Slap, Great coverage. Fair play. Bernstein seems class. I think it's going to get even more shambolic before it's over!

Top class work with all the videos Leonard, I am raging I missed the weigh in yesterday. Re: the Irish Title Row. I think it is a disgrace (if true) that the BUI would consider the presence of BBBoC officials for an Irish Title fight. I can understand the rationale to change it to 12 rounds and appoint three judges etc, it would certainly professionalise the national title and be attractive to television, but the presence of BBBoC officials is an intrusion that is unwanted. If the above is true, then fair play to Rogan for not wanting to sign that contract. The BUI should be licensing fights on an all island basis, it would give promoters more options and help boost more activity for the Irish belts.
18 countrys couldnt arrive due to fog at the airport, this is a good thing for Ireland, a lot of boxers hanging around full of nerves in different airports.
Hennessy's weigh in videos http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/04/tyson-fury-v-martin-rogan-the-weigh-in-video/ i cant wait for tonight now
The whole incident with the three [English]scoring judges is to protect Fury from being on the other side of a home town decision, which in Hennessy opinion would have been the case if David Irvine had been the sole scoring judge [which is BUI rules] and the fight had went to the cards, everything else is bogus and they know it. It's made the BUI look like a bunch of amateurs. On the plus side it looks like a full house tonight and on a night when Belfast is remembering the sinking of the Titanic, it's only fitting that two of our most recongisible boxers take part on what will hopefully be a "titanic" struggle for bragging rights of who is the premier heavyweight on the island of Ireland.

Dee Walsh - future star! Was over at his house last night in St James area of Falls Road and it was like Grand Central Station with people still chompin for tickets. Words is that he's done over 400! :shock:
Yeah, I can understand Hennessy's position and overall, having three judges and 12 round distance is a good thing for Irish Title fights, but it should be three BUI appointed judges, not BBBoC. Otherwise do not put the Irish Title on the line.
