good opportunity for tommy to show us how he's better than jai, right brillo

not a bad fight though tbf, was just wondering what tommy was up to

[SeanBrennan]

I'll watch this. Does anyone know if this is televised? Be a good achievement if Mccarthy becomes a 2x European champion. I'd love the Euro title to become revered again, it's so much better than all these fringe intercontinental jobbies, and the IBO imo. Do we think Cieslak has much left at 34? Although Tommy not too much younger.

cieslak is at his peak

Fight Week!!

[SeanBrennan]

looking forward to this, I do like Mccarthy, was hoping he'd keep hold of EBU belt, such an underrated belt.

McCarthy isn't good. Cieslak should KO him in the first 2-3 rounds I'd imagine.

Anyone know if this fight is happening. Still on Bet365, but not on BoxRec.

[SeanBrennan]

no worries at all.

I thought Tommy was going to be sensational after the jon lewis dickinson fight, couldnt believe he got beat by matty askin.

I think he's had a decent career considering the losses, record littered with decent wins, couple of belts. Up against it here, but best of luck to him as he's kept going.

By hook or by crook, this has to be a win for Cieslak. They're not bringing Tommy all the way to Poland for him to win.

It's on Polish tv, so there'll be a stream somewhere at 9:30ish. Should be a good fight. Cieslak has only lost to top guys and hopefully Tommy has enough left to make a real go of it. To win, he'll need to beat Cieslak to the punch and outwork him.

I was visiting family and it was finished before I could find a stream. Shame Tommy couldn't get any more out of it. I'll go to my grave thinking he underachieved as a pro.

Aye, 33 now. Was a very good youth amateur. Wonder how much, if anything is left from hereon.

He’s been podcasting and doing his stand up comedy shows a LOT lately, I think he’s not as dedicated as he was. Immensely likeable fella and feel it’s been a bit of a shame like, could’ve got more out of his career. Tyrone McKenna fighting soon as well

I read he did comedy, is he any good? Good lad if he's pursuing multiple aims, does smack of boxing not being stellar priority though.
