Irish Boxing

It's never gonna happen

 

Easy to say that Marty, but in today's world......if it makes money it makes sense, ...I wouldn't rule it out.
Also I wonder how many eejits got burned after making plans to go watch Conor rematch the last guy that beat him.....gob****es...serves em right....

(Britain)Talented winner of Euro qualifier. Lost to Asenov in the European championship final but beat him in the Olympic qualifiers.

(Armenia)beat Picardi and Irvine in Euro qualifiers but has lost to many to be considered gold quality. Conlon beat him some time back.

This division sees no outstanding gold prospect but rather as many as Twelve potential winners. I would include Irvine in that lot. Vietta, Aloyan, Mamishzada, Vargas, Jianguan, Zoirov, De los Santos, Sattibayev, Ali, Flissi, Emigdion and Irvine. Indeed Abgaryan, Martinez, Cintron, or the home boy Neto could defeat any of the above. Add in Asenov, Finol –the PanAm champion, beat Vietta), Avila,Piccardi, Touba, Fatych, Usenaliyev and Jimenez who have yet to qualify and there will be very few easy fights here.

the European champion has wins over Ali, Jianguan, Willie Donohue, Frankie Cleary, but lost to Irvine in a play-off for a Rio place. It is one division where Europe isn’t the strongest region, both America and Asia having the edge. Mamishzada, Ali, and Asenov have all showed flashes as has Brendan. The longer it goes on Irvine will be growing into the weight and certainly can medal. A lot of the top men will be coming down from APB, and WSB distances and could struggle with the pace.
You could turn this top ten on it’s head, or even the top twenty. The World qualifier should be good as indeed will the APB-WSB box-offs. Personally I really like Irvine's style but here goes with my rankings.
1-Aloyan
2-Mamishzada
3-Sattibayev
4-Vargas
5-Veitia
6-Emigdion
7-Ali
8-Irvine
9-Jianguan
10-De los Santos

 

Sutcliffe lost a MD according to boxrec,It was always going to be hard to get a decsion over there,Was probably worth a gamble though,

 

It must have been close, probably robbed

 

Quigley looked very good tonight, great 10 rounds for him.

 

Looks like things didnt go to plan for some of the Irish lads last night in spain (from the mgm page)

Congratulations to all the fighters, both boxers and kickboxers, professional and amateur who took part in Pros and Rookies II event in San Pedro Carpa Municipal last night, there were many fights and congratulations to Costi Ion, Antonio Gomez, Declan Geraghty for Knockout wins in their bouts, Tyrone McKenna's fight was stopped after a clash of heads left both boxers with cuts and the referee called the fight off. Sean Turners fight was stopped after both boxers kept fighting after the referee tried to intervene.

 

Sounds a little stupid from Turner

 

He's a clown

 

can you tell me who the top 10 Irish prospects are??

 

Needs a lot of work inside

 

Smashing gaushas head in training i hear

 

Jason Quigley
tommy mccarthy
Philip Sutcliffe
john joe nevin
jono carroll
Declan geraghty
Jamie conlan
luke keeler
Anthony cacace
Conrad cummings

of the top my head :good

 

Ryan Burnett is the no 1 prospect imo

TJ Doheny is another decent prospect based in Australia and also there's a good heavyweight gone pro under Virgil Hunter called Con Sheehan.

Steve Collins Jr looks decent for someone who never fought as an amateur .

Some serious talent in the amateurs who will turn over after the Olympics in Michael Conlan, Joe Ward, Paddy Barnes and Brenda Irvine to name a few

 

Isnt there a red haired 155/160lber from somewhere like West Cork making waves stateside??? Cant think of his name.....
