Well its not like he's facing an established champion, Fortuna hasn't proven himself to be anything special just yet, his two best opponents were Cristobal Cruz and Miguel Roman who are not to far above the level that Hyland has been competing at recently I think people are hyping the young Dominican a bit much more than they should at the moment
Fortune looks quality- but its sink or swim for Pajo- I think Pajo is one of our better pros- the problem is cause he struggled to get opponents of serious note- we don't know how good he is... but wba title fight on the undercard of Manny JMM 4- live on HBO- its too good to turn down.
Confidence not coppers reason Brian Magee chose to fight Kessler http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/10/kessler-was-top-of-magees-wish-list-for-all-the-right-reasons/ Help John Joe Nevin pick his ring walk music http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/10/help-john-joe-nevin-pick-his-walk-in-music/
Does anyone else feel that Kessler is in decline? Magee represented himself well against bute, until the body shots caught him. I just feel as if Magee has a shot. I'm almost always wrong, mind you.
Kessler was hurt last time out, whose saying that if Magee clicks Kessler he wont hurt him, anything is possible.:yep
Can't slag Pajo for taking this chance. Too often our lads play it safe and like to bash up taxi drivers to have a nice looking record- Pajo included until now. The problem is that when they do step up, its a big shock to the system and they crumble when somebody actually starts punching back. Obviously hope he does well, but I often wonder if he would even beat Lindsay nevermind challenge for bigger honours.
Yeah, it's a great opportunity. Win or lose, I hope he gives a good account of himself. Kill Fortune's body.

Those two are better than anyone Hyland has faced I've been keeping an eye one this kid for almost 2 years (a friend told me about him when he saw him on a di bella undercard) When i saw him myself I was impressed and since then he has kicked on in his career his two best wins are better than anything patrick hyland has on his record Pajo can pull this one off but it is by no means an easy fight :deal its winnable but hes the underdog.... its not a casey rigo type mismatch
