Dean Byrne

sligobhoy67

anyone know anything about this Aussie based Irish boxer?

cowzerp

Dean is a hard hitting lightweight(maybe featherweight) i think, he's not a bad fighter and might be suited to the pro game, i sparred him in a competition as an exhibition and he was trying to knock me out, he did'nt though-not to hard to out box for the slick type imo, but a decent boxer..

dbrady01

dean is based in america now training with freddie roach and will be on the Marquez v Pacquiao bill. He is sparring Pacquiao which will give him great experiance

dbrady01

ps

he is a lightwelterweight now with a 6-0 record

sligobhoy67

to be honest I knew very little about him until I came across his Boxrec page

New South Wales and then Australian Light Welterweight Title holder! sounds good!

Where is he from exactly?

JMCD

Crumlin.........boxed out of crumlin aswell as an amatuer!

walshb

Did he box in the Seniors a couple of years back for Crumlin as a 64kg fighter and do well
in one or two fights and then lose to Joyce I think??

MBC

Yeah Dean is a very slick boxer........was very unlucky when it came to all ireland finals think he lost 2 or 3 in a row losing by count backs or by a single point.
I could be mistaken here but im pretty sure he beat Joyce a couple of times aswell.

Didnt realise he was in the states now.......really hope he does well a lovely lad.

If it's the Byrne I'm thinking of, then slick wouldn't be the word I'd use
to describe him. He was from what I saw of him, a ball of energy. Very aggressive and all action. Slick and cute I wouldn't say. Effecetive?..YES...

Am I corrct here?

That would be my take on him too, aggressive and strong, did not seem to like fighting the boxer type..

JoeyJJ

Hope he is a better boxer than poker player, played with him in crumlin one night about a year ago. Nice lad.

megadodge

Saw Byrne a few times in the Stadium and was always impressed. Very agressive, strong with good stamina and IMO wasn't a bad boxer at all - even though I wouldn't go so far as to call him slick. I always thought his style would suit the pros better, so I hope I'm proven right.

Is he for certain with Freddie Roach ? I thought he was based in Oz ?

dbrady01

yeah he is with roach a few months now. A relation of mine spent a few days with dean in vegas at the hatton mayweather fight. He is a good lad and will hopefull do well he seems to have his head screwed on and doing things right

I'll get boxrec to update his information.

Sparmates lined up to test Pacquiao

Tuesday, February 5, 2008 Manny Pacquiao begins serious sparring at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles tomorrow (Manila time) and trainer Freddie Roach has assembled a formidable cast of nine fighters, including three new undefeated contenders, to mimic Juan Manuel Marquez’s style.
It won’t be easy beating Marquez who survived three knockdowns in the first round to salvage a split 12-round draw with Pacquiao in their first meeting in 2004. A technician whose trademark is crisp counter-punching, Marquez is expected to give Pacquiao plenty of trouble in their much-awaited rematch at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on March 15.
But boxing scholar Hermie Rivera, writing from Newark, California, said there’s no doubt in his mind that Pacquiao will dispose of Marquez convincingly inside the distance.

To prepare for Marquez, Roach is tapping unbeaten Dean Bryne, Juan Garcia and Daniel Cervantes to trade blows with Pacquiao in the gym. They’re newcomers in Pacquiao’s team. Also in the rotation is amateur hotshot Adrian (A-Game) Gallon, Jr. Others in the lineup are holdovers Ray (Sugar) Beltran and David Rodela. Three more unnamed sparmates will be added to the list just in case there are casualties along the way.


Byrne, 23, is a lightwelterweight with a 6-0 record. Garcia, 21, is a superfeatherweight whose record is 14-0, with five KOs. Cervantes, 22, is a lightwelterweight with a record of 9-0. None is a devastating puncher but lack of power is negated by superior boxing skills.

he tops a small bill in the state again tonight.

i think he is a permanent fixture there

joepenguin

Did a quick search and came across the wild card website http://www.wildcardbc.com/ he's trained by Roach alright. Would like to see him over here at some stage, his record is decent for 9 fights, he's clearly getting great training in and is said to be exciting.

he won on points sligo

Johnduddy

A friend of mine from crumlin was telling me about Dean about 2 years ago when he went to australia I think he's 10-0 now and is regarded as a prospect ??

There was an article on him last week in one of the papers (herald or star I think) I'd say he's a "watch this space"....

Jerimiah

I know Dean, he a great boxer and a genuine bloke, he trains hard and gives 110%.. Hopefully he will become a world champion at some stage, I know from talkin to him yrs back when he was only a youngfella that he was aiming to be up there with the best, well looks like he is on his way...;)

Hangballlouie

I interviewed Dean a couple of weeks ago and he is a lovely lad.

http://www.britishboxing.net/news_4517-BBN22-Podcast-Dean-Byrne-and-Lenny-Daws.html

It was before his fight in MSG was cancelled so it had to be edited a bit.

Just go down the list of podcasts and it is there.

If you want to leave any comments great, only good ones though:D

By the way, if you hate the Dublin accent, turn away now.

Jesus, I thought I had a thick accent, wait till you hear Dean's.;)

Big Ears

The good news about Friday's fight is that Dean won a Unanimous decision(76-73, 76-73, 77-72), and floored his opponent 3 times.

However the bad news is that without those knockdowns he would of only had a draw, and those knockdowns came within the first 4 rounds aswell, which means they were either flash knockdowns or he had his man hurt and couldn't finish him.

I hope to see Byrne fight sometime in the near future but from what I've seen in sparring I'm not that hopeful. Any faith I have in him is simply based around Freddie Roach working with him, and presumely seeing something in him.

I wish him the best, and genuinely hope he does well, but I'm very hesitant to proclaim what he can do till I see a full fight of his, all I've seen so far is knockout clips and sparring.

Captain Furball

I've heard he is fighting in December has anyone any idea if it's true or not?
