    yeah a few minutes walk away but SlapperFace Jacks is about 1000 times the meatmarket that Whelans is.

    It's a 'phew' moment - McMahon got him out of there before he could return - i swear he was gonna get up there butt naked for the fourth!

    Yeah Tolan's KO of McDonagh was one of the year's most grisly stoppages alright. That and Declan Trainor's bloodbath in Australia.

    i never would have copped the tension either. it must have been a case that they were mutually reliant on each other and had the cop on not to make the spat public.

    Good idea


    STAND-OUT PERFORMANCES FROM AN IRISH BOXER

    1 Brian Magee travelling to Denmark, and winning the European title against all the odds

    2 Willie Casey winning Prizefighter

    3 Carl Frampton showing absolute class in defeating Gavin Rees [a star was born that night]

    BEST AMATEURS OF 2010

    1 Kathy Taylor

    2 Paddy Barnes


    BEST PROSPECTS IN 2010

    1 Carl Frampton

    2 Jamie Kavanagh

    3 Jamie Conlon

    4 Stephen Ormond


    BIGGEST DISAPOINTMENTS OF 2010

    1 Martin Lindsay's defeat by John Simpson

    2 John Duddy's defeat by Julio Ceaser Chavez jr

    3 Paul McCloskey's apparent stagnation

    4 Andy Lee's inability to land a breakthrough fight.


    BOXERS TO HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH YEAR IN 2011

    1 Carl Frampton to win a major title, such as European, British or Commonwealth title

    2 Patrick Hyland to box for European title

    3 Andy Murray to box for European title

    Not only is it the end of the year but also the end of the 1st decade of the 21st century! Highlights of the decade have to be dunne beating cordoba in a packed o2 and the lads producing the goods in Beijing and bringing back 3 medals
