Yeah i should have looked at your location. Your obviously Irish or of Irish decent ?
BTW Murray won by an early stoppage. Its great to see Murray back again and hes out again on the Dunne under card . After a few stylish wins he will be noticed in Europe. He is a lovely well schooled boxer imo but it remains to be seen if he can hack it with Europes elite.

I was there, results are up at BBN. Ringside report to follow on a good night's action with all wins for the home fighters

[nzboy]

get your facts right he stopped him in the 3rd round.

celtic title next for stephen then the british no stopping him now

[steve689]

Yes Haughian stopped Walsh in the third round. Two of the other bouts ended in the third (Murray and O'Hara) and one in the second (Kelly).

[IrishPaddy]

Good to see Kelly back. Hope he can make something of his Pro career now, after losing the last few years.

Good boxer. Maybe just lacks that KO punch.

Here is link to the haughian fight just go down an click on the picture of haughian. In the bottom right hand corner. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/norther ... efault.stm. I cant access it in the south im not sure about england but try any way

[ApolloCreed]

How old is Walsh? Surely he's a bit past it or am I way off there?

I hear Murray boxed very well giving away almost a stone to Wyatt??

[steve689]

Yes Murray boxed well and loaded up more fir power shots than I had seen from him before. Walsh is 35 I think or maybe even 36 but was in fabulous condition but Haughian's smooth boxing and grit pulled him through.

Walsh never really held the title anyway, Jamesy gorman KO'ed him in last seconds of the 10th when they fought in Cork last year but the round was stopped early. I have the KO pics and DVD to prove this

Murray fought Gorman for another Irish title in the Kings Hall in Dec 2007 and the fight was stopped on a dodgy cut in the 4th with it going to points as they said the cut was opend by a head clash. The video is on youtube so you can see the punch that split Murray.
