I think he's around 21/22. So many fellas turning over at a young age nowadays. All going well, they should have very long pro careers

 

I don't think that's the case as much anymore Ardy. Aside from the 3 you've mentioned, there's a lot to be said for all of the Irish elite champions as to how they would do in the pro game. With the exception of maybe Mcdonagh and Nolan I reckon they could all do well as pros (that's no offence to those 2 lads, just my opinion).

I couldn't agree with you more about Cacace. The few times I saw him he was completely suited to the scoring system. He'd get his few points and then keep his distance - but in a very stylish manner indeed. I'd imagine he won the vast majority of his fights via points decision. I hope he does really well, but I can't see him smashing his way onto the pro scene with, as you say, "brickfists"

Eddie Hearn to make announcement today, but I hear Paul McCloskey will fight Mexican two-time world champ Julio Diaz at the Odyssey on May 5.

Diaz has lost four of his last eight, but has Hearn honoured his promise? I think he has.

 

so it says in todays Mirrror anyway!!!!

So far there are 7 boxers announced for this Belfast show (including Dudey and Diaz) but not one from Belfast. Now there's a way to get the tickets flying out!
