Whilst probably dismissed by some as a poor man's Gatti Vs Ward, i can not help but think that even a poor man in attendance might feel quite affluent after watching these expected fireworks. Forget Genes Late Career Welterweight brief excursion, As Jr Welters this pits two tough hard punching Hombres..with no reverse gear... Neary of course came off second best in a ferocious effort against Irish Mickey Ward with Mickey's cultured world class left hook making all the difference..Gene probably brings the Power and commitment if not Wards Portside Technique, He did Hound and Pound Johnny Bumphus to get his Hands on a world Title, Shea come through a night of Merseyside Mayhem to beat Andy Holligan in a thrilling war, Neither Shea or Gene like Movers..and they dont get that here...apart from Forward. A Bone of Contention.. Can Gene derail the Shamrock Express or does Shea put down Mad Dog Gene ?
Flea Man - You could be right...but the Rent Money would be staying firmly in the Pocket on this one !! Regards Area
