Frampton knocked him down with a clinker. He stayed on one knee, winked at his corner, smiled at Frampton and seemed OK to continue. The ref counted 6....7....8...10. He jumped up at 10 to say what the feck.

Aye back from fight. We all said same thing. Very strange but in fairness i think Carl would have won out. Started really well and kept up pressure. Seems I might be off to Vegas if this continues.

Impossible to say so early.

How were the afters MR? I went to a fight in the Kings Hall a few years back and it was complete madness inside and outside afterwards! Lads fighting all over the shop!

The atmosphere looked amazing - great to see in Belfast!

[Milltown Row2]

Its always simmering but last night nothing kicked off and it was a great atmosphere.

Yes O'Neil impossible to say. He could have lost. Or he could have won. He'd be fit to give him a rematch but can't see it happening. The lads done well and hopefully this leads to a shot at a title soon.

Boxer John Joe Nevin Nevin suffers broken leg in Mullingar assault

big enzos corner pulled him out after the fifth round with a ba eye, suspected broken eye socket/cheekbone. took heart to fight like for four rounds. this will prob be the end for him now.

That John Joe Nevin story is a terrible shame. We lost the brilliant Darren Sutherland in tragic circumstances and now John Joe's career might be over. It'll take some coming back from. Such a pity.

Goes in to act as mediator in a family dispute and get his leg broken (badly) by two of his cousins!
Chap should get the feck away from Mulligar and never come back.

Advice to live your life by.

In fairness to Mullingar, there's a long running series of feuds with Traveller families, and that's the side effect. We can all sneer and laugh at the videos on You Tube about the Joyces and the Nevins etc (which wasn't this feud I believe) but this is real life.

These two boxers gave Carl Frampton so much hassle (boxing terms) while they were all amateurs and could have made the grade at pro level. Sad

Hopefully John Joe recovers quickly. Really classy boxer who has plenty of potential to become a world class boxer at the professional level. Would be better off if he moved permanently away from Ireland so he can rid himself of people like those who did this to him.

Always came across as a decent lad in interviews, you'd think fellow Travellers would have some sense with regards someone who has represented his community and his country so well, but it seems like these petty, childish feuds are the only thing that elicits passion from a significant minority of the population.

This is very much an Irish thing though. Some of us hate to see a fella lose the run of himself by being successful and the like.
