Macklin is a totally different fighter now than he was then so i have to agree with you there.....

Dunne is Not Done

Jonny Stapleton - Freddie Roach has backed Bernard Dunne to bounce back from the loss of his WBA boxing super bantamweight World Title claiming “Dunne is not done.” The man regarded as the greatest boxing trainer in world is adamant the Irish people should not be looking for a new boxing superstar just yet and added his support to the campaign to get the Dubliner to move up a weight. However while he states Dunne should not be replaced as Ireland’s number one boxing superstar, Roach does claims he is working with an Irish talent that become known world wide..

Roach, who is regarded as the mastermind behind pound for pound ring king Manny Pacquiao’s success as well as the rejuvenation of Ahmir Khan, is now training and co managing former Crumlin amateur Dean Byrne. He believes ‘Irish Lightening’ Byrne has the talent and desire to cause a major storm in the boxing world.

“I believe in my heart of hearts Dunne is not done. He is a quality fighter and a real talent. I do think he should go up in weight. That I believe is a must. In fact I am 100% percent certain he should,” Roach, who worked with Dunne in the famous Wild Card Boxing gym earlier in the former World Champion career, said before discussing Byrne Dunne comparisons.

“I think 2010 will be the beginning of the next stage in Dean Byrne’s career. He will eventually get a lot of national and international recognition. Rather then compare him to Dunne I'd say that he will be the next fighter that people compare Dunne too. I have too much respect for Dunne to say he should be replaced by Dean as Ireland’s number one boxer. As for Dean Byrne the fans will make their own comparison. That's natural. I do think they will say he's the best since Dunne and he's the new Irish fighter to get behind Dean is a pure talent, he's exciting to watch, he moves very well, has the combination of speed and power, he listens, works hard, loves to fight, so if he wants it bad enough, then he'll be the champion. And I know he wants it" ​

 

was at conference two irish titles on antony fitzgerald vs lee murtagh vacant sup/middle and paulie hyland defends his superbantam title against eugene heagney also on bill is gavin prunty @ mick kelly dont know who else is on

 

Thats it Im there:thumbsup

 

the big fights for irish boxers is coming thick and fast...good luck magee

 

Good ould Mads - ould been the operative word for the Danish Golden Boy. I wrote his wikipedia page back in January - cant remember why but he must have been linked with some Irish boxer for me to spend time on him.

He has surely been around for a long time and deserves his shot but it definately beatable and I would make Magee slight favourite.

Mads ****ed his shoulder up and was out of the ring for a while and I doubt he is the same anymore.

Interestingly BoxRec have him down to fight Dimitri Sartison for the same title in January!

 

just got my tickets for rogie

roll on friday

 

Will you ever get a fu**ing grip....If you want to fight 1 of the Hylands,Well and good but go about it in a proper and official manner - Thats what promoters and managers are there for, To do all the arrangments for fights not shite talking on a boxing forum..........

 

Adam why the hell if Paulie fighting Heagney again when he won pretty much every round last time ?, I mean Heagney did make him work last time out and it was a decent scrap to watch but it just seems completely pointless.

Is it a ploy to rise in the European rankings(though defending the Irish title) ?

 

Hope it is a ploy otherwise this is a huge step back for Paul.

 

Paulie was approached by the Peters camp about defending the title against Heagney...And Paulie accepted their last meeting was at Bantamweight when Paulie won but Heagney thinks he may be stronger at Super-Bantam.
Have tickets if anyone is interested they are €50 a pop!!!!

And i only noticed the Cork show has been changed to the 4th of December, Surely that can only mean bad things for Paschal Collins as i cant see boxing fans going to both.......

 

cant wait for Macklin

 

adam youve jus been reeled in there thats not carl frampton textin its someone else pb ....
