Interesting match on the Fight Skool bill

Next Thursday's Fight Skool bill topped by Thomas McDonagh versus Bradley Pryce, features a cracking-looking match between Kevin O'Hara and Anyetei Laryea of Ghana. Laryea, some of you may recall, is a man I cited as a decent comeback opponent for Naz. He took Nicky Cook 12 tough rounds at York Hall last year in a Commonwealth title stab.

Yes, very good match it might even be a bit of a too big a step up at this stage (from what he's been used to fighting).

Yeah what a great promoter/Manager Frank is,Bradley Pryce was the WBO Intercont lightweight Champ and also WBC Lightwelterweight Champ after beating Gavin Down.Never lost a fight until some bright spark decided to put him in With Ted Bami in front of Pryces home fans.

So now we see him matched 3 weights above his original division against Tommy Mac I think Andy Ayling must have made this match even Dean Powell isnt that heartless,looks like he has become the stunt double for Ojay taking over where he left off.
Seems the boys from SN are throwing him to the wolves,I suppose its easier than actually having to promote him properly get him back to his proper weight,but that would require a bit of work.Seems all Enzo cares about is our Joe.

I had a feeling they were doing the same to Steve Murray to see what he has left

Be prepared to see a lot more downsizing over the next few shows the FW promotes.After all Nobbys men can only stretch so far.

Seems the eastern block connection has disapeared Frank is struggling to make fights......so why not fight each other.

So O'Hara got beat then. Was anyone at the fight?

I wasn't there, but I heard that O'Hara was very passive and John Breen was none to happy at the end of the fight!

Kilburn, are you at the York Hall tonight? If so, I'll be in the press section, be good to meet up.

Sorry Kev have to be somewhere else tonight. Shame, would've liked to have seen Castle & co again, you're guaranteed some good fight action with those guys.

Spoke to Eugene last night and he's had opponents pull out on him. Don't want to ring him today as he'll be a bit stressed finding replacements.

Yes they sounded stressed when I rang this morning
