Muhammad Ali" Tunnel. Did you see the fight yourself Ardy or was it before your time?
Just a bit before my time, I was only a bab in arms then. In actual fact, my first memory of a fight was ALI/Forman.The older brothers were so enthused about the bout, their excitment rubbed off on me.
Yeah i know what you mean I was 5 years old when Michael Carruth and Wayne McCullough took home the medals thats my first memories of watching boxing. I have no doubt our boys heading over to china will do us proud!
well as were swapping stories about first experiences of boxing...mine was collins v Eubank....christ..that was some night...the celtic warrior did us proud that night
