    This is a great piece. Fagan went to the US on a football scholarship and now seems to be taking it to the best in the world of boxing. Actually, he seems like a really good amabassador for the game of boxing- and God knows we need good guys in this corrupt sport. A tough tough kid with a kind heart- it's good to see! What do ya think?

    That's some really good stuff! A tough kid with a big heart! Good to see the TV station getting behind the fighter for a change. Usually anytime we see fighters on the TV, they're usually in trouble. GO FAGAN!

    Rumours were drifting about that if he had of won that fight he could have had a pop at Hatton in Ireand next year. Ah well.

    yeah, I hear three or four opponents have either pulled out and not been accepted by the commision. I hope he gets someone to fight and doesnt miss out on a chance to fight at MSG

    I understand that he has finally found some opposition. Not the level that he wanted but he had to get someone unless he wanted to miss a chance of fighting at the MSG on St. Patricks Weekend - not something I would want to pass up!
