BURNETT: ADAM BOOTH HAS THE PLAN TO BEAT HASKINS
Belfast talent putting faith in trainer to take IBF World title
SAN DIEGO- (Junho 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, viver em AWE–A Wealth of Entertainment at 3 PM ET / 12 PM ET
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 day – understanding 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.
Foto: 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 3rd 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, em maio 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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
No 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 em Liverpool, 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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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!
Gianluca
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 6sou 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 10:30sou depending on which day Segunda-feira, Quarta-feira, Sexta-feira I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.
Terça-feira e Quinta-feira 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 9:30pm.
It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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
Gianluca
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
Gianluca
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.
Gianluca
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, obrigado.

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
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFÓRNIA. (Janeiro 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.” – Scott 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. Campos
Hailing from Andover, Inglaterra, the 34-year-old Liam 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, quando Phil Davis 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 de 11 vitórias na carreira, 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 Fevereiro 24.
A native of Dublin, Irlanda, Chris Fields (11-7-1) will also have a short trek to Belfast when he enters the cage on Fevereiro 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 vitórias na carreira, 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, Irlanda, a 20-year-old 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. Having made his Bellator debut in London this past July in London, Gallagher followed up in December with a submission victory over Anthony Taylor in front of a raucous home crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin. Gallagher now takes on Kirill Medvedovsky (7-3) in the co-main event of the evening.
Another top prospect from the famed SBG powerhouse, Sinead Kavanagh (4-0) returns to the Bellator cage against 32-year-old Parisian Iona Razafiarison (1-1, 1 NC) in a 140-pound catchweight matchup “KO” Kavanagh, who fights out of nearby Dublin Ireland will no doubt be looking to collect her third knockout on Fevereiro 24.
BAMMA 28: Parke Vs. Redmond
“Stormin” Norman Parke (22-5-1) from Bushmills, Antrim is no stranger to BAMMA events, as he has been spotted numerous times cornering team mates as part of the Next Gen Northern Ireland fight team. One of Europe’s most sought after free agents prior to putting pen to paper with BAMMA, Parke now goes in pursuit of the coveted BAMMA World Lightweight title.
Paul “Redser” Redmond (11-6) landed a victorious homecoming of his own at BAMMA 26, as Redser took out the double tough Chris “The Menace” Stringer to claim the adulation of his hometown support. Redmond now steps into one of the biggest fights ever announced in Ireland, as he takes on Parke in this hugely anticipated match up.

Luta Relatório: Tolan Protege Irish Internacional Título, Magee Jr e Fitzsimmons verdadeiramente sensacional Em Belfast
Luta Relatório: Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro
Fotos: Paul Green
Último fim de semana eu me vi voando sobre o Mar da Irlanda para Belfast pela primeira Malta Comissão de Boxe (MBC) pro evento sancionado na província, O evento de Chuck Tolan Fianna Promotions 'Ruaille Buaille' e boy oh boy e valeu a pena.
Mas antes de entrar para o boxe, Eu tenho que dizer que uma grande cidade e ótimas pessoas, Eu fui feito incrivelmente bem-vindo e os fãs na noite, com a incrível Complex Devenish, foram simplesmente incrível e realmente tornou especial, Tenho certeza de que a atmosfera incrível e energia que deve ter gerado realmente levantou os lutadores casa.
A atração principal do evento ver próprio Tommy de Belfast 'The Tiger' desafio Tolan companheiro Belfast rapaz Phil Townley para o título inaugural Irish Internacional Middleweight.
A carreira de Tommy se comprometeu um pouco de um ressurgimento nos últimos doze meses ou mais, após uma série de perdas de voltar para 2011 O Bruiser irlandesa tem vindo a colocar em alguns grandes atuações.
Senti que ele não teve sorte de não conseguir pelo menos um empate contra George Hillyard volta em agosto do ano passado, mas, talvez, que ele estimulado quando ele subiu contra Matt Scriven apenas três meses depois e novamente contra Rastislav Frano em fevereiro.
Essas vitórias contra Scriven e Frano definir Tommy sobre o curso para sua primeira luta headline, bem como a disputa de título, e Tommy não estava deixando nada ao acaso.
Desde o off ambos os protagonistas definido sobre seu negócio a um ritmo elevado, Townley sendo particularmente forte vindo para a frente, que inicialmente colocou Tolan com o pé atrás.
Sobre a meio da rodada Townley apoiado Tolan nas cordas e começou a trabalhar o corpo de seu oponente, No entanto, durante uma troca particularmente frenético houve um estrondo feio como suas cabeças entraram em confronto.
Townley saiu pior, com um corte feio na parte superior da testa, que escorria sangue em ambos os olhos. Árbitro Lee Murtagh parou o processo e obteve o medico para verificar o corte imediatamente.
Depois de limpar o sangue do rosto ficou claro que o corte não foi tão ruim quanto parecia e a luta continua.
Townley estava um pouco hesitante no reinício, que abriu a porta para Tolan para entreter a multidão com algumas combinações excelentes atrás de um jab forte sério.
Em volta de dois muito mais do mesmo, com Tolan tomar o controle do processo em grande estilo.
Em cerca de uma hora a marca um corte desagradável se abriu no rosto de Townley, tenho que dizer que eu não tenho certeza se era de um soco ou acidental cabeça-choque novamente, como isso aconteceu durante ainda mais quartos muito próximos slugfest.
De qualquer jeito, Townley foi fortemente sangrando e começando a olhar um pouco desgastado batalha.
No final do ringue médico rodada, Dr Robert McConnell e Chief Trauma Medic Chris Robinson inspecionados gashes de Townley e depois falou com o árbitro.
Com o conhecimento de que, se os cortes de abrir novamente a luta vai ser interrompido Townley saiu em um modo mais defensivo, no entanto este miúdos um lutador e após cerca de dez segundos ou assim jogou o cuidado para o vento e partiu para o ataque o tempo grande, o que se seguiu depois foi uma guerra total ação de igual para igual.
Com cerca de trinta segundos da etapa final, aconteceu o inevitável, não só tinha o corte na bochecha de Townley abriu novamente, mas outro corte abriu sobre o olho direito.
Townley limpou o sangue de seus olhos com sua luva e foi direto para o ataque novamente, mas Tolan estava tendo nada disso e vamos rasgar com um grande direito seguiu com uma enxurrada mão dupla de tiros, ao fazê-lo apoiado o agora encobrir Townley nas cordas e foi para o matar com outra saraivada de tiros.
Com apenas cinco segundos do round para ir árbitro Lee Murtagh entrou em cena para salvar o Townley conturbado e ensanguentado do nocaute inevitável.
Tenho que dizer a luta pode ter durou apenas três rodadas, mas havia provavelmente mais ação em que os nove minutos do que você normalmente vê em um dez mais redondo que foi a distância.
Após o resultado a ser anunciado pelo do lendário MC irlandês Harry McGayock MBC Jennifer Burton and Irish Internacional Campeonato Supervisor David Walshe apresentados Tolan com o cinturão de campeão, muito para a alegria da multidão local altamente vocal.
Antes da excelente luta pelo título Tolan-Townley, Sensacional Eamonn Magee Jnr de Belfast foi em ação contra Dinars letões Skripkins.
O que uma luta, dois jovens lutadores seriamente elegantes e talentosos em ação contra o outro, este tinha as qualidades de ser um verdadeiro clássico.
Inicialmente era uma exposição de boxe altamente técnico, mais como um jogo de xadrez pugilismo, Ainda não jogou para fora em um ritmo frenético, tanto Skripkins e Magee colocar em uma fantástica exibição de boxe para a casa lotada, no entanto, ele provou ser um assunto de vida curta.
Por sobre a marca de um minuto, Magee abrandou seus ataques e começou escolhendo fora Skripkins com o ponto pin tiros precisos na cabeça e no corpo, que por sua vez causou o lituano para mudar suas táticas em uma tentativa de recuperar algum nível de controle.
Depois de cerca de trinta segundos ou assim de boxe sublime de ambos os homens, Magee entrou em cena com um grande direito de o corpo de Skripkins, que enviou o baixo letão para a tela.
Skripkins tentou desesperadamente para torná-lo de volta a seus pés como árbitro Lee Murtagh fez a contagem, no entanto os seus esforços foram em vão, ao contrário, o jovem letão enfrentou uma derrota TKO por um minuto e 53 segundo marca da primeira rodada.
Magee Jr. é claramente o negócio real, esse garoto tem tudo isso eo que é mais ele era contra a sério bom adversário Skripkins, e veio com cores de vôo, grande vitória que é de certeza.
Minhas palavras finais sobre esta luta, ele pode não ter durado muito tempo, mas se estes dois já têm uma revanche eu quero estar lá, foi que boa.
Fazendo sua estréia profissional foi ex-estrela amadora Matthew Fitzsimmons, contra o também estreante da Letónia Aleksndrs Birkenbergs.
Assim como com Magee Jnr-Skripkins esta foi mais uma luta bem casada.
Desde o sino de abertura Birkenbergs se posicionou anel central e olhou para o controle do processo, no entanto Fitzsimmons estava tendo nada disso, especialmente porque eles estavam lutando na frente de sua torcida.
Mantendo a calma jovem Fitzsimmons foi o índice para escolher o seu adversário com tiros alvejados na cabeça e no corpo cada vez que Birkenbergs iria intervir com um ataque.
Cerca de um terço do caminho através do primeiro turno Fitzsimmons acelerou o ritmo, ainda assim manteve sua precisão, Birkenbergs deixando outra opção senão para encobrir por períodos de tempo até que uma abertura para um contra-ataque se apresentou.
Fitzsimmons mudou de tática ligeiramente no segundo, vai para o pé da frente e levando a luta para Birkenbergs desde o off.
Birkenbergs é tão corajoso como eles vêm, ele continuou vindo para a frente em todas as oportunidades, Infelizmente para o jovem esta jogado para a direita em Fitzsimmons mãos muito capazes, a dança em Irishman e deixando rip com ou um ponto de pin tiro certeiro na cabeça ou no corpo ou uma enxurrada mão dupla antes de sair antes Birkenbergs poderia obter um contador decente em.
Por volta dos dois minutos, Fitzsimmons aterrou uma costela rachaduras tiro do corpo, literalmente, mas o jovem letão corajoso apenas balançou-o e tentou voltar para o boxe.
Durante o intervalo, tanto o médico e árbitro Lee Murtagh foi verificar Birkenbergs, que estava claramente em um monte de dor. Depois de uma rápida discussão com seu canto, foi decidido que seria temerário para Birkenbergs para continuar.
Tenho que dizer Fitzsimmons é outro jovem elegante e boy oh boy ele mostrar suas habilidades no sábado noite, definitivamente um a prestar atenção para o futuro.
Antes dos três lutas profissionais, havia cinco lutas de exibição, organizado pela IBA, para mostrar exatamente o que os fãs podem esperar quando o MBC introduzir o formato Pro 'Aprendiz' ainda este ano.
O Pro conceito 'Aprendiz' foi concebido como uma introdução para as fileiras profissionais para amadores talentosos mais adequadas ao estilo pros sábio, mas com experiência amador apenas limitado, ou, por outro lado experimentado lutadores de cena sem licença olhando para fazer um movimento hesitante para o ranking profissional.
Embora as normas de licenciamento e médicos são praticamente o mesmo que com os profissionais regulares, as lutas Novice A Favor será de dois minutos de duração e só pode ser combinado com outros licenciados como Pros 'novatos'.
A primeira dessas lutas ver Barry McCafferty bater Ben Robinson por um 40-36 decisão por pontos.
Os próximos up ver Mark McMahon bater Steve Keown para o título IBA Gaelic Middleweight por um 40-35 pontos de margem.
Terceiro ataque ver Michael Collins bater Stevie Martin em um concurso de quatro Cruiserweight rodada por um 40-37 pontos de margem.
Johnny Lawson parou Darren Butler com um bodyshot rachaduras por um minuto e 56 segundo marca da primeira rodada.
Na luta exposição headline, Marty Kayes garantiu o Irish Título IBA com uma 60-54 aponta vitória sobre Karl Savage.
Como eu disse no início do relatório esta foi a minha primeira vez em Belfast e eu apreciei cada segundo single dele, grande cidade, grandes pessoas e como para o show bem o que posso dizer, foi primeira classe, em um grande palco e estava lotado com os fãs mais sensibilizada e amigáveis que eu já tive o prazer de conhecer.
