So O reilly took a supplement given to him by someone unrelated to his team that turned up to be a banned substance. Is this man as thick as he makes out or is he guilty as sin,no room for fools in the Olympics,if he is foolish enough to take a supplement from someone without getting the ok from his team he is better off looking at the Olympics from portlaoise.
I saw the lad Ward is boxing in Cuba last year on a WSB show. Serious handful. He was the only away winner that night (boxing for Mexico). He's got a lot of self-belief, loves the crowd, and he's big and fast - I actually thought he was a heavyweight. If Ward can handle his explosiveness tonight, I'll be very impressed. To put it in perspective, Mina beat La Cruz at home in Havana that night - and La Cruz is favourite at LHW in Rio.
what are you smokin you clown? ,it was 6 weeks ago he was 8 kg over and he had to fight higher weight in wsb anyway .He had to go light fly as he had no other options... you really do bring this thread down a couple of notches
Calm down moorser. Regarding Barnes weight, I misunderstood what he said....I thought it was 7 days ...it was 7 weeks ok I was wrong....and I corrected my mistake in an earlier post. Now how about you address the REAL issues instead of attacking me ....
At least NOW it is out in the open what he did. So feel free to criticise him, dutchie. It's the clowns who rushed to judgement BEFORE the facts were known that I was after.
Any of our resident experts on amateur boxing care to venture a prediction on how ward will get on tonight?
Ward was robbed there it seemed that guy got away with a lot of holding and rough housing. The best boxing team we sent to the Olympics and its looking like its going to be a bad Olympics so far from a talented team. Hopefully the team gets back on track asap.
honestly i think ward deserved the loss, he did not perform. he did a lot of the holding too. bernard dunne seems to be the only one with brains on this stupid rte cast
Billy Walsh leaves the Irish camp and Irelannd under performs. Billy Walsh goes to the American camp and they look to be having their best Olympics in quite a while. The man has the golden touch
