If someone died in an Irish boxing ring, would you call for it to be banned?

 

Smith edged out-hard luck.

 

Katie 30-27.

 

Taylor 40-36, 40-36, 40-35.
Beliakova winning too, big fight coming up for Katie.

 

Desmond lost 37-39, after winning first round.

 

Cheers Matt, did you see O'Reilly's bout? What happened there? Did he look injured?

 

Didn't see it, various versions.

Joyce, 30-27, 29-28, 28-28! I really hope he makes it. Think McCormick lost.

Not a guaranteed win for Katie...this is a very loseable fight. Fingers crossed for Katie.

Do you agree MMA should be banned?
