I just posted a thread about is I wish Martin Rogan were still around. Any new up and coming Irish heavyweights I should keep my eye on?
Newry Conor Wallace vs Faris Chevalier IBF no 9 added to Breidis vs Opetia undercard Gold Coast May 11.
Is Sheamus McDonagh well known in Ireland? He stepped in to fight Holyfield in 1990 after Tyson got KO'd by Buster Douglas. Sheamus was brutally knocked out but was very game in the fight. Timestamped the KO here. Sheamus was from County Meath in Ireland. This content is protected
* Dennis Hogan in line to fight for a world title for a third time to face the winner of the postponed Erislandy Lara vs Garry O' Sullivan fight.
Hurricane and Spike both wanted that fight a couple of years ago: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/dennis-hogan-vs-gary-osullivan.666421/
Right down the street from me last night they had an "Ireland vs. Boston" amateur invitational. Went with my mom and son. Saw a couple of VERY good Dubliner prospects: Brandon Joyce, slick as cat cack, pitched a beautiful stick and move shutout. And in the main event this lad Bobbi Flood: This content is protected Lil Butt became a huge fan because Bobbi came round and chatted us up a bit. (he saw that I'd written out makeshift scorecards on the backs of our programs to do a RBR of each bout - naturally - and wanted to know what we thought of his teammate Calum Powell's bout. I told him his boy was in fact robbed blind, which is what probably everyone with a brain and eyes in the building thought. Even the emcee reading it out was like "really? Is this right?" ) Mercedes: https://boxrec.com/en/box-am/1072812 Flood https://boxrec.com/en/box-am/1066949 (Damn impressive amateur mark, that...51-3, or rather 52-3 after yesterday, with 11 stops. I'll be watching to see how he goes in the pros) Eyrie went 7-3 (1 RSC) versus Beantown overall in the ten main bouts. Fifteen fight card total, prelims were all young Massachusetts novices. Pair of mad 12 year olds had FOTN.
Gary Cully, Thomas Carty, maybe JJ Metcalf. A lot of Irish domestic fights. Paddy Donovan vs Darragh Foley too. Nothing has been officially announced yet though. Agyarkho vs Williamson on December 2 in Belfast instead.
How impatient are we feeling with Mighty Joe now, boyos? https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...s-liam-walsh-vs-béla-istván-orbán-rbr.727988/
