    Dont see the relevance of the sarcasm. I dont even want McBride to win. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Why, do you think any of them will win?

    McBride gets battered.

    Magee gets handled easily I think. He's not a worthy opponent either I dont think. He isnt even in his prime anymore.

    Casey I think could trouble Rigo for a few rounds but ultimitely come up short. Late stoppage or wide UD.

    I dont think McCloskey has a hope. Arguably Ireland's best fighter at the moment, but Khan is all wrong for him.

    And I think Lee and Macklin will both win in pretty unimpressive fashion.

    McBride - absolutley destroyed.
    Magee - brave display but outclassed and stopped in 8 or 9
    Casey - harder to call, he could be completely dominated and stopped around 5 or 6. the only way i can see him winning is if rigo gets spooked, stupid and sloppy and even at that willie will have to be on top form to win and will need a KO.
    McCloskey - looses by unanimous decision, impressive at times but a comprehensive defeat.
    Lee - win, not sure how.
    Macklin - if he fights like his last fight i see him loosing but i hope he's sufficiently prepared and focused

    ''Pretty Boy'' vs ''Gael Force''

    Going by nicknames, Oisin wins.

    In all seriousness, I would like to see McBride retire. I fear for his well being, as he is fast becoming a danger to himself. Hopefully he calls it a day after Adamek.

    Worked it out from those odds, we have a 39.8% chance of one of the fighters winning a title.

    Regarding the 3 lads fighting for a World title it will be hard for either to win 1 but I got a feeling 1 of the 3 will be a world champion after the fights. Rigo has great boxing skills no doubt about it. Saying that I wouldnt put it by Willie to take the title away from him fightiing at home as well. Willies power will be vital in the fight. Rigo struggled against Cordobas power and I expect the same.
    As for Magee no chance him beating Bute he will be doing well to hear the final bell I would love him to do it but he needs to produce the preformace when he won the European title and hope that Bute has a off day.
    As for McCloskey looking forward to this fight. Paul will need a KO in the fight to win if it goes to the cards Khan will get it no matter what. Its doable for Paulie but is a hard fight. It would be a great win for Paulie if he does it and the whole of the world will be looking at the fight and he could well be looking at the big fights after that.

    I think we will have Andy Murray as a European champion by the end of the year as well if they can organise a fight and if John Murray drops the belt. Also maybe Pajo Hyland but like Murray it may well be a bit harder now with RTE dropping out.Finally Frampton to be British and Commonwealth champion by the end of the year as well.

    While you are doing your report you should perhaps think about doing Boxing ireland rough guide to manchester, just to keep some of the lads off here on the straight and narrow when they get to manc land :deal

    Where to stay?
    Is the airport near to hotel?
    Is Hotel near to MEN? Walking distance
    When we buy tickets of www.paulmccloskey.com, does that mean there will be an Irish section at the MEN?
