Boxing Thread

Hoping McCloskey wins but i have a feeling he will get knocked out in the 4th (well i backed that anyways)

Khan is a good boxer, and getting knocked out doesn't make you a bad boxer. Casey was cleaned out there recently and will be back hopefully better prepared.

Khan may underestimate Dudey but should have too much in his locker for him. Watched Dudey in M'felt last year and wasn't that impressed if i were honest.

Is McGuinness, Mickey Harte and Quigg going?

apparently pubs are not asllowed to show the fight apart from dungiven where mccloskey had it in his contract that all the pubs in dungiven get free coverage.
my local tried to book it but was told there is no comercial coverage so i expect any pub showing it have used there home box to book it and taken the box and connected it in the pub.

Will many pubs in Belfast have this? Does anyone know some that do for sure?

The bot is definitely showing it

As the fight edges closer I'm beginning to fear McCloskey could end up being embarassed with an early stoppage. A lot of people are saying Dudey has nothing to lose but it would be a major disappointment if he's out of there in the first 4 rounds. I can't see it going the distance but hopefully Dudey can hang in there until the latter stages of the fight.

Good man O'Neill - keep the links coming lads!

bigfrank · April 16, 2011, 08:12:37 PM

what time are they expected to fight?? heard they thought around 10pm...

CiKe · April 16, 2011, 08:15:40 PM

Just tuned in getting excited now, Duke Mckenzie talking about Khan on a different level (easy enough to make the argument to be fair given the opposition they have fought), but they talk about his amazing performance against Maidana. Amazing in that he was supposed to be the class act in the fight who would win every round against a slugger who would always be in with a punchers chance - yet he got more than he could ever have asked for and was very lucky. Revisionism of that victory after the fact has been massive!

ONeill · April 16, 2011, 08:17:48 PM

Khan in 4.

Feck i hope not, hope Dudey keeps his hands up a bit more. Still think if McCloskey doesn't find him out someone will. Maidana hit him all too easily.
