Tired of the shite opinion columns but would really love to read a sociological study into how the Wolfe Tones went from playing in pubs in front of a few dozen people ten years ago to playing in front of tens of thousands at gigs and festivals throughout Ireland and Britain now
No exaggeration to say it’s one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen for any

Elite amateur v Elite amateur (who's also beaten 6 pro journeymen) with padded gloves/standing counts/3 rounds = CRIMINAL
Debuting MMA fighter who couldn't win the Irish Intermediates v 5-weight world champ with 8-ounce gloves/12 rounds = Let us make a commemorative belt for you
Brutal and criminal to allow a professional boxer Jalolov from Russia with 6-0 as a pro to fight outclassed, outweighed and far smaller USA 20 year old amateur Torrez AIBA world championship in Russia. Jalolov is scheduled for his 7th pro fight in 11 days in USA

And Aoife O'Rourke coming from a round behind to batter down and beat one of the top seeds

There are about 30 pro boxers in Belfast.
Tonight James Tennyson looks to become the city's second reigning world champion and Carl Frampton will hope to make it three in December.

More managers than 2010s Chelsea

More cancelled dates than a millennial singleton
More disappointments than you could shake a stick at...

"He's the heir to the Iron Throne but he says he's not interested. That's fine, no problem, but don't get involved in the first place. He's taking that opportunity from someone else, someone who wants it. It's a load of bull if I'm perfectly honest."
