Irish Boxing

Not any republican car, just a sligo car

 

probably..knowing my luck

 

I would love to see this fight happening. I know Moore would take it but maybe Coyles management think it is too early? It would be a fantastic fight though!
Really good for the fans

 

Does anyone know anything about Danny McDermott, i remember hearing big things about him a while back but haven't heard much since?

 

didnt know to ask this here or on the classic forum...

anyone know anything about a heavyweight from roscommon called jim coffey...fought, i think, around 1915 onwards...and all in america...

??

thanks



and...while speaking about roscommon heavyweights....anyone here seen declan timlin fight?

 

Know a lot of Coffey, he shares my birthday, January 16th(he's a mite older!)
He was a top contender in the mid-1910's and beat a slew of good contenders. A big (for his time) HW with a good punch and skills, but his chin was brittle. He got within one fight of a title shot with Willard(whom he might have beaten) but Frank Moran put his lights out. He came home to Ireland from the States and worked the home farm.

 

thanks fella...is there still coffeys in roscommon i wonder ?

 

Yeah, Family Still Around Frenchpark And Gurtyganney.

I've seen him box a few times. I dont want to be too critical, but he aint the next heavyweight champ:rofl:rofl, but he might get a crack at the Irish title, although he will be hard pushed to win that also.

 

I think this is a fight that all the fans want to see. One for the future I think:deal

 

fights between 2 irish prospects...is as common as snow storms in the saharaatsch:good

 

wow....thought that was buried that fight...

ardy...how do you think this one plays out....and is it too late now to consider harrison any kind of prospect ?
