Sorry to sound so shallow after the cruiserweight fight/result but does anyone know the song that Matt Macklin did his ringwalk to?

Rocky road to dublin! That was a class song for a ring entrance. Myself and the girlfriend did a bit of a jig and a reel when it was being played. we were in block J directly beside the ring walk. Everybody was cheering as we danced, me in my tipperary jersey and the girlfriend in her Republic of ireland jersey. Great fun :D

I'll have a listen to it tonight and see if I can make it out.

100's of people have recorded the song - The Cheiftains with the Rolling Stones, Luke Kelly, Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey etc

It sounded traditional so I doubt it was Dropkicks

Dropkicks sing their version at a 100 miles per hour.
