Any news on who else will be on this bill? DiBella promised a card stacked with Irish boxers after all.
I've a feeling that DiBella and Matchroom couldnt come to an agreement on the purses/opponents so no Frampton/O'Kane/McCloskey - all thats guesswork though. There was talk of Andy Murray and Patrick Hyland as well but that doesnt look like its materialising. Andy Lee is off the bill looks like he will be out in Detroit instead. So we are left with the New York-Irish guys such as Danny O'Connor, Kevin Rooney and Seanie Monaghan v Paddy McDonagh. I had hoped for more but wont get too annoyed considering the headliner.
Anyone got a top 3 wish list of amateurs you'd like to see turn pro now they are out of Olympic contention? Mine might be DOJ, Sutcliffe, McLaughlin...

Well the tickets are bought so I will be there anyway but its a bit disappointing after all the big talk at the presser.

DOJ, Gallagher and Mcloughlin . Think Paddy Barnes would make a brilliant little pro them body shots he throws look hurtfull but I dont think he has any intention of turning over .
Proska defending his euro crown St Patricks night on the same card as the jackal,I know Andy Lee cant fight for it because of some EBU rules but surely one of our other lads namely Spike or Fitz could be in with a shot at securing this title fight if they went for it.
Good calls so far lads. Turner could be a dangerous puncher if he turned that belly into something a bit firmer. Wasn't overly troubled by Con's body shots all the same and obviously loves a scrap :roll:
Mclaughlin, moylette and steven ward .after the Olympics i would like to see b..arnes, conlan and o'neill
