Just saw Sean Duffy from Keady come in to the ring behind the Loyalist Banner with a tricolour tattooed on his arm!

Duffy and McGlinchey both got their pans knocked in.

all in all though, a slightly better achievement than your post

Tis the vernacular round our way.

Interesting there in the British Empire Games.  In his semi final Michael Conlan was stopped in the 2nd round due to a bad cut but because it was caused by a clash of heads and Conlan was ahead on the judges cards at the time, he goes through to the final.  The amateurs have stopped wearing headguards.

Paddy Barnes has said that it's harder to win the National Championships than win a medal at the Empire Games. At least we think that's what he said.

Lol

Actually one fight it might be worth seeing will be between Olympic champion Nicola Adams of England and our wee Michaela Walsh for the gold medal in the flyweight division.  Walsh has been tipped to be the next big thing in women's boxing.  I think that final is tomorrow afternoon (not sure)

Assume at these games you cant face someone from your own country in the boxing??

At a guess most countries only take one fighter per weight??

When did amateurs stop wearing headguards incidentally?

Walsh slightly robbed? 

[Club Rossa]

Thought Walsh boxed very well there and was in no way out of her depth.That arsehole of a commentator could only see one boxer in that fight.

[glens abu]

Yeah agree with that,thought she fought well and it was very close but that commentary was unbelievablely  biased

[Don Johnson]

What is the craic with these Briggs and Klitschko videos? Staged?

[SHEEDY]

thought Michaela walsh boxed very well and can count herself unlucky. she was obviously disappointed but can hold her head high. agree about the commentators, unbelievably biased.

[tyroneboi]

Yeah and reading the sky sports report it said Adams was 'a class apart' and 'too classy' for Walsh and couldn't believe it was a split decision. Not sure they were watching the same fight.

Barnes looking good for gold here.
