Matthew Macklin v Rafael Sosa Pintos - weigh-in now online

[steve689]

Macklin had a tough enough time of it. The left eye cut means a February date with Pirog is unlikely.

He's poor no doubt.

Well to change form I'll add that I was most impressed by Hyland and Fitzgerald last night

Taggart and Fitzgerald have a common opponant.

Those fights tell you all you need to know brother.

Hyland is a right cocky Dub isnt he. Think he is Money Mayweather. Breath of fresh air and I enjoyed the fight! Loves to load up with the right although it was a bit obvious.

Too bad he'll have to settle for Pavlik in New York for Paddy's day now...

please, please, please, please, please!!

What was Andy Murray's performance like? Couldn't get to see it. I know he was coming back from injury but thought he would have showed up well against a weak opponent...

What was Andy Murray's performance like? Couldn't get to see it. I know he was coming back from injury but thought he would have showed up well against a weak opponent...

On the undercard Andrew Murray 17 (8 ) - 0 carved out a solid win over game Ecuadorian Alex Bone after six competitive rounds of boxing.

Bone took the fight to the Cavanman impressing himself on the outstanding former amateur champion by working on the inside and roughing up the man from the Breen Gym.

The first two even rounds were relatively even but Murray began to take control in the third using his superior technical ability and employing uppercut to good effect. But an usually sloppy defence meant Murray was continually tagged with ease when he failed to keep his distance from the battling Bone.

A rusty Murray, on his comeback after a lay off following a broken collar bone, continued walking into Bone’s crude hooks and overhand rights until the final bell rang but deserved his 58-56 points victory.

Murray explained that Bone was “hard and durable and hard to catch clean” and that with he was glad to have six rounds under the belt following his injury and that he would be back with a better performance in his next outing.
