    Maybe the most naturally talented amateur to come out of Ireland in years.

    3 time European gold medalist.
    World Youth champions.
    World Junior champions.
    2 time World Championship silver medalist.

    If he can stay on the straight and narrow and stay disciplined, he could be a huge star.
    He'll be trained by Buddy McGirt

    Awesome to hear. I really like Joe and think he could be a world champ. Same with the British kid Pat McCormack.

    Joe's the goods. Best Irish prospect in years.

    He does get really sloppy whenever frustration kicks in.

    Isn't he the lazy fellow? I seem to recall frustration at him not training/getting a bit fat, or am I completely raving?

    Experience should fix that.

    And if it doesn't we can expect some slugfests down the line

    Ya he isn't the best trainer or the fittest .
    He will struggle with 12 rounds but moving to the states could help. He will also have to be more disciplined to make 175
