Paddy Barnes loses out. He suggests this is it for him. The most honest man in the world, but looked tiny at bantamweight. If this is it, I just want to say thank you to one of the most amazing people I've ever met. A legend an hour ago and a legend still.

8000 in the Falls Park for an all-Irish pro battle on Friday and Olympic gold on Sunday. Not bad for a niche sport #IrishBoxing.

He fought the good fight💔 Rest easy, Anto #AntoFinnegan.
It is with the upmost sadness that we learn of the passing of our friend, former player, coach, mentor & ambassador Anto Finnegan. This world has lost a fine man. Our deepest sympathies to Alison, Conall, Ava & the Finnegan & Dowdall families. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal ♥️

THIS is the GAA. There is a reason why the Gorts are held in such high esteem. An amazing club and brilliant people. Just genuine, good folk.
Huge respect for @GortnaMonaCLG lads. Giving @NaomhEannaCLG a guard of honour off the pitch after the Intermediate final. Result didn't go their way but they showed class and what they as a club are about.

Think #WarringtonFrampton is certainly the boxing hipsters' choice this weekend. A proper, real, no-nonsense, legitimate fight. The beef may be in London, but the gravy's in Manchester.

Not the glorious ending he had hoped for but you can't take away from the career Carl Frampton has had. An absolute hero who has done great things. Unified at super-bantam and beat Santa Cruz that night in New York. We've been very lucky to have him.

Just off the phone with a very happy Pat Magee - manager of Anthony Cacace - who says they expect some phonecalls for big fights in the week. Was do-or-die for Cacace tonight and he did. At last, the doors may now be opening for 'The Apache'.

I'm 100 per cent behind this message. Antrim haven't had a home game since 2013 and still can't do so because a few people don't fancy it. The draw is the draw, so suck it up.
Absolute embarrassment!! What is the point?! Home advantage gone because other counties voted for a venue change?? What the fuck!.

Just home from Ballycastle. What an epic Antrim SHC we just had, certainly on the best in a while. Explosive finish and two teams that left it all out on the field. What an advertisement for hurling in the county.

Deeply saddened to hear this. Sean was a giant in hurling circles, managing Antrim in the mid-80s and again in '98, plus masterminding Down's breakthrough in '92. Managed his home club and helped out with others including Bredagh where he finished. A gentleman who will be missed.
The Committee and Members of Padraig Sáirséil CLG are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our club stalwart Sean McGuinness. Our thoughts and prayers are with the McGuinness family at this sad time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal 🙏🏼💚🖤

Home with a recording of the game on and a glass of vino I probably could have used around midday today! Antrim teams have lost games like that over the years but not this time, which says a lot. A day for dogging it out and did so. 2020 hasn't been all bad!.

Great night at Falls Park. McKenna-Felix was an epic battle; Padraig McCrory pulled out a huge victory and the main event didn't let us down. @mickconlan11 showed a bit of everything in there to score a career-best win. Answered questions that many pondered before. Take a bow.

I earn nowhere near what this fella claims to earn, but I would happily give up an extra score per month in tax if it helps the NHS, homeless or those looking to feed themselves. You get it back by having a more efficient health service anyway. What is wrong with people?.

£16??? Is Floyd Mayweather fighting at half-time or something?.
It's £15 (£3 for U16s) to attend the #TyroneSFC final - which is at 5.30pm on a Sundsy - and £16 to watch the stream. Thoughts? Surely this is too expensive. #GAA.

Hard to digest that game in Portlaoise. Laois dug in and battled superbly with the 14 men, gave Antrim nothing easy, but 18 wides at my count is a glaring stat for Antrim. Another near miss this week but this one feels different.

Disappointed heading home from Mullingar having lost out in another close one, but a great game of hurling and a great second half effort from Antrim. McDonagh Cup a great competition, needs to be promoted so much better as it has been a fantastic series of games thus far #GAA.

The notion of sport going behind closed doors is fanciful: a ruck in rugby or hurling; swarming the man on the ball in football; defending a corner in soccer; right hook in boxing - not exactly conducive to social distancing. There's a bigger picture now - let's catch a grip.

A huge win for Antrim this afternoon. Laois well on top in the first half but the move of McManus into the edge of the square was pivotal, his goal before HT huge. Serious desire from the Saffrons in the 2nd half to get over the line and secure Division One status.

That was some afternoon at Corrigan Park. Antrim looked in a bit of bother early with the two Wexford goals, but battled back brilliantly and were full value for the draw. Lively all affair that, plenty of intensity and added to by the crowd. Some score from Keelan to level it.

Well that was lively at Corrigan Park. At no stage did Cargin lead during open play, but they simply refused to lose. What began as a pretty dull game turned into chaos. As epic a battle you will see. Tough for Naomh Conaill to lose on penos but could see what it meant for Cargin.
