Irish Boxing

I know savon has beat tishenko in the past... but I was going on there semi final performances... savon looked to be struggling with the pace, made hard work of it... in some ways a bit like ward in that both boxers are bursting with talent and ability but maybe not training as hard as they use to...and its starting to show in there performances...just a thought:think:good

 

Others who could spring a surprise:

52 - Myers
60kg - Cully, Bates
64kg - Joyce
69kg - Hynes, Crocker

 

We finished in fifth place in terms of medals won. Impressive.

 

I completely agree about Cully!! Which Joyce is that for 64kg? I reckon Wayne Kelly could be the man now that he's down to 64kg!

 

joyce has now moved to 2/5 ..... so there must be a lot of money going on yoka.... any1 views on the semis

Tony Yoka
Joe Ward
Ivan Dychko
Yosbany Veitia
Mohammed Rabii

I fancy these five to win at least:good

To Win Gold Hide
Arlen Lopez

Bektemir Melikuziev
5/2



Above from PP.
Maybe LaCruz as a semi winner?

 

lads what time is Joe Ward in the ring this eve?

RTE have coverage I see but will it be highlights at 7pm?

 

is there anywhere we can watch it live?

 

New Yorker s show up in droves for good Irish boxers. Expect an MSG sellout when a good one fights.

 

Happy days, Ward took the last round off it was a comfortable enough win.

 

Fair play. delighted for Joe to get his olympic spot, he can enjoy the final now.

La Cruz is a formidable opponent, but you never know on the day.

Wouldn't it be something else to have a couple of Senior Mens amateur world champions

 

Anybody watch the Joyce-Yoka fight? A lot of the Brits and Richie Woodhall claiming robbery, I don't think it was.

 

and I got yoka at 7/2...u beauty:good

 

nah it was close m8 but no robbery.... do u wanna put your picks down for the finals pal:good

 

I watched it , yoka took the first easy

in the 2nd ,woodall and his cheerleading sidekick kept raving on about how hurt yoka was, well even when he was supposibly hurt he was still landing the better cleaner shots. 2nd to yoka. I gave the 3rd to joyce.

I hate when people cry robbery when its not and its not like rchie woodall to do it his very honest. but sometimes when its the gb guys in there he gets carried away

joyces work was sloppy and ineffective, yoka showed good movement the better punch variety and the cleaner shots
