Fair play to the bould Michael for stepping up and travelling to France for his shot!

Sweeney doesn't seem to mind doing the bit of travelling for a fight and this is a great opportunity at such an early stage of his career. I take it from the footage you have seen of the opponent, Slap, you havn't quite taken to him? "Despite having less charm then a cross between Tim Henman and Victoria Beckham, Mohammedi does possess no little amount of pugilistic skills"

Fair play to him and best of luck.

I've watched most of his fights on YouTube - he gets me more and more riled the more a see of him.

There isn't the cocky humorous edge to him that say a Naz had - its just pure arrogance. Horrible creature.

In true Kevin Keegan stylee - I would love it if we go there and better them, just love it!

I'm thinking of heading over to it with Lee Murtagh to give Sweeney a bit of support, I'd say we will be the only two Paddies is the shop.
