    Hi guys, looking for a favour from those big into scoring fights.

    Back in December, two novice Irish pros Stephen McAfee [2(2)-0] and Colin O'Donovan [1(1)-1(1)] fought in a super featherweight six rounder at the National Stadium in Dublin.

    I was ringside (that's me on the apron right in the middle) for what was a memorable fight. The intensity just built and built up until the final round which was the consensus Irish Round of the Year.

    Wondering if anyone would be interested in watching the first fight back and scoring it. Would love to see an IB and/or CST80 RBR!

    Bit of background on the lads, McAfee is a former champion kickboxer and semi-pro (unlicensed) boxer. Scored two big KOs in his first two fights and was the touted home fighter here.

    O'Donovan has decent amateur pedigree but is quite eccentric and just loves to fight. Doesn't sell tickets, so has become an 'away fighter' and took this bout on seven day's notice.

    Thankfully, the two are rematching on March 24th. The first fight was third-last back in December but this next one will be a headliner at a smaller venue (Good Counsel GAA Club in Dublin). Pretty rare here to have two lads with a combined total of 6 fights headlining a bill, however small, but the first one really struck a chord with hardcore Irish fans.

    As you may have noticed, I have left out the result for those who want to watch the fight without knowledge of the verdict. For those that do, it is concealed below.

    58-58 Draw, which I personally would not argue

    10-9 McAfee close
    10-9 O'Donovan
    10-9 O'Donovan
    10-9 O'Donovan
    10-9 O'Donovan
    10-9 O'Donovan close

    Close but clear win for O'Donovan. 2-5 he schooled McAfee avoiding most of what the busier, more aggressive and cruder man threw and countering with much cleaner and harder shots. Thought he fooled around a bit too much in the last round which is the only reason why it was close. 58-56 or 59-55 for O'Donovan are both fair scores. a draw is a bit too kind for McAfee.

    Trying to get a bit of buzz going about this fight.

    A Gloves Are Off-style head-to-head was filmed and released today.

    Again, still eager to hear some more scores from the first fight - and even predictions for this Saturday.

    Nah. Card was more than fair. O'Donovan landed the cleaner and crisper shots. McAfee won 2 rounds tops.

    It's okay, didn't expect a six-rounder between two novices on an Irish undercard would be high on our list of priorities.
