Irish Boxing? LMAO. What the hell does that mean? Putting low talent guys in together with the only draw being that they are Irish and willing to bash each other's brains in? Putting tomato cans in with guys of Irish backgrounds to bash in front of Irish crowds? atsch

This thread is messed up on so many levels, LMAO! :bart:nono

feck off cockhead:fire:good

 

I was speaking with HBO's Harold Lederman last night he's pretty convinced that Duddy Chavez jr will be made next year. I will start digging for something concrete today

 

I hope that fight does get made as Duddy will batter him. I actually only got around to watching Chavez jr's fight on the last Vegas card yesterday on my Sky+ and I cannot believe the hype that this guy has received.

Jim Watt was on the money when he called it as it is - Chavez is nowhere near world class - he wouldnt let him share a phone call with anyone in the top 10 let alone share a ring with them

 

what about Macklin-Duddy. Who wins??????:think





Now is the time to get Pavlik'

Matthew Macklin tells Steve Wellings he's ready for anyone

DISTRACTED: Macklin says Pavlik's head is not in the game SPEAKING backstage after Andy Lee’s 10-round points win over cagey Frenchman Affif Belghecham, European middleweight champion Matthew Macklin was impressed with the Limerick man’s performance and insisted a clash between the pair was a real possibility.
“I’m delighted that Andy won and I didn’t want to see him get beat by any means,” said the Birmingham man, with Tipperary roots. “When someone’s negative they can be hard to look good against and Belghecham was hell-bent on surviving the rounds, so it’s hard to show what you’re capable of. Andy was a little shaken at the end but he’d won every round up to that point and he was panicked rather than hurt.”
Matthew was referring to the final two sessions in which the visitor dramatically came out of his shell and began landing some serious leather through Lee’s guard. Always a popular guest on the Irish scene, the 27-year-old, who starched Amin Asikainen in a round for the European crown, is relishing a Dublin headline slot on December 5.
“I can’t wait to box in the National Stadium,” he enthused, “because it holds an electric atmosphere and a good performance will really top off a great year for me. Next year is all about winning a world title. The first thing I have to do [after the Dublin show] is fight my European mandatory challenger, Dmitriy Pirog, and once I beat him I’ll be looking to fight for a world title. If that didn’t happen then I’d take a voluntary defence and Andy Lee would be in position for that.”
While exuding confidence and lining up his own matches, could the Hatton Promotions man be looking past South American dangerman Rafael Sosa Pintos, his next scheduled opponent?
“There’s no danger of me overlooking Pintos,” assured Macklin, “I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am now and the training’s been flat-out, just to stay on top of things. I’ve seen tapes of the Argentine, against Anthony Mundine, when he lost on points over 10 rounds and he has a very good defence, punches well to the body and fights like a typical South American. I’m on form at the moment and if I box to my potential I think I’d beat any of the world champions.
“Kelly Pavlik is number one, and rightfully so, but he’s pulling out of fights and I don’t think his head is in the right place. I’d love that fight and now would be the time to get Pavlik. The Pintos fight gives me the chance to box again in Ireland and after just four rounds in 12 months; I don’t want to stay idle.”
Prior to the Asikainen bout in September, Matthew was rumoured to be facing rising prospect Darren Barker. The Barnet man now meets Wayne Elcock on November 28 for the same British title that Macklin had so clinically removed from his fellow Brummie earlier this year. The West Midlands man weighs in with his opinions on how the fight will pan out:
“I think Elcock’s confidence is shot, as he hasn’t boxed since he fought me and it was a pretty devastating loss for him,” explained Macklin. “Barker is on a high, very sharp at present and I think he will stop Wayne early.”
“I don’t know if Barker’s still on my radar or not,” Macklin, rather disappointingly, added. “As I said before I need to get this mandatory out of the way first and the December bout with Pintos is the first thing on my mind before anything else. I have to fight Dmitriy Pirog, that’s mandated, and then I want a world title fight.”

 

What a shock my Ma just walked into the house and handed me a Postcard from Barcelona from 1992. I said why are you giving me a postcard from 92 read it. Looking at it the postcard was from Michael Carruth and all the boxing team involved at the games you had Paul Buttimer , Kevin McBride , Paul Douglas , Paul Griffin and Wayne McCullough all sign the card. She got it off her friend who is related to Michael Carruth I am over the moon with it. A Olympic Gold medalist a former World Champion and Olympic Silver medalist and a man who KO'd Tyson. I told my Ma to give it back to the woman but she said she was going to put it in the bin so its happy days.

 

It might be worth a few bob:hey
