Good stuff. I read somewhere that our biggest medal haul in the Euros previously was four back in 1961. Would be brilliant to top that.

Got a good crop of boxers in the Ams... and there are probably a couple of glaring omissions judging from the recent ABAs.

Good luck to the rest of the boys.

ABA's don't really count for much now when it comes to the internationals and GB squad.

Aye I know, what I mean is the talent is there (could have just worded it better).

Weaver is class with a great style - got to be a strong contender for a 2012 medal...

Dont forget Los San Patricos have 7 out of 8 fighters through to the Quarter Finals.

Gamal Yafai v JJ Nevin and Tommy Stubbs v Paddy Barnes in the next round.

I predict that they will go the same way that Ogogo did against O'Neill with 3 possibly 4 of our guys going into the semis.

IRELAND WIN THREE BRONZE IN MOSCOW

Ireland's boxers claimed thee bronze medals - at least - from a day of pulsating quarter final action at the 2010 European Senior Championships in Moscow.

Ken Egan, Darren O'Neill and the new kid on the block, Tyrone McCullagh are all guaranteed podium positions at the Ice Palace.

Both boxers were tied at 6-6 going down the final stretch, but O'Neill, the current European Union champ, snatched victory from the jaws of a count-back with a tremendous right in the final two seconds

Egan, meanwhile, added to his impressive CV with a 7-4 win over Ainar Karlson, a kick boxing specialist in his native Estonia. Egan boxed well within himself in this light-heavyweight clash to add the the European bronze he won in Bulgaria in 2006.

Good stuff from the Irish elite boxers.

Never seen McCullough box but he will need to be a class act to get past Weaver - the Englishman is my favourite domestic am of the moment...

supposedly McCullugh shouldnt have got the nod today (I didnt expect him to to be honest) so he is up against it with Weaver alright.
