Press Conference today at 12.30

Just to announce that a press conference will be taking place today 18/8/10 at 12.30 in Derry to announce Paul McCloskey's next defence of his european light-welterweight title

His opponent will be Motherwell Scotland's Barry Morrison. The fight will take place in Derry on October 2nd. Any ideas or opinions on how this one will go , both talented both tough both looking to progress their careers.

I was originally leaving this announcement to "Maka" as he is the usual spokesperson for the Morrison household, however thought I would "Step in" as it appeared he was going to take too long and I wanted everyone at ESB to get "An exclusive" :deal

Think they may have made the wrong choice in relation to an "easy fight" think there would have been lots "easier" out there - can you please just point out what you mean and how much you have seen of Barry Morrison ?
I have seen almost all of his bouts since his first amateur fight and I can't ever recall anyone thinking that he was "easy". He is a fully committed individual who would be hard work for most light-welters out there - think you were being quite disrespectful,:nono however everone is entitled to their opinion.

Cheers Billy - neither will I -trust me . Thanks - like the look of you gym in one of the earlier threads- Barry enjoys visiting - I may come with him sometime to look around and watch the sparring - Best of luck with Ricky - I might make the fight if Barry buys the tickets ha ha - anyway good luck.

Don't be such an immature knob. whilst I appreciate everyone is entitled to an opinion I do not understand where you are coming from - "doesn't deserve a European Title Shot" why ????. He has been working consistently at a high level and could have achieved much more if circumstances were slightly different. I am not here to make excuses, however I firmly believe he has worked his own way into the frame and that he has as much chance as anyone else in Britain at this time.

You will have to work on your sarcasm, as the initial statement just makes you sound like a complete tosser - as for the mismatch statement - this may well turn out to be true however based upon you watching four fights is a **** poor assumption to make and may come back to haunt you.

Good Luck with prediction - please do not sell yourself short with underestimating the opponent:hi: I'm sure mr McCloskey won't be doing that.
