    the Three lads are fighting in cork april 25th

    there hasnt been alot of good footage of alexi and luis available

    and the footage of mike thats decent is nearly a year old at this stage.

    the whole card will be on go fight live as a ppv
    http://www.gofightlive.tv/showEvent.do?event=401

    doesnt seem to be pricing on it yet but i got a ppv from boston just after paddys day and it was 5 dollars so its cheap enough.


    did anyone get a chance to see the lads in newcastle last month?

    Would have went my self up I was over in the states

    Ya I was in Newcastle for it [YT]Fd2KLOvV2nw[/YT]
    There's some of Garcia's fight, he was very very impressive, as was Alexei but Alexei was in against a much lower class of fighter to Garcia.

    Mike was a bit disappointing, but he was in against a spoiler.

    3 Very good boxers but it will be interesting to see how far they go. Are they will that Geordie off tv?

    Yeah theyre being trained by Glenn McCrory

    I expect them to be in the states by the end of the year though

    No idea why I forgot his name. Yep they could be off soon so we should make good use of them while we can. Perez seems to be impressing people in training but his fights are less than impressive. The rest look very good but against poor opponents.

    Garica looks great, I'm excited by him and Acosta especially. Cuba has some awesome talent with these guys, Gamboa, Lara, Rigondeaux. Frightening the ability that comes out of that small place.

    Sadly I doubt if the Brits will be able to claim these jems for much longer.

    Garcia looks great at this stage, considering he's still technically a novice pro. Nice and relaxed, good balance, good footwork and that natural confidence in his movement and punching that you can't teach. Reminds me of Gamboa in the way that he moves.

    Yeah Luis is my favourite out of the three.

    Big mike fights to the level of his opponent unfortunately he can really be awesome though.

    Im actually a big fan of power! he was out on his feat last time i saw him! kept going and wrestled back control of the fight and knocked his opponent down. It was great stuff real value for money stuff when the cubans had been getting early knock outs jamie saved the show! Hes been putting alot of work into his boxing unfortunately he only had a weeks notice last time and it wasnt too long after christmas. But my little brother always see's him in the gym down in limerick.

    Power seems like a great guy, he's not very skilled and isn't going to go anywhere in the game but he'll fight his heart out, is exciting as hell and seems like a nice guy too.

    Saw him down in Cork last year(where he entertained as usual),and then saw him in a Supermacs on my way back to Tipp :lol:, seems like a genuinely nice guy.
