A few snaps and a round up from the awards

 

I went out and bought the Irish news after I read this.I seen the photo of you and all the boxers, and the write up underneath[good PR].Thats the first time I have bought this paper, there was a 2 page spread of boxing:happy. I recommend the Irish News to all boxing fans. There was a piece on a big announcement on Thursday about Dunne challenging for the world title in March. This must have been what bambam was talking about a few weeks back.:yep

 

The Irish News has two pages of boxing every Tuesday called Seconds out and most days there would be at least one good original story from thomas Hawkins or Eamonn O'Hara, so I must say it is a good paper for boxing fans. That said so is the Belfast Telegraph, who have Boxing Monthly's David Kelly and Jack Magowan. Getting the Southern papers up here isnt so easy. Any recommendations?

i get the irish news everyday..its a good all round read...and yes it covers a lot of boxing....good news today on duddy and dunne...but who is dunne boxing...any clues cormac

 

Jaysus I never said a word :good

Has to be Leuvano if its at FW. Cruz and John and slated to fight in Feb and Larios is fighting in March. Leuvano is the only one without a confirmed next fight.

At SBW Caballero and Juanma have fights lined up. Vasquez doesn't :? I hope to **** he's not thinking of getting in with him. He has little chance of winning no matter who he faces but I'd hate to see him get totally smashed up. And I have no doubt Vasquez would do a number on him in double quick time.

It has to be Leuvano. Unless he's thinking of going for an IBO title. Not one of the big 4 but there are some decent IBO champions. Klitschko, Banks, Dawson, Diaz, Hatton. It's the next best belt to a big 4. Some good champions give it a bit of credibility. Mike Oliver is the current IBO champion. He'd have a good crack at beating him.

Any thoughts on this one lads? ever since I heard a while back I've just assumed its Leuvano. Now I'm not so sure. The lad that I get the info off is an awful man for details. I'll try him again tonight and see what I can find out

 

War Ireland.

 

Whoever he fights hes up against it, but he deserves his crack and it will be a night to remember at the Point.

 

Some great photos there Cormac, congrats:thumbsup

 

Cabellero:-(

I hope it doesn't go the way I expect it to

 

****, thats gonna be tough. Bernard will have to stay on his bike all night to have a chance against this guy.:deal

 

John just needs to find something called "lateral movement"

 

Worse than that, he's going to have to avoid taking anything more than a glancing blow to the head all night to have a chance. If Caballero lands a heavy shot and wobbles him or buzzes him then he'll jump all over him and take him out. It could end up being a nasty KO as well.

Caballero is a top line operator. He's a WBA/IBF title holder and he has some good scalps. He went into Molitors back yard and beat him to a pulp. Plus he's a freak of nature.

A 5"11 SBW is just not normal. 72" reach as well. Bernard is usually tall(ish) for the weight. Now he gives away a lot of height and reach. That means he won't be able to get outside and jab. Even if he does he won't have the punch power to discourage Caballero who will probably walk him donw.

I expect Caballero to jump on him right from the off and go for a 1st round KO. Dunne is a slow starter so anything is possible. I just hope he manages a decent showing
