Irish Boxing

Cheers, Rogan coming in a bit heavier than the first match. Lets hope it pays off!

 

Rogan looks in excellant shape and Rasilla looks huge, cant believe most of his fights have been at lightweight. Gutted am working tonight and wont see either fight!!!

 

Canada? The nation of 33 million people who have produced 14 world champs compared to our great but small nation of 6 million (North & South) who have produced 17 world champs? Is that what you mean anarci?

We are even ahead of the US per capita. We should have our own forum!

 

you counting McLarnin as one of ours or theirs? :good

 

He's ours!

 

Running order for tonights rogie-sexton bill

11.10 rogie (latest)

 

Before the action starts....My predictions are....

McCloskey ko 5
Rogan ko 8

Fingers crossed......:bbb:bbb

 

Anyone know how Frampton got on??

And results of the undercards..

 

New European champ with a ko win and Paul proved tonight he is undoubtbly Irelands best fighter no question. :happy

 

McCloskey didn't look that good early on for me but it turned into a great performance and he showed his class as the fight grew on.
It'll be interesting to see who he defends against now.

I wouldn't say he's undoubtedly Ireland's best fighter, but it's between him Macklin and Dunne.

 

I think its too early to put McCloskey in against Khan.......Too much too soon defend the EBU a few times first

Just looking at ringside...
At McCloskeys fight there was Martin McGuinness
At Rogans fight there is Paschal Collins and Spike O`Sullivan (think they were looking at Healy) who is in Rogans corner too

Irish boxing has never been this good.....When is the last time about 12 or more irish lads got fights on the same night....

 

On the basis of their last three fights i dont think anyone gets near him.Macklin would be second and a big drop after that.

 

Very disappointed in Rogie.....He is a totally different fighter than he was with Breen and the brought out the worst in him...

Im a huge Rogie fan and really hopes he bounces back from this but i think it very unlikely

 

Dunne & Macklin have faced better opposition than McCloskey. Do you really think Lynes, Harrison & Rasilla are better oppposition than Faccio, Cordoba & Poonsawat!! Even with Dunne's loss to Poon you still couldn't put him below McCloskey or Macklin.
