Irish Boxing

would be great if one of the tv stations over here got the rights

 

Yeah, its a pretty undesirable situation. Id imagine the decision was taken by Sky, probably unwilling to bring the rig over to Belfast the night before Khan v Barrera.

 

be good for the irish contingent of esb to have a wee meet up at the dunne fight...maybe a group photo for the esb archives ??

 

We are doing a supporters club bus from Newry/Dundalk. So Id assume we will be going somewhere for a few drinks before the fight

 

Paddy, good interview with Andy Lee (appart from the dodgy phone line)... He seems like a top bloke, aswell as a good fighter. I for one think he's Irelands best fighter in most departments i.e technically,power,speed, and as paddy eluded to, he has a fantastic chin which must now give him confidence in future fights..
I just hope rte are clever enough to pick up the March 16th fights in the garden.

cheers,

Thanks a million mate. Shame about the line dropping half way through the question be we got our answer in the end. Its probably one of the best shows we've had as regards fighter/fan interaction.

Hes definately destined for big things and i think hes shown that hes learned from the Vera fight

 

paddy I only listenend to part of the interview and it was good of andy to take time out , he seems agood interviewee and seems to be getting on well in detroit. Did you ask him about a bout in thomond park?
If anyone knows if there is any news on a bout there it would be great?

 

I asked him about it off air its all just rumours he said but in saying that he would love to fight there in the future!

Andy's definately a top lad.

Props to Podge for sorting me out with the contact

 

Agree entirely Paddy, i thought both Irish lads (lee and power)came across very well.I think by the end of th year Andy will be in all the sanctions top ten lists.
Power eluded too a prizefighter type tournament for our lightheavies and i would love to see this happen with the winner getting a shot at the irishtitle,someone should really pick up on this,sweeny,power,cresham,waldron,senior to start with.
Good luck to both on the New York bill a big night for Irish boxing to put itsself in the shop window and it would be an absolute disgrace if one of our stations didnt pick it up at the very least at radio level.

 

that sounds like a good idea

setanta showed duddy fight at the garden march 16th 2007....so i dont see any reason why they or rte cant pick it up...its what the fans want

 

Thats a ****ing disappointment, a fight in Belfast was all the talk until now.:-(

 

there will be at least four Sligo knackers in attendance.

I'd be happy with an early meet up cos I wanna see the whole card

 

Guys just heard Roy Sheehan was beaten by Willy Mc Loughlin tonight in the stadium.Got to go down as a big upset.
