[slapbangwhallop]

please tell me wan a ye smart shiites in the 26 has the nouse and capability of gettin dat fight up onta youtube!?!

[NaFianna]

Why would Setanta have it listed and not show the thing- f@cking ridiculous. Anyone know if it will be shown at all?

[Jared Brasher]

I heard these are now the times for the FAGAN V HYLAND fight on Steanta Ireland. Saturday morning at 7am and Sunday at 11am, 6pm and 8pm. Weird times but can someone put them on youtube after, bec I am in the US and wanna see this badly- heard it was an incredible fight. I saw Fagan fight in Tulsa with 4 broken bones in his face one night and still keep ploughing forward with half his head caved in. The kid is incredibly F*CKIN TOUGH!!!

[steve689]

If I can get it recorded then I'll either attempt to put it on YouTube or Megaupload. I'm pretty computer-illeterate though so no promises!

[NaFianna]

Well, once its on, then Ill be happy. These two lads need the exposure for the war they had and deserve it thoroughly. LIke someone said, they made the Irish version of 'Gatti-Ward' and they should reap all the benefits from such a fantastic performance. I hope a big promoter comes in to give them a decent purse for a rematch on a bigger stage.

Well didnt the West Virginia Commision "lose" the tape of Fagan fight after he battered Kimbrough around and still lost on a split decision!

I can't wait to see it on HYLAND V FAGAN on SETANTA.

By the way, did anyone ever find that FAGAN V KIMBROUGH fight? Its gotta be out there somewhere. Can't believe Kimbrough people got away with that. After seeing fagan's guts the other night, I am a big fan now. I used not to like him because of his Irish Republican sh*t, on his robe, but I guess he's the real deal after seein the guy live. Tough boyo- thats for sure.

Hyland is a good little fighter too, but I didnt think he beat Fagan- I thought a draw or maybe one round in it at most. Some of the scores were outrageous.

It sounds a great fight but when you see the judges scores you would think it was one sided.. :??

[steve689]

It sounds weird but even though all rounds were close and competetive, Hyland was a clear winner if that makes sense. I think I totalled 117-114 or something like that and most "benefit of the doubt" rounds went to Fagan, so in theory I could have scored it wide too.

Hyland adapted well and outboxed Oisin at times in the mid-rounds; Paddy Hyland admitted yesterday that Phil Sutcliffe had expected Eddie to fade down the stretch (as I did) but he lasted the pace well.

There is plenty left for Fagan to achieve - he gave his all and whipped himself into fantastic shape. Considering he had virtually no amateur career and has always been a part-time pro he has achieved an awful lot of respect in his career. The professionalism he showed getting down to a weight he had never previously competed at -at 35 years-old- was commendable.

You were right regarding Kimborough as well, apparently the casino lost the fight tape.

Setanta are absolute dirt, I just cancelled my subscripton. They had listed the fight to be on last Tuesday and Wednesday but when I went out of my way to watch it I was greeted with crappy motor racing. Lets all hope the new ESPN channel will show a bit of boxing, maybe even get a Buncey type show on it!!Please godddddd!

[steve689]

I'm told that coverage is moved to August 7th now Can we believe anything we hear though regarding this show?

enjoy

I'm trying my best to get them up on YouTube as quickly and efficiently as possible! So far, I have up to round 8 on but round 7 is off due to a fornicate up with adverts. I'll try and get the other rounds up later and/or upload it split into two parts on Megaupload or something.

The show quickly appeared on Setanta last night so I hit record as fast as I could. It doesn't quite seem as good on TV as it was live but still a cracking scrap

Just shows how the atmosphere of the live crowd bigs up a fight because that looks nothing like the good old fashioned tear up I've been reading about.. Not saying it doesn't look a good fight mind

[steve689]

You're right mate, it does seem a bit underwhelming from what I remembered....and wrote about! After the fight the American manager Tom Moran even came into Hyland's dressing room during interviews and said things like, "This was the Irish Gatti-Ward...this fight will go down in history" etc. And at the the time it genuinely felt that good.

Looking back maybe not, but nice to hear doing a turn on commentary. The final parts are uploading on YouTube at the moment. I live out in the sticks so my internet connection is slow. Be patient boxing brothers

from what I have seen s far it looks like a good scrap but certainly no "Ward Gatti" - maybe the final installment will shed more light and be more exciting.
