Irish Boxing

Joe what can I say ...you sound like a turkey cheering for Christmas!
Can't you see this inactivity is not just killing boxers careers...it's killing boxing. Killing the sport you follow and try to make a crust out of!
More in your line to use your position to condemn this inactivity and push for far more frequent fights....to everyone's benefit, not least yourself and Luke 'part time boxer" Keeler's.
We should all condemn the "modern" cancer of inactivity at every opportunity joe.
Happy new year to you both and no offence meant.

 

Any news of john joe nevin. Remember him?
He used to be quite a successful boxer one time.
Did some judge finally get sick of the sight of him and throw him in jail or what?
Any chance we'll see him in the sports pages instead of the court reports in 2017?

Good to see big Tom is making some badly needed changes.
His new training routine is said to involve a lot more rope skipping.....any more performances like his last one and tommy will have to skip town.....

 

I'm surprised som more of the Irish Olympic team haven't made the leap.
Would have though Donnelly and Ward would make fine pros.

Even Reilly if he can get himself together

 

Happy new year dutchie!
Now Who could you possibly be alluding to ....I wonder....
So far only me an puca have ventured any predictions....how about you giving it a go?

 

So no-one has ANY predictions .....no-one at all?
Come on whats the matter with ye?
Looks like Puca and I are the only real men on here.....

 

Wow...5 treated for brain damage already in Dublin alone!
Any chance the gummint might ban this thuggery once and for all????
at this rate boxing won't have to worry about competition fro mma ...looks like mma will destroy itself.

Pretty much exactly as I was saying about Luke Keeler.

Great to see him back and with the right attitude.

He has all the goods to be a great success...even...according to Mrs Len ...the looks too. ( she reckons Luke looks just like 80s Hollywood heart throb actor the late Patrick Swayze...I googled it and....amazingly ...in some photos they could be twins)

Get the fights, get the wins And good luck to you in 2017 Luke!

 

I think luke has the potential also....it wood b great to see him back in some meaningful fites

 

I can see more big nights in Belfast...to look forward to

 

That's it? That's your prediction? Come on Fra you can do better than that! Join me and puca and make some proper predictions fir 2017.....

 

Happy new year lads sorry not been active but found this very funny so had to reply

Busy year planned ahead Feb 25th defending title in Dublin, word of matchroom show for Burnett in April if they can make world title fight promised slot on that then June fight with cruise.

Good news with itv and bt sport coming into boxing reckon be more slots and potential shows in new year. Mind made up aswel dedicate completely full time boxing part time work instead of vice versa!! Only kidding meself and don't want to have any regrets!!!

See John Wischhausen Head of boxing for matchroom move to ITV went completely under radar just announcement of Frank Smith as head of boxing getting any press.

 

Well,i'll start with the easy one-Katie,seems the womens pro scene seems easier that the amateur.
Don't think Paddy b will step up but I hope I'm wrong as he would be great for Irish boxing.
Michael Conlon could be anything and I think he could do really well but hopefully they don't rush him.
Ryan Burnett looks something special and I think he could be our top fighter this year.
Don't rate Luke k or Tommy mac.
Jason Quigley to continue on the up.
Don't rate Jamie Kavanagh.
Conrad Cummings to jump up the ratings.
Still undecided on Carl Frampton,not sure if his chin is the best,but hope he will still hold a belt in 2018.
And finally Andy Lee to come back and fight for another world title, Andy still pissed off that he let saunders take his title so easy,2017 Andy gets tactics right and shows the world how good he is.

 

good luck luke...you have the power to go places...hopefully this will be your year
