Irish Boxing

is there any word on brian magees next fight???

 

:rofl:rofl

 

no chance rte show the lee fight at 3am

 

why??...they get it cheap enough they will:deal

 

RTE are a joke. I guess they could get the fight pretty cheap. **** it we dont need anyone in the studio just pick up the American feed. I can imagine IF Lee wins the fight and no RTE coverage its just stinks. No doubt they will be onto Andy to help them out with the Olympics boxing coverage again. Yet the ****ers wont try and get his most important fight of all time.

**** RTE and there stupid coverage of Rugby and league of ireland football theres a game every week that they ****ing show on them. I dont even think they would get many people watching the League of Ireland compared to the Boxing. I would be shocked it a league of Ireland game got near the amount of viewers that the boxing has in the past.

Summer of Sport they say Olympics and Euros and GAA sadly thats the only sports they are willing to show.

 

Oh yes, the Ryle bile in my belly is feeding off the growing resentment.

 

I haven't even heard anything on the RTE news about the fight. :verysad

 

i was checking box nation scheduling(nothing about the Lee fight)
It has Steve Ormonde fighting Mickey Coveney on the 5th (yes thursday night)
We have already been told it will be over 10 rounds im just wondering will Coveneys Irish crown be on the line,Cant see him getting the distance with Ormonde to be honest..Diffrent classes IMO.

ormond already beat coveney 7th rd stoppage ..
thinks its for the irish title on a boxacademy card

hopefully he gets someone like steven smith in sept after this

 

as far as i know its not for the title was over the gym today and he was saying he doesnt have to make super feather as its not for a title, spike is on the same bill a 10 rounder ill be over doing some sparring with him next week and timsy is suppose to be fighting tony conquest in september!! :thumbsup

 

in another lifetime....they showed sean mannion v mike mccallum at a similar time.....many moons ago though

 

before my time

Shame mannion doesnt get the recognition over here that he does in the states...
