    So Andy Lee isn't fighting a welterweight...he's fighting a 39 year old with 19 losses.

    :-(

    Interesting one here for ye lads. Back in the 2008 Under-18 all-irelands Darren Cruise beat Sean Turner 12-7 in the semi final of the super heavyweight 91+ division. Now he's boxing at middle - strange one

    In fairness, Turner does look like a middleweight in a heavyweights body, that could have been cruise a few years ago:lol:

    A lot of people can't handle Turner's power though, so fair play to Cruise there. I know what u mean tho, he must have been a bit of a barrel at one stage himself :lol:

    Turner has a bit of power fair enough, wonder how would he perform as a light-heavyweight though?:think

    Ya it would be interesting to see....or even at heavy. He'd have so much weight to lose though. I'd imagine he's over 110kgs at the moment :shock:

    He is more than that I say he was 117.6kg for the senior final I think.Maybe he is but it would be interesting to see.

    Ya I guessed it was over 110, so it doesn't surprise me that he's closer to 120. I think it's a bit unrealistic that he'll ever drop below super-heavy. To lose nearly 5 stone would be a huge ask, especially when he's not doin too bad at SHW
