He definitely got robbed but Katie Taylor didn't. In Ireland everyone is going around saying Taylor got robbed. I'm not. ;-) Katie was well below her past best and didn't do enough to win. No one I've spoken to believes she deserved a win. Absolutely gutted for Conlan but I'm looking forward to see...

Conlon robbery was worse than the decision against Kenny Egan in 2008.

Duddy was great fun to watch and I'd have loved to see him fight Pavlik or Abraham, but he was definitely smart to get out when he did. With his style every fight was going to turn into a war for as long as it lasted. Early on he was getting guys out of there, but he didn't really have the power to...

Why would BJS be looking to gain more Irish fans?

Byrne up against it. He doesn't shy away from fight.
On a separate note why the fornicate have Boxrec listed Byrne as British

Lloyd Honeyghan banjoed Sylvester Mittee for his welterweight title in 1985, then Kirkland Laing finished Mittee in similar fashion. Thats three British champions in a row and not one of them from Britain or with any British blood in them! Dreary me! :TU: Chisora, Bayaar, Andries, Olusegun, Ochieng...

I can't see a hostile reception for Fury. Considering he had plenty of support for the Firtha fight at the King's Hall. He has family connections in Co. Antrim so it will be like a home fight for Fury having it in Belfast. Also Fury and Rogie are on good friendly terms at the moment and the fans kno...

Come on Slap, you know the crack. Rogie will defo take the Fury fight over Pulev. It would pack out the odyssey.

Yeah, the stop-start career of "Irish Lighting" continues. Hopefully it can be rearranged on a later show. He really does need a keep busy fight to stay on his toes in the meantime.

Dean Byrne's fight is cancelled :(
Was looking forward to that......

U Did Macklin have a higher work rate and throw more punches - yes But hitting arms elbows and gloves with 80 % of your shots does not win you a world title fight. Sturm won clearly with better quality and more effective punches, if anyone looked like they were about to get stopped it was Macklin. ...

He has said on numerous occasions that he fights for the Brum and for Ireland. He fights for both...........

macklin is a brummie in my eyes :!: i hate people tradin on ther parents decent. tough job for macklin. question is can he hold it together for 12?? He's a Brummie full-stop. Boxed for England as an amateur. Never lived in Ireland apart from a few summer holidays. Doubt he would be sold as Irish if...

Bin Laden shouldn't have being killed. By killing him in cold blood he only becomes a martyr and only leads to more people joining terrorist groups. He should have being captured and given to the The international criminal court in the Hague (He would most likely not get a fair trial in the US or Br...

I'll be heading to Köln for the fight . Hopefully the Tipp man can overcome the Sturm jab and win.

He was doing a bit of work in acting early on in the year.

The atmosphere at the MEN on saturday was fúcking epic. The place was dead for the whole undercard, with the exception of Martin Murray's band of fans. Murray's fans brought alot of colour and singing to the arena. They seemed like a good bunch. When Dudey entered the arena the roof nearly lifted. T...

McCloskey should avoid Bradley, Alexander and Maidana in the future, all of whom would stop him within 12 rounds...

Crease what's the point in boxing unless your willing to fight the best?????????

lets not forget that Khans only gave McCloskeys their tickets on the drip and they kept running out and a lot paniced and bought off ticketmaster. I would say there will be 7000 Irish fans between McCloskey, Murray, Kavanagh and Manc Irish, x2 The tickets weren't released for around ten days to McC...

I won't be boycotting. Got two tickets for myself and the girlfriend. Hopefully Dudey can somehow get the win. Looking forward to seeing young Kavanagh fighting

Macklin's a Brummie!!

Macklin v Sturm in the summer

Boxrec acting the fornicate, plain and simple
It wouldn't surprise me if Lee won a world title they would change his nationality to British
