Zach Parker vs. John Ryder & Mohammed Hamzah Sheeraz vs. River Wilson-Bent RBR.

I thought it was a very decent card, which sadly ended with a massive anti climax, just when the fight was warming up as well.

I had Zac winning when it was stopped, he was boxing well on the outside, although Ryder was closing the gaps and won the 4th round with some good pressure and spiteful looking shots. It was just shaping up to be a interesting fight..

 

Enjoyed the card as a few people have said. Not the ideal finish. The way Parker was keen to show everyone his hand was a bit ‘the lady doth protest too much’ for me.

 

While waiting for a coffee here in Dublin City centre on Friday morning. I noticed a young fighter standing in the queue, it was pierce o'leary, I had a small chat with the lad, seems a nice kid.

I shook his hand and wished him luck. What struck me was the size of his ****ing hands. Im 6'2 and work in construction, so I've big hands, the lad was no more than 5ft 6. And his hands where ****ing huge.

No wonder these guys beat people up for a living, they're genetic freaks with clubs for hands. Unlike us mere mortals

 

All his interviews he seems a nice lad. Did he say when he's next out?

Think he said he wants to win the Irish title next

 

I talked to him for about 2 minutes while waiting for coffee, so didn't ask much. Actually talked a little about life in London, which he said he's really enjoying.

Funnily enough, while driving into work that morning, I was listening to the Robin Reid podcast with tris dixon and Reid was going on how he'd often have to talk to fans for hours and how sometimes he'd love to let alone.

So I was actually in two minds whether to talk to him or not.

But he seemed a real nice lad, even ordering his coffee. He had good manners, please, thank you. Which in modern life is missing far too often.

But he's only back in Dublin for Christmas anyway, then back over to London next week he was saying.

 

Yep manners is something all can be judged equally on!

Yeah that's true, never want to intrude on someone
