Irish Boxing

Spike/Hyland report on Irish-boxing.com courtesay of Mark Stokes.

 

Who watched Arthur Abraham box last night. He won, but was very poor:verysad. Now I read somewhere this week[the link was posted on here] that Abrahams people are interested in a fight with Duddy. AA workrate was shite last night and he looked under pressure a lot of the times, and I could not help thinking if that was Duddy fighting AA last night Ireland would have had a new world champ.Any thoughts lads:think

me and bigtime timmy were talking about this when i was over in yank lad he felt the new duddy has what it takes to not only outbox abraham but take anything abraham could throw at him.

duddy would be nuts to take this fight in germany though.....

 

Good article on Brian peters, Talking about next week's fight.

A couple of quote's from Peters:
‘‘Times are tough, money is scarce, so you have to be innovative and put on a show,” said Peters. ‘‘We have a lot of tricks up our sleeve. Mark my words, it will be the best night in Irish boxing history.”

‘‘If Bernard wins, Main Street Las Vegas here we come,”

 

Great article ninebar, Peters it appears is a bit of a enigma:yep

 

When is Andy Lee going to fight again.?

 

this saturday

 

yeah duddy could certainly give him a decent fight....i think pavlik would empty king arthur

 

Against who

 

former european title challenger alex sipos of spain

 

I always felt a Lee fight with Abraham was more likely, simply down to his Kiltschko connection and the fight would have to take place in Germany, where his name would (perhaps) be easier to market.

He'd make a good go of it too.

 

what time are doors opening / first bout on saturday lads ?

i remember being at the point in 95{?} for jim rocks debut..could be back at the same place for his final one saturday...steve collins headlined that night, his brother pascal fought...michael carruth..paul griffin, and if i'm right eamonn magee made his pro dbut that night too...
i remember they were handing out little flyers outside the point before and after for jim rock the pink panther...anyone remember those flyers??

 

Just wondering what people thought of Barker this weekend since hes been calling out Duddy...

Havent got a chance to see it myself but i heard he was rocked.
