Neil is out of his fight in Sydney with a broken rib unfortunately. Gutted as I was really looking forward to this fight.

I think Neil has what it takes to be up there with the best, look at his performance against Pickett after taking the fight at such short notice. I think if he works on his ground game he could do very well as his stand up and boxing are immense.

Andy Ryan - ”We’re gutted, we’re sick, he has put some much work into it. He looked very sharp, his ground work was super, his wrestling much improved.

“It happened at his last sparring, just a light sparring session on Thursday, he popped a rib. He went to the doctor who said he has a fractured rib, and is not allowed fly because the flight could cause a punctured lung.

“Neil wanted to still go and try to recover over there but in 2 weeks he will still have a fractured rib, and it cant be strapped up. There was just no chance he was going on the plane with that risk. I had to tell him he was out, he’s not fit to fly.”

Was so gutted to hear about this.
I suffered a similar injury 10-14 days out, although not as severe, it was real touch and go if it'd heel up in time.
He would of been taken a massive risk by staying in the fight.

Shame really but hopefully he comes back into the fold real soon. Maybe get on the Boston card with Conor and Norman? Seery has the boxing to light up that division in my opinion. Can't wait to see him compete again.

DrPhilG · 30-10-2014 5:06pm

Gutted at this, hopefully he gets another fight booked soon.

He's really flying under the radar with all the hype on Conor. I was just saying on the TUF thread that they made a big fuss about all the Irish winners in Dublin but left out Seery.

Would be some craic to have 2 Irish champions...

Neil Seery on broken rib: “It’s basically just a kick in the bollocks”

Irish MMA fans were crestfallen yesterday as an injury to one of their heroes, Neil Seery, was revealed which has forced him out of his November 8 clash with Richie Vaculik in Sydney’s Allphones Arena.

The former Cage Warriors champion explained how the accident occurred in celebrated Irish boxing trainer Paschal Collins’ Celtic Warriors facility, which the Finglas man frequents to train with a host of pugilistic champions.

Seery said: “I was over sparring in Paschal Collins’ boxing gym, Celtic Warrior, I was down on the Wednesday doing a few rounds and then I went back over on Thursday for a few more – I get great training with the lads down there.

“I did my usual warm up on the Thursday and I think there was about 20 seconds left in the first round and I felt something like a twitch. I took a body shot and then I can remember feeling something that I’ve never felt before.

“The round was finished and the bell went, I took a drink of water and went back to start the second round. I felt it again and I knew something wasn’t right. As soon as I said it one of the lads went straight down and grabbed some ice and they put a load of it on me.

“I ended up getting dressed and heading home, it wasn’t too bad, but then I ended up keeling over in pain to tell you the truth. I rang the VHI in Swords, asked them would they give me an x-ray and they said it wouldn’t be a problem.

“I ended up heading out and the doctor refused to x-ray me. They said they didn’t x-ray people. I explained that I had rang before and they said it would be done and I told them that I was in serious pain. Again, I was told it wasn’t their policy to x-ray people’s ribs.

Bad form by Swords VHI. Sounded like something out of Curb your Enthusiasm.

Agreed, surely they should have some procedure for high level athletes to fast track them.

Hope he gets on the Boston card and I completely agree that he is really being overlooked, I honestly think he could be a contender as his boxing is unbelievably crisp, he has a very solid chin and he has shown that he is an entertaining fighter. I'm sure that Andy is working a lot on his wrestling and ground game and he has some good guys to work with in Ryano.

Would love to see him fight Pickett again with a full camp or even have a go at creepy.

I checked their website and the doctor seems right in that they dont do x-rays but i believe he was initially told on the phone they did. So im not sure why he paid the €160. Also not sure what ''I was told it wasn’t their policy to x-ray people’s ribs'' means. Either they have an x-ray facility or they dont. Maybe it was Neils phraseology otherwise it sounds like they can pick and choose who they want to x-ray!.
Its Santry sports surgery clinic in Northwood where he needed to go. Too late now though.

At the bottom of that page it says they do x-rays for 95 euro. In their lidt of services they include sports injuries.

Would have made no difference to the end result, but shocking service none the less.

scudzilla · 05-11-2014 12:41am

Hope he gets fighting soon as i have a 200Euro bet wit him that Utd will finish higher in the PL than Liverpool, easy money

Frankly my dear · 05-11-2014 12:54am

The VHI, clowns. But why am I not shocked by that.

RoboRat · 12-12-2014 11:47am

Neil Seery will be fighting on the Stockholm card in January against highly rated Chris Beal 10-0 (2-0 UFC). Going to be a tough match for Neil but if he keeps the fight on the feet, I think he will win.
