We will see what happens. In fairness he is seriously injured right now and can do nothing for a while. JJ may speak out against that sort of thuggery yet. He may insist on following through procecuting his attackers. He may just do nothing and high-tail it to the States. He has a choice. Will he do the right thing or the easy thing? Doing the right thing is hard. Doing the easy thing is easy. Time will tell.
Great to hear Macklin-Geale is on. Great match-up - both guys work flat out and both have big incentive to win. The loser of this is pretty much finished at top level.
Did I see May 24th? Agreed Mack has a big opportunity here. He better win though - another loss and he goes bye-bye as far as big-time boxing is concerned.
I was shocked he done the prizefighter to be honest. Think he was badly advised. I think for the likes of Dean Byrne yes its a good option but Gallagher maybe not. The kid has some talent no doubting it. Chin may well be questionable has power. Needs to be managed correctly now still young and can still make a good pro needs to be now given time to reflect on what went wrong and how to sort out his defence going forward.
Andy Lee weighed in for his fight tomorrow at 155lbs and looks ripped to fook,:shock: I wonder how much power a drop like that will cost him, Cant wait to hear the reports from tomoorrow night, If it doesnt take too much out of him this could be the start of a very good thing for Andy,
hope they show lee on box nation... if he is strong at light midle then he will be a force for any1:good
Hard to think he can make 154. If he can and do it well, that would nake him a 6'2 LMW....not many of those around!
Lee was ok there but didn't throw enough. Better defences, but too defensively minded. When he throws 3 punch combos he always lands at least one of them. Still needs to lose the "home run" mentality. The speed requests from Booth in the corner were right. If Andy can throw more of those combos he won't need to practice those defensive techniques.
What is it with Andy?? Some nights he looks like a world level fighter....others he seems to completely phone it in and look like he doesnt want to be there.
I thought he got caught way to often tbh, I had it 77 76 but to the french lad,Good argument for the draw maybe but didnt think andy deserved the nod on this one, He is due out again next month in wales so ill hold off judgement about the 154 drop untill then. On the plus side the jab did look better but as you said didnt use it to build enough combos.
