Irish Boxing

Stunning display by Katie.
I was most impressed with how she opened up the turtle shell defense switching from body to head and back again.
The vicious steak was great to see aswell.
She is the best in the world now.
Her coach has really impresed me his techniques and the way he conducts himself.doesn't seem ti want the limelight.I must confess don't know much about him.any of the experts here got any info on him.

 

Con Sheehan back out against 19-55-6 Ferenc Zsalek on the 10th.

 

According to Boxrec Sokolowski is facing Ian Lewison in a 6 rounder on April 1st. Nothing about him facing Turner.

 

Fight was called off on the day, paperwork issues for Turner. Unsure of the details, something to do with him (a BUI license holder) fighting on a BBBoC card

 

Michael Conlan: The Hope of a Nation” Debuts 14 Days Before Pro Debut



It's T-Minus 14 days until Ireland's Olympic hero Michael "Mick" Conlan celebrates St. Patrick's Day by making his professional debut headlining a special card at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Conlan's pro debut, which will be as a featherweight, in a six-round bout against Tim Ibarra (4-4, 1 KO), of Denver, is set for Friday, March 17 at the "O'Mecca of Boxing."
And to put an exclamation point on the occasion, fellow countryman and UFC superstar and lightweight champion Conor McGregor has accepted Conlan's invitation to walk him into the ring!
Conlan joins an elite group of Olympic medalists, including George Foreman, Evander Holyfield and Jermaine Taylor, to make his professional debut on boxing's most hallowed ground, but none of them were featured in the main event like Conlan.
Top Rank, which is promoting this special event, in association with Hennessy and Madison Square Garden, has just released a new video "Conlan: The Hope of a Nation" documenting Conlan's personal journey to his pro debut. Produced by Craig Shapiro, the video was shot in Conlan's hometown of Belfast and New York.
Conlan, 25, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, produced one of the most memorable moments during last summer's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. A loss in the bantamweight quarterfinals to Russia's Vladimir Nikitin was arguably the most controversial of the boxing tournament.
In fact Conlan hurt Nikitin so badly that the Russian forfeited his semifinal fight because he wasn't able to recuperate from the injuries he suffered from the pasting he received from Conlan.
After the decision was announced, Conlan saluted the judges with both middle fingers followed by a series of post-fight interviews ripping the decision and accusing the International Boxing Association (AIBA), which oversees amateur boxing, of corruption.
AIBA sent the judges who worked that fight home in the wake of the immediate public outrage. Conlan further added to his legend by sending a Tweet to Russian president Vladimir Putin, "How much did they charge you bro???"
A former amateur standout who was a 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist and 2015 World Amateur Champion, a first for a male Irish fighter, Conlan is training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles.
Remaining tickets to Conlan's pro debut are priced at $200, $150, $100, $75 and $50. They can be purchased at the Madison Square Garden Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster charge by phone (866-858-0008), and online at www.ticketmaster.com and www.thegarden.com

 

Good show in Belfast this friday,
Hope to see a much more impressive Paddy Barnes and simpler win for Jamie Conlan and a win for Decko Geraghty after a good scrap,

 

4/6 Geraghty... decent odds puca.... what do you think

 

definetly best odds on the card for me,

 

Tennyson has a glass chin.... but can Geraghty exploit that

 

Chin or not i think Geraghty is a better all round boxer,was so as an amateur is so as a professional, Not sure about the stoppage but i do expect Declan to win, (8/11in Paddy Powers)
Nice start to the weekend

Mc Kenna to win on points at 5/4 is not too bad either, sneaky double maybe.

 

The Matchmaker never sent paperwork within a 24hr deadline for Tims or Turner and British board wouldn't budge, was talking to a guy Regards Tennyson and Geraty, Gary Hydes new pro that was over recently sparred both lads and said he really fancied Tennyson from those spars, haven't seen much of Tennyson myself so can't comment Geraty is quality boxer so I'd back him in close ten round decision

 

Paddy Barnes at it again - what a spoofer!

http://www.irish-boxing.com/they-will-see-my-golovkin-power-paddy-barnes-ready-to-bring-the-pain/

Personally I cant see him doing anything as a pro.

 

Interesting i would have leaned geraghtys way also, but maybe im wrong

 

Gary hydes guy quoted as saying it be like man against boy Regards Tennyson against Geraty but as the Belfast lads do I'll stick behind fellow dub and predict close points win experience against Jono will stand to him and hopefully he won't get caught up in a scrappy fight stick to his boxing and pick up good win.

 

seems that sparring partner was right
