Irish Boxing

Hey thats a pretty accurate list pal, I maybe would not have Moore so high after his defeat, but thats only my dumb ass opinion.

 

I'd go with:
1.John Duddy
2.Matthew Macklin
3.Paul McCloskey
4.Bernard Dunne
5.Andy Lee
6.Brian Magee
7.Martin Lindsay
8.James Moore
9.Andrew Murray
10.Stephen Haughian
11.Neil Sinclair
12.Oisín ***an
13.Jim Rock
14.Jason McKay
15.Patrick Hyland
16.Eddie Hyland
17.Henry Coyle
18.Paul Hyland
19.Michael Gomez
20.Martin Rogan

But lists are subjective, however having Sinclair above Magee is just something I can't really fathom . The rest I've no problem with .

 

I had thought about it nutter but although he lost I dont think anyone below him has done anything to overtake him. Sinclair lost, Magee is treading water with 4 and 6 round fights and Haughian has already jumped a few places.

He's safe where he is until at least the next round of Irish cards are completed next month

 

interesting that we have used 19 of the 20 same fighters - McBride out and Eddie Hyland in.

I know you rate Magee and we've talked about this before but I was never sold on him.

interesting to see your opinion of the "feathers/superfeathers" Lindsay, Hyland and Gomez

 

If big Rogie can chin Harrison, he has to gatecrash the top 5. Wouldnt you agree???

 

no, but it would lift him at least 8 places I reckon

 

Your a hard man to please slap....,, but the idea of this list is excellent:good

 

My top 10

1.Duddy
2.McCloskey
3.Lee
4.Macklin
5.Dunne
6.Lindsay
7.Magee
8.Moore
9.***an
10.Murray

 

OK lets do a diffrent list and rate the shows coming up in july.
IMO 1 Limerick 19th. Lee and mc closkey maybe our two most naturally talented boxers face stiff tests (gibbs and Wright)Haughiens opponent is no push over either.Json Mc Kay ,John o Donnell and the big hitting local boy Jamie Power.You know it makes sense.
2. Tallaght on the 5th.Jamie Moore and Healy will not be the walkover people think.Paul Hyland is the most talented of the brothers and will be tested against Callaghan.Kiko is always exciting and Pat hyland and O Sullivan are creating a stir and the likeable Walsh and O Brien will always entertain.
3 The stadium on the 12th.The only real undecided contest is The pink panther and Finnegan.Dunne will be fed another old man who cant punch,Andy Murray will destroy Mc Donagh.***an is against a novice(4 contests)Timms has disapointed in his first two and Corbett may or may not fight.Cresham is a novice but i saw him in Castlebar and he really can bang.
Read through the list and points i've given and tell me guys are we starting to get spoilt.....HA HA

 

For the record
1 Duddy
2 Lee
3 Macklin
4 Mc Closkey
5 Dunne
6 Murray
7 Moore
8 Hyland (paul)
9 Haughien
10 Hyland (patrick)

 

Sorry Guys forgot about Lyndsey he would go in at number 8 and the rest would move down one.

 

good ratings sligobhoy

 

This guy seems like a great character.Comes to the ring wearing a full gladiator mask,trash talks like only the americans can and can fight a bit.Should be a good one.

 

Does anybody know anything about John O Donnell? Hes fighting in the york hall on friday and in Limerick in July. With a name like that he has to have Irish blood in him. At only 22 seems like a good prospect.
