    If this is the girl I'm thinking of then I saw her sparring in Monkstown club about 3 years ago. She was impressive, really compact style.

    from here down is an absolute disgrace got to be honest sometimes the travelling lads supporters can be very intimidating but its usually not the young lads immediate family just clowns that are 3rd cousins tagging along.What happened with the young girl?
    As to the other thing if you saw this you MUST write a letter to the IABA ken is a nice lad a very intelligent lad and nobody should be discriminated against because of something as stupid as skin colour,If this person is really a golden cobra coach they need to know what sort of scum is training the young lads.This is horrible and as i said you must report this.

    Myers mother and two sisters(guess) were sitting front row and McCombs family were sitting directly behind, after he won they took there celebrations a bit far and one of McCombs supporters was screaming behind the young girl, she turned around and asked her to stop screaming in her ear. there was a few verbals between the girls then this bloke gets involved almost going head to head with the young girl, the McComb girl tried to grab the other girl and Myers sister stood up and gave her a jab in the face her other sister then restrained her as 3 of McCombs family went for her including one large poroxide loudmouth who was in her 30's and said she would get her outside, Myers sister im guessing is around 12/13. As for the racist incident with the Golden Cobra coach it really annoyed me, he did it so openly that i was in denial but my mate saw it too, then when i walked by him when i was leaving his conversation confirmed his actions. Ive seen this coach at a few events and he'd give you an hello or a nod of the head i thought he seemed a decent bloke. I do intend on writing a letter about what i saw.

    sad to hear the negativity about the u-21's. I am not going to lie I have zero tolerance on this kinds of bs. ZERO. Call me a hard liner but my old man came from nothing, NOTHING but poverty. Poverty that most people in this country don't have clue about. But he always behaved like a gent and it sickens me when people try to make excuses for idiots behaving like thugs. Thugs, cowards etc whatever way they want to be need to be taught a lesson.

    Dont mean to be painting a negative picture about the U21s I actually thought it was a great night and brought my mate along who had never gone to any amateur fights and he loved it and wants to buy a season ticket in the next few weeks.

    That little girl sounds like a bit of a legend. Fair play to her!

    What disgusts me the most is the story about the Golden Cobra coach! You're dead right to send a letter to the iaba!! I mean what would happen if a young black lad went to join their club? I have no doubt that the other coaches in that club are very decent, but that ***** needs to be sorted out. If he had a black boxer in his club I wonder would he give him second class treatment...

    Looking at the Joyce-Frampton fight it's unreal to think how much Carl has changed since then. He has put on so much muscle since, which is remarkable when you think that he's roughly the same weight now! I know now it's well publicised about his diet and all that, but he seemed to have absolutely no fat on him in the fight against Joyce. I know there's always a logical explanation about body fat and all that, but I still don't know how a fella can become so ripped and stay the same weight like Carl did. Cracking fight btw. Really enjoyed it at the time and was excited about Carl's prospects for London 2012:D
