That's a good win for Paddy Donovan that. The Argentine chap was game and looked dangerous but in the end Donovan was too quick and precise.

If Crocker can get the job done in the main event, it might set up a cracking scrap between the two at welterweight.

St Brigid's be kicking themselves. Glen not at their best today but punished some stupid mistakes at the wrong times from St Brigid's.

Conor Glass in terrific form as Derry gear up for another potentially big 2024.

Quote from: square_ball on December 03, 2023, 10:45:35 AMMcKenna announces his retirement this morning and be very surprised if Conlan didn't follow suit at some stage.

Is there many Irish boxers that could fill a potential undercard for a Croke Park fight for Taylor?

Lewis Crocker?

Callum Walsh has gained a strong following in the US by being backed by Dana White.

Correct stoppage. Conlan didn't even complain, he was mentally checked out.

Only a matter of time before that happened. Don't think Gill is anything special but Conlan just hasn't taken the jump from Amateur to Pro well.

He's done well to survive 4 rounds tbh. Looked very unsteady too many times.

I thought the Mexican finished his career the last time tbh. That was a brutal knockout.

At some stage, you can't blame the trainers. Conlan is fairly chinny unfortunately.

Walsh, on his day, is the best footballer in the country. Yes, better than Clifford. He has everything.

Carthy should seen the line, had at least 2 yellow card and black card tackles alone, couldn't blame, Clifford, though playing poor he should still scored 6 from play. the other players round him have to stand up, P Clifford played well but struggled late on. Alot of players on both teams played bad, Fenton was poor again, Alot of Dublin lesser lights played well. Dessie Farrell a likable sort of guy who took some crap past 2 yrs so it good to see he come back. It be interesting to see if they go another year or will there be mass retirements after one last shot.First Team in over 20yrs to win from Division 2.They not bring that nugget up.

Have to disagree re Fenton. He was superb. Kicked some fine scores and his defending beat the end was solid.

Gough reffed it badly but still felt the better team came out on top.

If Con O'Callaghan had played last season, this Kerry outfit would be still sitting on 0 AI's.

If this final doesn't push the GAA to make rule changes to this sport then it's dying a slow death.

It's a pity that this is the showpiece event for anyone new watching the sport..

"I'm going to keep trying until I get there and I believe I will."

Michael Conlan is confident he will become a world champion and will keep fighting until he has a belt around his waist.

Quicker getting a belt around his mouth

His best chance would be if Leigh Wood opted to give him a rematch. Conlan is still a big name so maybe a chance.

If he gets in the ring with that Mexican again, his career will come to a very ugly conclusion.

Dubs will handle Ciarraí in the AIF -- the Muckers have shown the way.

Agreed. Fenton, Kilkenny, McCarthy all have at least one more massive performance left in them on the big stage. Dubs by 3

Stephen O'Brien's impact off the bench a game changer. Does he start the next day or come on at HT again?
