Irish Boxing

A bit shocked Paddy Barnes got beat today. When is the next Olympic Quailifers tournament on? Still think Paddy will make it to the Olympics. As for Ray Moylette maybe another boxoff with Ross Hickey for a chance to fight in the final Olympic qualifer?

 

there is a little thing called the national championships that will settle that leighton

I got a tweet from Barnes media peopple giving out about the fact there was a Chinese judge on the judging panel??? did anyone see the fight

 

So I take it the last Olympic quailifers wont be on this year it will be next year instead.

A quote from Paddy Barnes on rte this morning.
"
Belfast man Barnes told RTÉ Sport that he was bitterly disappointed, that he boxed very poorly, and that the signs of his long lay-off were apparent. Although he emphasised he wasn't using that as an excuse.

Barnes added that Barriga was a good boxer, but he was essentially bitterly disappointed with his own performance. "

 

DOJ 5-5 fIRST RND

 

fair play to Barnes- honest and not looking for excuses.

16-10 to Joyce second round.

 

Well DOJ 26-13

 

watched it, DOJ landed some hurtful bodyshots. Would to see him turn pro after the olympics.

 

Yeah, he always has looked pro material, needs a number of rounds for the bodyshots to come into play at times. He did well in the WSB also.

 

Paddys always brutally honest and to be fair he is 100% correct, in effect He has only had the national final against the relative novice Metcalfe this whole year.
Barnes will be back and I for one feel certain that he'll make the Olynpic games. Good luck and head up Paddy, you have always done us proud.

He certainly looked good against Valentino.

 

Andy lee has Martinez game plan but doesn't think he will get the chance to implement it soon

It's BN up about 6 months now. I think the rankings were done by Cormac.

The champion is ranked #1 and then it's regular ranking. One gripe is that he never added COB!!
