Irish Boxing

I have to admit I dont know enough about this team of young boxers to give an opinion on there medal chances, but it will be interesting watching how they go.

 

I feel the need to congratulate a young lad from my club St Bronagh's Rostrevor. Declan Trainor won the heavyweight title at the Antrim intermediates on Friday. He's a two time National Champion (schoolboy and U19) and should be big noise at the seniors when he enters for the first time this year.

 

Its nice to see young lads coming through Cormac. Do you think he can beat Con Sheehan?????

 

He's beaten some good lads already, notably Ciaran McAuley and Ulster senior Champion Shane Curran so he has some serious pedigree. Still only 20 years old. 6'2" and lean as hell. Id say he is value for the Ulster Senior Title this year, not sure about the All Ireland's just yet, but definitely within the next two or three years.

 

He sounds like a future star Cormac. As long as he stays dedicated.:hi:

 

Some new stuff

I read in the western people last week that michael sweeney is flying out to philly this week for a five day training camp in joe frazier's gym on banner promotion's head art pellulo's invitation. This could be a big chance for sweeney as pellulo is a huge promoter.

 

Ta for that Cormac. Does that mean that Francie Barrett isnt making a comeback in Kilarney

 

sweeney has showed good progress...and has lost weight lately...i hope things work out 4 him stateside:good
