Any other amateurs we should be looking out for lads? Anyone from your neck of the woods?

Fantastic! I never heard about that result - Counihan is with Chelmsley Wood ABC isn't he?

I am well out of touch with the amateur scene these days in all honesty.

What about Tommy Costello's kid brother? How is he coming on in the vest?

Always good to hear about young Brummies on the rise! :box:

Yeh joes a great talent doing well,Antonio is going from strength to strength beat Moylett in an England Ireland match,Then captained England at the Nia a few weeks ago.When his german opponent got sick they offered to fly moylett in for a rematch but the sent 20 year old Eamonn finnegan instead whod had a commonwealth silver and Counihan dropped him and beat him on points .Real quality kid who deserves all his success.

Antonio is with eastside his Dad and a few other guys opened the club about 10 months ago,very good club doing well.

I really looked forward to seeing his debut on the ITV4 Irish card late last year.

ITV, in their eternal wisdom, treated us to approximately 5 seconds of the fight :-?

Gutted.

When is he 18 so he can box in the UK?

Yeh, I couldn't believe that either - they had a great chance to hype a young prospect on his debut and bottled it.
As for when he's 18, I don't know to be honest mate.
