Brian Magee defended his Euro SMW belt after Roman Aramyan didnt come out for the 9th round.
The fight is on rte player atm, not sure if u can view it outside ireland?



Magee is now Ward's mandatory challenger. Depending on what happens with the super 6 he may get his shot sooner rather than later. Whether or not Ward fights him or drops the belt to fight someone more notable after the completion of the super 6 (or if the tournament isnt completed) we'll have to wait and see. But Magee will fight for the title one way or another. Happy days!

Lindsay won a UD over Yauheni Kruhlik over 8 rds. It was 2 divisions above his weight class so no complaints about not stopping him. As Smith is out with a hand injury, Lindsay will be fighting Simpson (who was robbed v Smith) next. Should be a cracker of a fight.

Duddy would beat andy at the moment he needs a lot of work with defence, inside work and tieing up etc...andy is only 25 while the rest of the guys macklin, mcewan , duddy are 27-30... gennady golovkin is going to be the star in that division.

Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
Pineapple wet heads
Watch new hairdos crumble
As scenery sunlight shifts away

Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play

Apples and cherries
Are varnished in water
Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
I push my paintbrush
To conjure a new world
While this one is slowly washed away

Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey

When it rains it rains
All the colors in my paintbox
When it rains it rains
Tickets for the front row seats
Up on the rooftops

Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
apples and cherries
Together, dropped in diamond disarray

Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
Behind the curtain silver falling
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey

Magee v Bute gonna be announced tomorrow.



Belfast boxer Brian Magee is set to challenge IBF super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute for his world title in Canada on 19 March.

Official confirmation of the contest is expected on Friday.

Magee had been expected to fight for the WBA version of the title in January after being named as a mandatory challenger to Dimitry Sartison.

In September, Magee made the first defence of his European title in Dublin by stopping Armenian Roman Aramian


Glad to see him getting a title shot and a pay day. Bring the upset on!!
