Wayne Alexander vs Thomas Mcdonagh
Looks like Wayne Alexander is defending his WBU strap against Thomas Mcdonagh in March.
How do you lot see this fight going?
I think it will be an intriguing fight: Mcdonagh has the boxing skills to out-box Alexander, but Alexander has the punch to spark out Mcdonagh at any time.
I'll be rooting for Alexander-nothing against Stormboy, but I just want Alexander to win this one.

Storm Boy is the most inappropriate nickname in British boxing - and that includes Johnny Nelson. He's no puncher and he's about as hurricane-like as a cup of Horlicks. Dean Walker gave him nightmares.TerribleTerry wrote:McDonagh is real slick and with such a dangerous foe in front of him , it should concentrate his sometimes waryward mind.
I reckon the Storm Boy could make Wayne look foolish if he boxes to his capabilities.
Hasn't impressed me one bit and has a record that would make a Danish prospect blush. Perhaps the most deceptive log in the game.

Brian Hughes always paints McDonagh as a wayward genius - the kind of fighter who can do it all in the gym but doesn't often show his capabilities come fight night.Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:Storm Boy is the most inappropriate nickname in British boxing - and that includes Johnny Nelson.

I agree he lacks power, strength and application but I do think he has the boxing skills; submerged somewhere behind his clowning and mugging for the cameras.
This is the ultimate step up fight for him against a grizzled, explosive puncher - I really do think his long, loose-limbed-style will cause Alexander all sorts of grief. I just hope he can keep his chin tucked out of danger!
