HASKINS SAILING INTO STORMY WATERS IN BELFAST

IBF champ heading to Belfast on the ferry today

SAN DIEGO (Јуни 7, 2017) –Ли Haskins gets over his first major hurdle in defending his IBF Bantamweight title against Ryan Burnett in Belfast on Саботаby taking the ferry today due to his fear of flying.
Haskins puts his crown on the line for the third time at the SSE Arena Belfast, во живо на АWEA A Wealth of Entertainment на 3 ЕТ / 12 Премиерот Пладневни Португалија and the Bristolian knows he’s in for a hostile reception as he tries to hand Burnett his first pro defeat in front of the passionate Belfast fans.
‘Playboysays that the hometown support won’t be a problem as it’s nothing he hasn’t experienced beforebut knows the fight will be far from plain sailing against the unbeaten hometown star.
I’m not the greatest on planes so we chose to get the ferry over,” said Haskins. “My family and I decided to go a bit earlier and make more of a trip about it.
It’s not too far so it gives me and the kids a bit of time to catch-up and it’s something different, rather than just jumping off a plane straight into the hotel. Now we get to have a little detour and have a little adventure.
It’s going to be a hostile crowd but truthfully it doesn’t bother me. I’ve boxed away time and time again so I know what’s coming. I’ve boxed in Monaco, Belgium and Morocco and in plenty of backyards in the UK. It doesn’t bother me, a ring is a ring.
I hope the Belfast fans don’t give me too much of a hard time! I’m really looking forward to fighting in front of such a knowledgeable crowd and of course to my own fans, I’m always grateful for your continued backing.
I am very excitedI’m more excited for this one than I have been for a long, долго време. I’m happy and content going into this fight and I’m looking forward to visiting Belfast.

TENNYSON FACES DOYLE FOR WBA INTERNATIONAL STRAP

Belfast ace welcomes Manchester man во саботата ноќ

SAN DIEGO (Јуни 6, 2017) James Tennyson feels he’s above domestic leveland says he’ll prove that on Saturday кога тој се соочува Ryan Doyle for the WBA International Super-Featherweight title at the SSE Arena Belfast, во живо на AWE- Богатство од Забава на 3 ЕТ / 12 Премиерот Португалија.
Tennyson’s clash with Doyle is part of a huge night of action in Belfast as Ryan Burnett challenges Lee Haskins for the IBF World Bantamweight title.
Tennyson has won Celtic Featherweight and Irish Super-Featherweight titles but fell short when he met Ryan Walsh for the British Featherweight crown last April.
На 23 year old believes he’s better prepared for more title assaults now, and wants to show that in what he believes will be a cracking fight against the English Featherweight champion from Manchester.
“Јас сум многу возбуден, said Tennyson. “I’m pleased to be a part of the show and hopefully Ryan Burnett becomes Ireland’s next World Champion and these big nights can continue to come back to Belfast.
I believe I’m beyond Irish title level. I’m not going to gain or learn much more at that level or by boxing journeyman. I’ve gone through that now. This is a fight that I needed and help bring my career to the next level.
I’ve watched Ryan and this is going to be a really entertaining match up. With the WBA International title on the line, it gives it a little more spice.
Usually I don’t look too much into my opponents, I get in there and take it as it comes. I’m confident in my own ability to get the job done. My team already know a bit about the boy so they are telling me the plans which we’ll adopt on the night.
I’ve prepared for a tough fight no matter what so the late change of opponent doesn’t really change all that much for my planning.
It’s all work in progress. I want to get to World level. This is a great stepping stone to help get where I want to be.
I don’t really go in thinking ‘I’m going to knock this guy out’, I like to box. It’s going to be a good fight for the fans to watch. Јас сум агресивен, come forward fighter.
Camp has gone well. I’m pretty happy going into the last few days. Now it’s all about getting the weight right, all the hard work has been done now. I’m just looking to get this show on the road now.

BURNETT: ADAM BOOTH HAS THE PLAN TO BEAT HASKINS

Belfast talent putting faith in trainer to take IBF World title

SAN DIEGO- (Јуни 5, 2017)-Ryan Burnett believes he has the perfect man in his corner in Adam Booth to get the gameplan right to take the IBF World Bantamweight title from Lee Haskins when they clash at the SSE Arena Belfast on Saturday June 10, live on AWEA Wealth of Entertainment at 3 ЕТ / 12 ЕТ

Burnett faces the Bristol ace in his first World title shot and it’s a welcome return to his hometown after over three and a half years on the road.

Burnett’s last outing in Belfast in November 2014 was his first fight with Booth and the pair have moved seamlessly to 16-0 and on the brink of World glory as their partnership has blossomed in Booth’s Surrey gym.

Booth has been in the corner for many World title fights with David Haye and Burnett feels that having those expertise behind him can be the difference.

Adam believes I am ready for it and he’s a man who has been there and done it,” said Burnett. “Adam knows how to put a game plan together to beat a southpaw, and I have every faith in Adam. If I am calm, relaxed and I deliver what Adam tells me to do on the night, I’ll win that belt.

I’m always learning with every fight and every day in the gym with Adam. People were saying a year ago that I was ready for a World title shot so that must mean I am even better placed for it now. Adam makes the decisions of what the right move is for me.

Adam has given me intelligence on what I actually have to do. All the skills are there, but he’s teaching me how to control it. That’s what we work on every dayunderstanding what you have to do and how you have to do it.

I needed to sit back, peel away the layers and understand what I am doing. Adam’s work speaks for itself. He’s been in the sport for a long time and he’s a well-respected coach. I’ve come to the gym willing to listen and learn because I know that Adam has so much knowledge to give, so if Adam says jump, I say how high.

Burnett challenges Haskins on a huge night of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title, with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.

An exciting undercard features a the Cruiserweight debut of Mike Perez, Ian Tims and Luke Watkins meeting for the Irish Cruiserweight title and local favourites James Tennyson, Paddy Gallagher, Matthew Wilton, Feargal McCrory and Tyrone McCullagh.

Up Close and Personal With Liverpool’s Rising Prospect Dayle Gallagher

 

Interview by Gianluca Di Caro.

Фото: Team Gallagher

 

 

The subject of this interview is Dayle Gallagher, who is proving to be one of the most exciting young prospects to emerge on the Merseyside boxing scene over the past few years.

 

On Friday March 3то Dayle is set to compete in his toughest fight to date, a six rounder at the Hanger 34 Club in Liverpool, against Belfast’s Michael Kelly, a proven Championship campaigner, who in the past year or so has fought France’s Mohamed Larabi for the WBF International title and more recently Scotland’s Lee McAllister for the WBF Inter-Continental belt, as well as competed on huge televised events in Russia and Sweden.

 

Unbeaten in four outings to date, two by early stoppages, against Alekseis Nikitenko, Мај 2015 and Jak Johnson in December 2016, and two by solid points decision, Marty Kayes in April 2016 and Phil Townley in June the same year, Dayle has already caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the sport, including two time World Champion Amir Khan.

 

In fact courtesy of Mr Khan and his team, Dayle firmly earned his place in the History books of the sport, as the very first winner of a Professional Boxing contest in Pakistan, following his excellent win over Belfast’s Phil Townley back in June last year.

 

More on that later, as right now I think its time to get on with the interview.

 

Џанлука

Thank you for talking with me today Dayle, whilst obviously this interview is regarding your professional career, especially the upcoming fight against Michael Kelly on March 3rd, I would like to start the interview off with you telling the readers a little about your non-professional boxing, especially your amateur career, which I have understand started out with a victory over one of the top guys in the division at that time.

 

Dayle

I started boxing at the age of 14, after training for over a year I had a few inter-club events before having my first amateur bout which was on short notice to represent Liverpool my home city, which was against the Welsh number one at the time in his home city Wrexham.

 

I always remember my coach saying no one wants to fight this lad so go knock him out, and in the second round after putting him down twice already the referee had no choice to stop it.

 

I was told by numerous of people I had a bright future in the sport but my focus at the time was to become a professional football player which ended in a real bad injury and after 18 months of physio and rehabilitation on my injury.

 

I finally got back into boxing for fitness and immediately fell back in love with the sport, after just a few months of training I took a white-collar fight in Newcastle.

 

After winning that I got loads of good feedback and realised I need to start taking this serious and see how far I can go in the sport, I won Northern area, British and European titles on the unlicensed scene then realised I need to turn to the professional side of the game.

 

 

Џанлука

Your pro career got off to a flying start, with a stoppage victory over Latvian Aleksejs Nikitenko, firstly how did it feel boxing in the professional ranks for the first time and secondly can you give your view of the fight please?

 

Dayle

Even though I had been in the ring plenty of times before, my professional debut had me more nervous then any other fight, but the feeling couldn’t of been better.

 

The fight didn’t last long about 1 minute I think before the referee had to interfere and call a halt to the fight which led to my first win in the professional ranks and is a day I will never forget.

 

 

Џанлука

It was almost a year before you were back in the ring, against Marty Kayes back in April last year, but even with such a long time between fights you were in top form, beating Marty on points. How did you manage to keep motivated during this time and again please give the readers your view of the fight?

 

Dayle

It was very hard because I was going through a lot of complications with my promoter at the time and couldn’t fight and I thought I might never fight again, but after a long period out, my brother helped me and got me a fight.

 

I knew a lot about Marty and knew it wouldn’t be easy knowing how experienced he was, but I wanted to show everyone that even with all this time out how good I can be and got the win and felt like I’d never had time out of the ring.

 

 

Џанлука

Your next fight, against Phil Townley, came just a few months later and what’s more was overseas on an historic event, the first Pro Boxing event ever to take place in Pakistan. Can you please tell the readers firstly how this came about and also tell the readers not just about the fight but also the whole experience?

 

Dayle

I didn’t really believe it was true when I first found out about Pakistan. I had just come back from my holiday and next minute am on the phone to Amir Khan’s uncle about a possible fight in Pakistan.

 

Even though I knew I wasn’t at my fittest or at my preferred weight I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity so I stepped up two weight classes just for the opportunity.

 

Within a couple of hours of the fight getting offered to me I was in Bolton at the Amir Khan Academy filling out all my paper work and my visa and literally three days later was on a plane going to fight in Pakistan.

 

On arriving in Pakistan I was treated like royalty, my bags where collected and carried for me. I was greeted by the Pakistan Army and Police and escorted to my hotel.

 

I could never thank the people enough from Pakistan on how they made my time there so welcome, it’s a great country with great people even when I fought they where screaming my name, so much so that I thought I was back in Liverpool with a home crowd.

 

It was one of my most amazing experiences of my life and one that I will have for the rest of my life as I made history as the very first professional boxer to fight and win on Pakistan soil.

 

 

Џанлука

Your fourth fight, against Jak Johnson back in December and on home turf once more, was both dramatic and I would expect anti-climatic for you. I was there so know all that occurred but could you enlighten the readers about the dramas that unfolded that night from your view please?

 

Dayle

If you’ve seen the whole fight it looks like I wasn’t too happy at the end but that’s because am a fighter and all I want to do is fight.

 

I trained so hard and felt in the best shape of my life so when the fight was over In 30 seconds it annoyed me but that’s just something I have to deal with its boxing and fights can be over with one shot.

 

After watching it back I was happy with my performance and I’m blessed with punching power that can pop someone’s shoulder out of its socket with one shot.

 

 

Џанлука

На 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 во Ливерпул, where you are due to face Ireland’s Michael Kelly. Do you know much about Michael and his fighting style and also how do you see this fight panning out?

 

Dayle

I know about the people he’s fought and what he’s achieved I know it will be a tough fight but that’s why my team and me asked for the fight.

 

I don’t watch my opponents on old fights because they could turn up an box a completely different fight so I like to figure them out when am in there.

 

I think it will be an entertaining fight for people to watch, but I see it ending with a knockout, if I hit anybody at welterweight with one of my power shots in eight-ounce gloves I will be shocked to see anybody still standing there in front of me.

 

 

Џанлука

So out of the fights you’ve had to date, whether pro or not, which has been your favourite and why?

 

Dayle

My favourite has to be Pakistan making history and challenging myself, it was a big risk stepping up two weight divisions but I like a challenge and this is why I’m in this fight game, and also boxing in front of two time World Champion Amir Khan and getting great feedback from him, you can’t ask for anything better than that.

 

 

Џанлука

How would you describe your fighting style?

 

Dayle

My fighting style I believe is different to the average British style boxer which I think makes me stand out more, I’m a counter fighter with power, I’m a southpaw and I know I can be a nightmare for any boxer out there on the boxing circuit.

 

 

Џанлука

Should you be successful on the 3rd March, you will be unbeaten in five, whilst perhaps it’s still a bit early to be thinking of Championship accolades, I’m sure that you must have been thinking about opportunities like that already, as such could you please outline your future plans for the readers.

 

Dayle

I’m in the sport to win titles, it’s a dream of mine that I know I can achieve and when the opportunity comes I will take it.

 

I will keep climbing the ladder winning fights and when my team think the time is right, I will get my title shot and I will become Champion.

 

 

 

Џанлука

I’m sure you must have been an avid watcher of pro boxing even as a youngster, as such my next question is which fighters, past or present, have had the most influence on you and your career?

 

Dayle

Growing up from a young age I used to watch videos of Roy Jones Jr, I love his cockiness and confidence.

 

I always wanted to be an entertainer and give people the feeling I had when watching him.

 

My favourite fighters that I like to watch a lot of now is Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr and Errol Spence Jr, these are the type of fighters I like to take a lot from and try to make into my own style.

 

 

Џанлука

Moving away from the fights etc., who are the main people that make up Team Gallagher?

 

Dayle

Even though I’m the one who gets in there to fight I couldn’t do it without my team, from my brother Kyle who prepares me for every fight, to all my teammates at engine room.

 

It’s not just my team though; my sponsors also help me to get ready for fight night, Goodness Grill, who prepares my food, which help me with my diets. Spartan Dynamic who train me for my strength and conditioning and get me in great shape and make me feel stronger than ever.

 

James Harris who helps me with everything behind the scenes like interviews.

 

My friends my family and my girlfriend these all help me behind the scenes when I’m moody from weight cutting and preparing for fight night.

But the most important people on my team are the people who believe in my dream and buy tickets off me for my fights, because what a lot of people don’t realise without ticket sales fights can’t happen and I will always be thankful to every last person who buys a ticket from me!

 

 

Џанлука

Where do you train and what is your training schedule?

 

Dayle

I train in Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness and Spartan Dynamic, my normal routine for fight night is 6сум I wake up have a banana then straight to Sports Direct Fitness for my running.

 

I like to get between 4-6 miles in every morning then I will do a bit of bag work and get a sauna, then I will go home and rest then at 10:30сум depending on which day Понеделник, Среда, Петок I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.

 

Вторник и Четврток I will be at Spartan Dynamic until Midday working on my strength and conditioning, then I will go and pick up freshly prepared meals from Goodness Grill and then have work from 2:30pm until 9:30часот.

 

It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.

 

 

Џанлука

What would you say your favourite part of training is?

 

Dayle

I don’t really have a favourite part of training; my favourite part is probably getting told I’m finished because it’s really hard work.

 

It’s an addiction training that I couldn’t go without, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be sparring. It’s the closest thing to fighting and there’s nothing better than landing devastating punches on opponents.

 

 

Џанлука

Outside boxing, what is your favourite sport?

 

Dayle

Outside of boxing my favourite sport is football, I love to watch my team Everton but any game in general I will just watch for entertainment

 

 

Џанлука

Besides sport how else do you relax outside boxing?

 

Dayle

Boxing is constantly on my brain when I have spare time I watch boxing videos or talk about it to people who don’t really care but it’s in my blood and I just can’t help it

 

 

Џанлука

These days Social Media is very much an important tool for professional sports people; do you utilize Social Media to engage with your fans?

 

Dayle

I find social media is very important these days for professional athletes and I always interact with fans, because anybody who takes time to ask me anything about my career deserves a reply, I’m not a big name in the sport yet so to have people asking me questions about my boxing really means a lot to me.

 

 

Џанлука

Finally is there anything you want to say to your fans?

 

Dayle

Thank you to everyone who follows my career and believes in me it won’t be long until I’m at the top, Ви благодарам.

BELLATOR AND BAMMA RE-JOIN FORCES FOR BELLATOR 173 AND BAMMA 28 AT THE SSE ARENA IN BELFAST ON FEBRUARY 24

SBG STARS JAMES GALLAGHER AND SINEAD KAVANAGH BOTH SET WITH MATCHUPS

combo graphic

HOLLYWOOD, Калифорнија. (Јануари 24, 2017) – Bellator & BAMMA combine forces once more to bring Belfast a show of Titanic proportions as they present their second co-promoted event on Friday February 24th 2017 from the SSE Arena, Belfast. With huge main events and supporting undercards, it will be a historic and groundbreaking night to remember for MMA fans of Belfast and around the world.

 

Tickets for the joint-event start at just £35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.ie, SSEArenaBelfast.com, or the SSE Arena box office.

 

We had a great time working with David and the BAMMA team in December for what was an incredibly successful Bellator debut in Dublin. We’re looking forward to heading north with them to Belfast for another amazing co-promotion that will feature some of the world’s best fighters.”Скот Coker, Bellator CEO

 

“The addition of Bellator to the show in Dublin was a great experience and the perfect end to a year of great events for BAMMA. We are therefore very pleased to welcome them back as part of the package for what will be an exciting night of MMA for the fans in Belfast in February” – David Green, BAMMA CEO

 

With both fight cards being announced over the coming weeks, further information on the headline bouts can be found below.

Bellator 173: McGeary vs. полињата

Hailing from Andover, Англија, the 34-year-old Лиам McGeary (11-1) will make the short trek up to Northern Ireland’s capital for the first time in his career, where he will once again compete in a main event. The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10thtime under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, кога Фил Дејвис wrestled the title away from him at Bellator 163. McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 на 11 career wins, including eight in the opening frame. Much like the “RMS Titanic,” which was built in Belfast, McGeary hopes to sink Fields when the two take center stage inside The SSE Arena on Февруари 24.

 

A native of Dublin, Ирска, Chris Fields (11-7-1) will also have a short trek to Belfast when he enters the cage on Февруари 24. “The Housewives’ Choice” will be making his Bellator MMA debut, following nine years under the direction of local promotions, including three appearances under European powerhouse BAMMA. After competing at middleweight in 2015, the 33-year-old Fields returned to the light heavyweight division, recording a first round submission victory over Dan Konecke at BAMMA 24. Fields has tallied finishes in each of his 11 career wins, making him one of the most menacing opponents for anyone standing in his way. Now the SBG Ireland product will look to make a splash in his first fight with Bellator MMA, as he prepares for the former division kingpin.

 

Hailing from nearby Straban, Ирска, 20-годишниот James Gallagher (5-0) is one of the brightest stars in all “The Emerald Island.” At age 15, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home to join Coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor.

The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10та time under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, кога Фил Дејвис wrestled the title away from him at „Белатор 163“. McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 на 11 career wins, including eight in the opening frame.

Минатиот викенд се најдов себеси летаат низ Ирското Море во Белфаст, за прв Малта бокс комисија (МБЦ) санкционирани про настан во покраината, Настанот Чак Tolan е Fianna Промоции 'Ruaille Buaille' и момче О момче и беше достоен за тоа.

 

Но, пред добивање кон бокс, Морам да кажам дека она што голем град и големите луѓе, Ми се неверојатно добредојде и на навивачите на ноќта, во неверојатна Devenish комплекс, беа едноставно неверојатна и навистина направи специјални, Сигурен сум дека неверојатни атмосфера и енергија што се создава мора да имаат навистина ја укина дома борци.

 

Тапацир настанот види Белфаст е многу сопствени Томи "Тигар" Tolan предизвик колеги Белфаст момче Фил Townley за инаугурацијата ирски Меѓународниот средна титула.

 

Кариера Томи има преземено малку за оживување на изминатите дванаесет месеци или така, по рок на загубите ќе се вратам на 2011 Ирската bruiser е ставање во некои големи перформанси.

 

Се чувствував дека е несреќен не да се добие барем нерешено против Џорџ Hillyard уште во август минатата година, но можеби тоа го поттикна кога тој излезе против Мет Scriven само три месеци подоцна и повторно против Rastislav Frano во февруари.

 

Оние победи против Scriven и Frano постави Томи на курс за својот прв наслов борбата, како и насловот шут, и Томи не оставајќи ништо на случајноста.

 

Десно од надвор и протагонисти во собата за бизнисот во високо темпо, Townley е особено силен доаѓаат напред, кој првично се стави Tolan на задната нога.

 

За средина преку круг Townley поддржан Tolan излез на јажиња и почна да работи во телото на неговиот противник, Сепак во текот на една особено френетичен размена имаше спротивно татнеж што нивните глави се судрија.

 

Townley излезе полошо, гнасна намалување на врвот на челото, кои oozed крв во двете очи. Судија Ли Murtagh запре постапката и доби ringside лекар за да ги сече веднаш.

 

По чистење на крвта од лицето му беше јасно сече не беше толку лоша како што изгледа и борбата продолжува.

 

Townley беше малку колебливи за рестарт, кој ја отвори вратата за Tolan да се забавува публиката со некои одлични комбинации зад сериозно силен удар.

 

Тркалезна две многу повеќе од истата, со Tolan преземање на контролата на постапката во стил.

 

На околу минута гаден длабок рез разбивам по образот на Townley е, да кажам јас не сум сигурен дали тоа беше од удар или случајно главата судир повторно, како што тоа се случи во текот на уште една многу тесна четвртини судир се соочија.

 

Во секој случај, Townley во голема мера беше крваво и почнуваше да изгледа малку носени битка.

 

На крајот на круг ringside лекар, Д-р Роберт Меконел и главен траума Медиќ Крис Робинсон прегледано gashes Townley, а потоа разговараше со судијата.

 

Со знаење дека ако парчињата се отвори повторно борбата ќе биде запрен Townley излезе во поодбранбена режим, Сепак ова деца борец и по околу десет секунди или така фрли претпазливост на ветерот и отиде во напад голема време, што следи следниот беше на сите акција пети до пети војна.

 

Со околу триесет секунди на тркалезната останатите неизбежен случи, не само што имаше пукнатина по образот на Townley отвори повторно, но уште сече отвори над десното око.

 

Townley избриша крвта далеку од очите со својата ракавица и отиде директно на нападот повторно, но Tolan е има ништо од тоа и нека рипувате со голем право надоврза со двојно раце серијата на снимки, На тој начин ја поддржа сега прикривање Townley излез на јажиња и отиде во за убиство со друг бараж на снимки.

 

Со само пет секунди на тркалезната да одат судијата Ли Murtagh зачекори во да се спаси проблематичен и крваво Townley од неизбежните нокаут.

 

Треба да се каже дека борбата може да има само траеше три круга, но имаше веројатно повеќе акција во која девет минути отколку што нормално го гледате во десет позаоблена, кој отиде на далечина.

 

По резултатот беше најавено од страна на Џенифер Бартон легендарниот ирски MC Хари McGayock МБЦ и ирски Меѓународен првенство супервизор Дејвид Walshe презентирани Tolan со првенство појас, многу да се радост на високо вокални локалните толпата.

 

Пред одличен Tolan-Townley титула борбата, Белфаст е сензационално Ејмон Маги јуниор беше во акција против Летонија динари Skripkins.

 

Што тепачка, две сериозно елегантен и талентирани млади борци во акција против едни со други, ова имаше профит од тоа да биде вистинска класика.

 

Првично тоа беше мошне технички бокс дисплеј, повеќе како pugilistic шаховски натпревар, сепак играше во френетичен темпо, и Skripkins и Magee стави на фантастичен екран на бокс за преполна куќа, но тоа се покажа како да биде со краток век афера.

 

На околу една минута, Маги забави неговите напади и почна подигање надвор Skripkins со игла точка точни снимки на главата и телото, кои за возврат предизвика Литвански да ја промени својата тактика во обид да ја врати одредено ниво на контрола.

 

По околу триесет секунди или така на возвишеното бокс и од мажи, Маги зачекори во со голем право на телото на Skripkins, која го испрати на Латвија се сведува на платно.

 

Skripkins очајно се обидувал да го направи назад кон нозете како судијата Ли Murtagh направени пребројувањето на гласовите, но неговите напори беа залудни, наместо младите Латвиски се соочи со TKO поразот од една минута и 53 секунда знак на првиот круг.

 

Маги јуниор е јасно вистински договор, ова дете има сето тоа и она што е повеќе, тој беше во однос на сериозно добар противник во Skripkins, и дојде преку со извонредни резултати, голема победа, што е сигурно.

 

Мојата конечна зборови на оваа борба, тоа не може да трае долго, но ако овие две некогаш имаат реванш Сакам да бидам таму, тоа е толку добро.

 

Изработка на неговиот про деби беше поранешниот аматерски ѕвезда Метју Fitzsimmons, против колеги дебитант Летонија Aleksndrs Birkenbergs.

 

Исто како и со Маги јуниор-Skripkins ова беше уште една добро се исти рунда.

 

Од отворањето ѕвоно Birkenbergs се позиционирани центар прстен и погледна за контрола на постапката, Сепак Fitzsimmons е има ништо од тоа, особено како што тие се борат пред неговиот дом толпата.

 

Чување на неговите кул млада Fitzsimmons е задоволен да се избере од неговиот противник со насочени снимки на главата и телото секој пат кога ќе влезете во Birkenbergs со напад.

 

Околу една третина од патот низ првиот круг Fitzsimmons засили темпото, но сепак ја задржа својата точност, оставајќи Birkenbergs нема друга опција освен да ја покрие со периоди на време кога отвор за контранапад се претстави.

 

Fitzsimmons смени тактиката малку во втората, оди на предната нога и преземање на борбата за Birkenbergs право од надвор.

 

Birkenbergs е толку храбри како што тие доаѓаат, тој само продолжи да доаѓа напред во секоја прилика, За жал за ова младо момче играше право во Fitzsimmons многу способни раце, Ирецот танцување и допуштајќи RIP или со игла точка прецизен истрел во главата или телото или двојно раце серијата пред излегување пред Birkenbergs би можела да добие пристоен шалтер во.

 

Околу две минута, Fitzsimmons слета ребро пукање тело шут, буквално, но храбри Латвиски младо момче само го потресе надвор и се обиде да се врати на сопствената бокс.

 

За време на паузата и лекарот и судијата Ли Murtagh отиде да се провери на Birkenbergs, кој јасно беше во многу болка. По еден брз дискусија со својата позиција беше одлучено дека тоа ќе биде сесрдна за Birkenbergs да продолжи.

 

Треба да се каже Fitzsimmons е уште еден елегантен младо момче и момче О момче се тој ја покажат својата вештини во саботата ноќ, дефинитивно една за да се види за иднината.

 

Пред три про борби имаше пет Изложба напади, организирани од страна на IBA, да ја покажат само она што фановите можат да очекуваат кога МБЦ воведување на "Вести" Про форматот подоцна оваа година.

 

На "Вести" Про концептот е дизајниран како вовед во про редови за талентирани аматери повеќе одговара на добрите стил мудар, но со само ограничен аматерски искуство, или од друга страна искусни борци од нелиценциран сцена бараат да се направи некаков потег на професионални редовите.

 

Додека лиценцирање и медицински стандарди се речиси исти како и со редовна добрите, почетниците Позитивни борби ќе биде со времетраење од две минути и само можат да бидат заменети со други лиценцирани како добрите "Вести".

 

Првиот од овие напади се види Бери McCafferty победи бен Робинсон од страна на 40-36 одлука поени.

 

Следниот до види Означи McMahon победи Стив Keown за титулата МАК галски средна страна на 40-35 поени маргина.

 

Трета рунда види Мајкл Колинс го победи Стив Мартин во четири круг крузер натпревар со 40-37 поени маргина.

 

Џони Лосон запре Дарен Батлер со пукање bodyshot од една минута и 56 секунда знак на првиот круг.

 

Во насловот на изложбата рунда, Марти Kayes обезбедени МАК ирски наслов со 60-54 укажува победа над Карл Севиџ.

 

Како што реков на почетокот на извештајот ова ми беше прв пат во Белфаст и уживав во секоја една секунда од него, големиот град, големите луѓе и како за шоуто и што можам да кажам, тоа е прва класа, на големо место и тоа беше преполна со повеќето пофалници и пријателски фанови кои сум имал задоволство да ги задоволат.

Маги доаѓа во борбата високо во доверба, по неговото сензационално вториот круг прекин победа над Золтан Хорват во своето деби во јуни.

 

При преземањето на таа победа, Маги јуниор се покажа како да биде правилно "чип на стариот блок ', на младо момче кухо убаво во текот на, но уште поважно заврши својот поискусен противник со светска класа лево кука, во поголемиот дел на сличен начин како својот познат татко сторил на толку многу прилики за време на неговата славна кариера.
