Kal Yafai Beaten in Euros?

pro rata we are one of the most successful countries in the world!

 

Evans is good . irelands willie mcloughlin won today aswel and he beat evans 18-8 a month ago

 

yeah I was suprised by that 18-8 result. if they both win their quarters then they will meet again in the semis. hopefully evans can win this time

 

Dont worry when these lads turn over things will change . dont forget about 10 year ago there was **** all pro boxers in eire now we have numerous euro champs and world title challengers and them lads werent even that good as ams . the tide is changing slowly but surely

 

:dead yeah ok.

 

You wont be surprised when you see willie fight he is a class act . only man to beat current euro champ backsai last year was willie

 

backsai just got thumped by alexis vastines brother who evans beat earlier this year.

 

Ireland are class ın the ams, some awful pıcks though from England lot.

 

who would you have taken then? it looks like a full strength team apart from maybe saunders at 64.

 

Yafai is a good, good fighters. You have to remember he won silver at last years championships. That's a terrific win for Conlon.

Last time there was a webstream of the full event.
Is there no where you can watch these fights?

 

Harry did get robbed in the semis against the indian fighter. They were never going to allow a ****stani fighter beat an indian one in india. Bronze was always the most he was going to get with the corrupt judges you get in amateur boxing especially at the big events.

 

The Indian won very comfortably, you must have watched a different fight. He was very lucky to get the result against Selby IMO who is a far more skilled operator. Still though, it was a good achievement to get as far as he did as nobody gave him a chance.

 

+1

 

Is there any talk of Khan turning pro?

Saj will be busy :hey

 

I think its safe to conclude that Ireland is now the best amateur team in western Europe. Young Michael Conlon is an absolute star [and only 19], I expect big things from this kid in the ams and then the pros. BTW his brother Jamie is a rising star of the professional flyweight scene [6-0 4TKO] also. Expect Jamie to win the British or Commonwealth title in the near future.
