Brings it all back what a shambles Rio was. First we lose the worlds best amateur coach in an Olympic year, then we allow ore illy to travel to the olympics despite him failing a drugs test here at home before departure...and that's before we even got to Rio at all!.you couldn't make it up!! Proper scut though, ore illy..isn't he..what's that? 37 previous convictions? Beam me up Scotty!
He seems durable anyway. All the fights he didn't win he went the distance. Does anyone know if John joe Nevin us training in England with Jim McDonnell?
It used to be gas hearing Irish spoken in the corner during his fights. Very very brave and tough guy, great engine, but feather-fisted and limited. Never should have been in with McCallum, and it was hard to watch...McCallum gave him an awful beating.
Does anyone think Jamie conlon can win his upcoming fight with jerwin ancajas? Looks like Jamie has come to crunch time in his career. If ancajas is typical of the Philippine production line of Teak tough hard nuts, and he probably is.....then it's all over for Jamie. Hope Jamie doesn't take too much of a beating. Let's hope his corner and the ref take care of him if, as I expect, it goes bad. I don't want him taking a mammoth beating in there. Thoughts?
