Tony Doherty is more Irish than Welsh, he's a good prospect.

Of course there is Ben Dunne aswell.

Lidsay's had three fights, 3 wins 2 ko's but the boxing press are calling him the new McGuigan.
early days but he has class all over him.

Dunne could just be a bit of a hype job, he has not set anything alight thus far.

Dunne is now based in Ireland.

Dunne was terrible in his last fight anyway. He won a controversial 96-94 decision against Yuri Voronin, a guy who was shut out 100-90 by Mzonke Fana who was then easily KO'd in 2 rounds by Barrera.

Yup I was always suspicious of Dunne who was in fairness a very good amateur but he just doesnt look to have anything to threaten the best in the pro ranks

funnily enough rory ive been impressed with a guy with the same name as you a Paul McCloskey he only had two fights but he 's got some nice moves and is cool under pressure, good to watch.

Rory McCloskey · Post by **Rory McCloskey** » 20 Jul 2005, 17:35

haah alright maybe he can carry the name to greatness.

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 20 Jul 2005, 17:58

stu, beat me to it, docherty is a worthy irish prospect.

What about Matthew Macklin? Isn't he supposed to be Irish, or of Irish stock? He's fighting in the USA sometime soon, I think.
