Irish Boxing

has anyone heard anything about Alo Kelly he was fighting out in New York last year but i haven't heard anything since.

 

last i heard he had to retiree to a detacthed retina

 

I think Lindsay isint too bothered about the date change aslong as he gets his shot.

Its a fight i think everyone is looking forward to cant wait myself.....

 

Moorser right rebel, Kelly had to retire last year because a detached retina.Its a shame as he was on a roll at the time 5 wins 1 draw, I think.:think

Bit disapointed about sweeneys fight being called off shame as I was looking forward to seeing the fight on Irish tv I'd say the boy is gutted hopefully that Paddys day card will be available here in Ireland.

 

Yeah, it must be a real bummer for him.:-(

 

yeah, I wrote this last January and his career really started to seem to be going somewhere - then we got the bad news

 

as much as i would like 2 c sweeney getting a fight in america...egan should try 2 run some shows in ireland...sweeney can fight in Ireland as well as overseas:good

 

funny you should mention that! I asked Rogie if he would fight on one of Egans shows in the near future and he said he would love to. so aslong as warren doesnt have any issues it might be an idea...

 

argeed paddy...the more irish shows the better...its the best way forward:good

 

Great news - Jim Borzell told me that Vanda was supposed to be the original opponent instead of Walid Schmicet

 

Tommy Egan talking about getting dunne a title fight in the summer

I dont see the big deal about him moving up to FW alot of his earlier fights were there

 

Good news for Duddy. Its about time he started fighting again.:yep

And there could be a bigger fight between Egan and Peters, if Dunne decides to jump promotional wagons.

 

I'd be surprised if Dunne did a jump over to Egan. However, Peters really put him on the back burner after the Martinez loss. I know it was a setback but Peters nearly put him out in the cold so if Dunne feels he isn't doing enough at the minute then who knows.

One thing I think everyone will realise when they look back on Dunne's career when he retires is that he hasn't been quite as active as he should be at this stage in his career. He's fought 4 times in 18 months since Martinez. Thats just not enough. If you are a belt holder then you can afford to fight once every 3-4 months but if you are on the fringes you need to be more active and lay down some markers.

Egan has obviously gotten wind of the previous plan to get Leuvano over for March. Must have sensed a chance to steal a piece of the action with Dunne late in the day. He'd really need to work on his stamina and make sure he stayed on his bike and boxed from the outside to have a chance v Cruz
