The difficulty for ***an is that he is in the 'Who needs him club'. He gave Spadafora and all the others hell - and they get very little kudos or money for fighting him. As such all too often ***an has to mark time, when he is capable of performing against stronger opponents
Not sure, but think there will be another press conference late this week or early next week. I'll keep you posted anyway
Cheers mate:good. I noticed in the reports last week, that other Irish fighters would be on this Dublin show. But outside of Scott Belshaw, what other Irish boxers box out of that promotional group.:think
I havent heard who it might be, but I would imagine Sky would want someone to top the bill with Sutherland as chief support. Because of that Im thinking it will either be Jamie Moore or Rendall Munroe. Perhaps some of the 'freelancers' who can shift a lot of tickets like the Hylands will also be on there.
cheers Cormac, I forgot about Jamie Moore. It would also be in the interests of the Hylands to tie up with a big promoter.The Hylands mother is British which means they can go down the British and Commonwealth route.
Was ***an supposed to be boxing Andrew Murray for the Irish title.This fight has been talked about all year.For christ sake, get it on already.atsch
mentioned on the 'biggest robberies' thread about my mate, vinny feeney who got well robbed when he fought tommy waite for the irish batamweight title about 10 years back....anyone remember it ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Feeney
I was at the fight that night Doug, and I have to say, my memory of it was, that the verdict could have went either way. I certainly would not have considered it one of the biggest robberies. I was a big fan of Feeney, and enjoyed his fights on SKY. I thought Vince under performed against Waite.I'm not disputing you or Sky's stats assertions, I'm simply giving an honest view of someone who was there, and not being swayed by Ian Darke and Glen McCory commentary on TV.
I cant answer the Perez opponent question, but thinking about Sundays fights in Kilarney, I hope O'Sullivan keeps on impressing.Spikes opponent from Latvia has won 2 out of 3,but more importantly he has KOed his last 2 victims. So he will come with a winners mentality.:deal
BOX-OFF WIN ENSURES JOYCE MAKES MOST OF LIFELINE http://www.irishexaminer.com/irishexaminer/pages/story.aspx-qqqg=sport-qqqm=sport-qqqa=sport-qqqid=75263-qqqx=1.asp I know that Frampton was not happy with this lifeline given to Joyce, as Frampton won the mini-tournament to determine who was to go to the Liverpool, and that should have been enough. Carl is now considering his options, and one is to turn professional.
i heard paul mcclokey is fighting on the barnes v lynes undercard in england...on the 5th dec... would this indicate that lee wont b fighting in limerick any time soon....as peters tends 2 put paul on his limereick shows:think any1 any info r views on this:good
