    Manny Pacquiao’s Irish stable mate Dean Byrne has backed the Philippine superstar to emerge victorious from boxing latest ‘mega fight’ in the MGM Grand this coming Saturday.


    Former Crumlin amateur Byrne has been training in the famous Wild Card Gym along side the Pacman for his last three ‘super fights’, and believes, just as in those bouts, Pacquiao will emerge victorious when he takes on Miguel Cotto this weekend.


    Byrne, who has been tipped for the top by Freddie Roach, believes Paqiuao will defeat the Puerto Rican powerhouse and remain pound for pound world champion.

    The Dubliner claims Pacquiao is as hungry for success as ever and went as far to predict he will bring a premature end to the fight and finish Cotto before the seventh bell.


    “I haven’t been with Manny for all of this camp but I have been there training with him since the Marquez fight. I have seen him prepare for the Del Hoya and Hatton fights. I have seen him up close and I have spared against him. When you do that is easy to see why the Pac Man is pound for pound the best fighter in the world. I believe he will stop Cotto in round 7. He is still as hungry now as he ever was. Success hasn’t stopped him wanting to win. You just have to look how he trains to see that.



    “I said he would stop Dela Hoya in nine and he managed that in round eight. I also predicted a second round KO against Ricki Hatton. Manny gets better each fight mentally and physically. I am sure he will defeat Cotto. It will be a great fight to watch. I wish I could be there to support my hero and friend,” Byrne said before explaining how beneficial he has found it working with one of boxing’s biggest names.



    “He is the nicest guy you can meet out side the ring and the fact he has become a super star hasn’t changed him. I have learned a lot from him and I hope to be champion of the world like him some day. I am glad to be training in wild card and to have Freddie Roach in my corner but being able to train alongside a legend like Manny is the icing on the cake.”

    Thats the way i see it.Will be interesting to see if Andy can use his boxing skills to coax him out of that shell, this could be a slow paced tactical battle. Hoping for a lee late stoppage (8 round) but most likely a points win.Either will do.

    I can see Andy Lees fight going the distance tonight too.....The guy he is fighting hasnt been stopped in his 3 losses. Dont think Andy will do enough to stop him...

    He will box on the defensive for the first 8 rounds and go for a stoppage in the last 2 which i dont think is enough time.

    Its only my opinion though...Hopefully he can stop him but i think he will win on points calling it 98-95 all round give or take a round

    Boxing: Lee can upset Belghecham's prediction of a French double












    By Thomas Myler

    Saturday November 14 2009

    EUROPEAN Union and French middleweight champion Affif Belghecham predicts double doom for Ireland tonight -- for his opponent Andy Lee at the Limerick University Sports Arena and for the soccer team in their World Cup play-off at Croke Park.
    "French footballers and boxers are on a different level, a much higher level, than the Irish, and that's why it's going to be a big night for France," he said at a crowded weigh-in yesterday.
    "I have watched video clips of Andy and I can understand why everybody is so excited about him. There is no doubt that he has tremendous potential, but I honestly think this fight has come too soon for him.
    Lee declined to make any forecasts: "Belghecham is a southpaw like me and has a good record. He has never been stopped and his record of 19 wins and a draw in 23 fights has to be respected. But we'll see what happens in the ring."
    The Limerick stylist seems to be back to his old form and has won all his four fights since his shock loss in seven rounds to the unheralded American Brian Vera early last year.
    Lee should win, but he must use his skills and avoid too much close-quarter work against a dangerous opponent.
    In the chief support, Limerick lightheavyweight Jamie Power should be too strong for Latvia's Aleksabdres Dunecs.
