It would be nice to see the other Garcia and acosta in prizefighter when it's at there weight . Did I read somewhere that junior witter signed up for the light welter prizefighter?
Jesus, you'd think they would let people know about the press conference! I am dissapointed about the date of the show as well to be honest. Matchroom have a big show on SKY, Macklin will probably be on Premier, Hylands in Dublin and Haughian in Armagh! Thats a lot of boxing for one night. Not sure if promoters give a toss and just think that the people that would go would go anyway but I am sure they must lose a little bit of sales anyway - and media attention, even if its just from websites. This weekend would have been a much better weekend for a show in my opinion as there is nowt from the UK this Saturday evening. Thats a good fight for Jamie, I'd say if he does well them Maloney will give him some sort of British title eliminator.
yeah having two shows and Macklin on the same night isn't a great idea- its robbing yourself of press! paper wise im sure macklin will get a page lead on Monday and the other shows will be lucky to get a column- but we can't complain the more shows the better-
I would love to see Jamie and Luke Wilton get it on for the Irish title. It's going to be one busy night. I will be Sky + from the living room and the sitting room for The Sky and Setanta boxing, and be watching boxing in Craigavon. It's handy when you have multi-room Sky:yep The Irish News and Belfast Telegraph will cover the Craigavon boxing extensively.:deal
Am i the only one that thinks Geales win the weekend is NOT a good thing for Macklin. There is no way the germans are going to let two of their middleweight titles leave the fatherland in one month, I can definetly see the Belgian judge being invited back and asked to bring two of his brothers.:yep:yep
we dont need to claim him hes been dancing around the ring with a tricolour and has it as his shorts it think its a case of him claiming us
Poland beat Ireland in a friendly over the weekend- results are on IABA website. was only one bout in it.
Any link to fight? From the gaunt photos of the weight-in will he be able to make bantamweight for the olympics???
Guys if you want tickets and/or tickets and a hotel package for the Matthew Macklin v Felix Sturm fight give me a shout as soon as possible. Tring to sort out a block just for Macklin fans.
