Post by slapbangwhallop »

If I am honest I really havent got a clue which way this one is going to go!

Thats usually makes for a cracking night.

How do you reckon it will go?

Im really looking forward to this one and really enjoyed their stint on the TV.

I cant pick a winner, but am leaning towards Willie a little.

If Paulie can survive the first 4/5 without getting tagged hard by Willie, I think the Dubliner can use the ring and pick Casey off on the counter. Since the fight has been announced I have had the picture in my head of Casey swinging wildly with Hyland counter punching and moving. Casey's stamina has not yet been tested where as Hyland has been the championship distance. Casey is waiting to be outboxed by a better technical boxer and I think Hyland could be that fella. Hyland close UD for me, bloody mouthwatering so it is!!

It was a cracker alright. It would be good if fighters got this sort of mainstream media coverage in Ireland and Britain

That Willie Casey really does seem a good lad; I've nothing against the other fella but I hope Casey keeps on going up the rankings.

Thanks for the link; Casey is very good to watch and I'm happy for him. Hope he gets to some big pay days; he seems unafraid to get in there.

We've all been caught out picking the wrong man (every other week for me) :witzend:
