Irish Boxing

And until that situation improves we can expect a full continuation of...

For fuuuuccck sake Stapleton

 

anybody see frampton's last fight on ringside last night? Looked very impressive again, love to see him in with someone like jamie arthur next.

Another thing anybody know about irish boxer Seanie Monaghan, http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=536005&cat=boxer, he's fighting on the same bill as lee this saturday.

 

I think someone was talking about this guy on here recently, from memory I think someone said he was intermediate a few years ago and is from Newbridge or somewhere in Kildare..???

Hope I'm not confusing him with someone else...

 

it was great to see carl, Collins and McCloskey on the show- I wonder seen as Dolphil are paying for production of the Casey show have they the rights too give to other stations. They could give highlights to Ringside???

Magee will be on it after march 19 too.

 

Question to Tommy - Have you started going 3 minute rounds on the pads yet!
Nasty nasty nasty. Also - wait for the burn outs.....horrible

 

Great news about the Casey fight being televised.

Well done to all the lads who were nagging RTE, politicians etc... :good

 

Brian Magee special tomorrow in the Sun plus details of a frankly ridiculous charity bet we've hooked up with Boylesports.:good

RTÉ to screen Willie Casey title fight

Friday, 11 March 2011 16:06
RTÉ Sport has confirmed that it will screen live coverage of Willie 'Big Bang' Casey's WBA World title fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux on Saturday, 19 March.
The bout will be broadcast across RTÉ Two Television, RTÉ Radio and worldwide on RTÉ.ie.
The fight will feature as part of a bumper day of sport broadcast on RTÉ for Irish sports fans with almost 11 hours of coverage across boxing, rugby and soccer.


Ryle Nugent, Group Head RTÉ Sport, said: 'We are delighted to now be in a position to bring the Irish public live coverage of Willie Casey's WBA World title fight.
'This has been made possible by Dolphil Promotions having secured independent finance to cover the associated television production costs.
'It builds on our strong support of Willie's boxing talent which includes our broadcast of his European Super Bantamweight title win last November.
'Added to the coverage of the RBS 6 Nations, including Ireland v England from the Aviva Stadium, and Premier League action on the day, it makes for a compelling free-to-air offering for Irish sports fans.'

Daniel Halpin, Marketing Executive of Dolphil Promotions, said:
'We are delighted that an agreement has been met and the Irish public will be able to watch this historic occasion in the comfort of their homes.
'One of the greatest amateur fighters of all time, Guillermo Rigondeaux, takes on our very own Cinderella man, Willie Casey, and we are very proud that a television deal with RTÉ has come to fruition.'

The action-packed day of top class sport begins with the final day of the RBS 6 Nations featuring a triple header of games including Ireland v England.
The live rugby is followed by live coverage of the Limerick boxer's challenge for World title glory and the day is rounded off on RTÉ Television with the latest top-flight Premier League action immediately afterwards in Premier Soccer Saturday.

On RTÉ Television presenter Darragh Maloney will be joined in studio by a panel for expert analysis of all the action on Pro Box Live at 10.00pm on RTÉ Two and RTÉ.ie.
Radio coverage will also begin at 10.00pm on RTÉ Radio 1 FM, LW, DAB and online.
