Michael maguire

  1. I see he is in action this weekend

    Will he ever fulfill the high expectations everyone had when he turned over,I remember watching his 'comeback' bout where he lost and it was so frustrating first 3 rounds he shows all his talent and then got walked down probaly due to inactivity
    It's criminal how his pro career has been wasted,he has only fought 4 rounders against journeymen bar that one loss


    What's posters opinions on him,I'd love to see him get a run of fights and go for a British title and with him being a super bantam he would be a great addition to a hot domestic division but I think it's unlikely going on his past history

    Very talented fighter, but lacks the dedication required to get to the top. His cousin Terry Holmes is super talented also but again lacks dedication and focus.

    Michael is a talented boxer but as already said perhaps his dedication in the past may of not been the best . lets hope he can really kick on in the sport now

    A colleague of mine who uses the same gym mentioned he is an absolute pain in the aris.

    A Blsck personal trainer was using the ring for a class when he wanted to use it so he starts calling the guy a ****** and saying how he would knock the **** out.

    Then goes on Facebook saying how everyone in peterborough is clueless and twats basically.

    And now he is in the paper saying how he wants the whole of peterborough to support him.

    Fair to say I won't be buying tickets for one of his shows.

    Starred out work is about the most racist thing you could say about a black person.

    I remember him being touted for london olympics a few years bk in the abas and david haye was ringside coz he wanted him for hayemaker which ended up happening but Luke campbell who was underdog gave him a boxing lesson

    He was smoking when he was 15/16 when he was smashing his way through people. Never been dedicated as he should be. Lads talented but talent is only a small part of the sport when your not training as hard as you should be etc.

    Iv got a video of the fight here to be honest he came on strong in the last coz he waa desperate just like weaver in the last when he boxed campbell but i dont think anything took its toll on him he seemed very comfotable throughout

    Haven't seen the Campbell fight but maguire does shoot to the body very well
