Irish Boxing

It's likely that I will be doing an afterparty over there. Just finalising a venue at the moment - not been easy asking people to hand over their premises on their busiest day of the year!

If it gets sorted I'll be over on the Tuesday and back on the Monday. £350 from Manchester - indirect via AmDam

 

Good interview with Shane McGuigan coming up tomorrow.

 

In the Carl Frampton - Scott Quigg power balance, has the momentum swung in Frampton's favour now?

Have you looked into hotels yet?

 

is there a media hotel????

 

You should read what he's referring to and then you'll laugh.

 

Is that Moses Matovu? I'm sure I saw him a few years back at a Hyland show in Dublin, fighting Jon O'Brien. He had John Breen in the corner that night and he was dangerous early in the fight.

 

Macklin-Martinez: Matthew will be knocked out if he tries to throw a lot of punches in this fight

By Scott Gilfoid: Middleweight contender Matthew “Mack The Knife” Macklin (28-3, 19 KO’s) has a style of fighting where he loads up with everything and throws a lot of punches to try and take out his usually overmatched opposition.

Sometimes it works and he’s able to score a knockout; other times he fails and loses the fight when he runs out of gas like he did against WBA World middleweight champion Felix Sturm in Macklin’s 12 round split decision loss last June. Macklin’s high punch output helps him against most opposition he faces, but on March 17th he’ll be fighting WBC Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (48-2-2, 27 KO’s), who punches very hard and is capable of knocking Macklin, #3 WBC, #5 WBA, #6 WBO, out with a single left hand to the head if Macklin is stupid enough to try and stand in front of Martinez to throw a lot of punches.
Martinez does really well against guys like Macklin and he’ll produce an early knockout in this fight unless Macklin figures out a different way to fight by running all night long. He probably won’t. Macklin will be too cocky for his own good and will want to go out there thinking he can unload on Martinez.
What will happen then is Macklin will walk into a big left hand from Martinez and get stretched. Mack The Knife is going to find himself out cold and when he comes to he’s going to be wondering what hit him. This isn’t going to be a tough fight or anything resembling a fight. It’s going to be a case of a naïve fighter foolishly walking into some huge shots from Martinez, which will render him unconscious.

 

Did anyone else think Sheahan beat John Joe Joyce last night? The judges had it comfortably for joyce, maybe it was just the crappy stream i was watching.

 

I was there and after first and second round there was a disapointing gasp when the scores came up! i thought Sheahan won first two rounds. was a cracking fight all the same. what i have seen of the seniors this year they have been class.

tims will get destroyed by ross, he shouldnt take it.

 

Thats him, right character in the ring and tough as Oisin ***an in a fitted leather suit and left in a clay kiln at 350c for 24 hours.

 

I agree but like you my stream was very bad but stream or no, JJJ hardly threw as many punches as he got scores in the second.
