Im kind of sick of Willie, he is a mediocre fighter who somehow managed to worm his way to a world title shot, and was duly found out.

We should be focusing on some of our quality amatuer boxers, who, given the chance would destroy, the inappropriately named " Big Bang ." Guys like John Joe Nevin, Darren O Neil, these are the guys we should be discussing with the Olympics looming

I like Casey and he works hard but it's true, Nevin is a beautiful boxer. I wonder if he'll turn pro.

With all due respect Nevin, O'Neill etc wern't fighting on Sat night. Your comment is grand in that these are two lovely boxers but it's a bit like going into a Euro 2012 thread and asking people to talk about the Premiership because you prefer it. Feel free to start a thread on our Olympic hopefuls if you don't want to contribute to this.

Well done Willie, fair play.

I really hope Nevin does go pro after the Olympics, I think he has the all around ability to be a genuine World class fighter if he turns over. He's shown in the WSB that a transition into the pro game may suit him quite well.

However as pointed out by others that's a matter for another thread, this is about Willie Casey picking up a good win for himself at the weekend. I'm happy for Willie, surprised that he didn't get the stoppage really and even more surprised that this bout was meant to have been very close.

I think he has the potential to give any of the top Super-Bantamweights or Featherweights in Europe a tough nights work. With that said however I don't believe he'd get the better of any out of Frampton, Quigg, Martinez, Munroe or Galahad. Same with Selby, Yefimovych and plenty of the other top European feathers. With that said though I'd be interested in how he'd get on with the European Featherweight champion Miskirtchian in a neutral venue.
