Hes not national champ this year, beaten by Quigley (who has secured at least a bronze for himself today)

crazy8

Missed that, out of the loop. Guess I just supposed O'Neill was a given. Fair play to Quigley.

Anyone have any live stream links for the championships? (I see RTE are streaming when the lads are in action.)

He fell and injured his knee in the 3rd round in his fight. He was winning.

very unlucky

Dick phelan

Ah poor lad sickning for him especially after what happend in the olympic qualifiers hope he recovers soon

Quigley had a great win over O'Neill's Olympic conqueror. That German lad is quality.

Jaysus, Conlon would pass for 15

Frank Gallagher pissed

Great stuff. I wonder is there any hope of the lads turning pro now McGuigan is back in promoting Frampton. Really hope so, it would be a shame otherwise. I think alot of the guys can go very far even world level, especially Barnes and Nevin.

Nevin would be a world champ imo.

Another great tournament for this bunch. One of the best crops of athletes the country has ever produced. Serious win for Quigley over Khytrov too.

Dick phelan

Just looking at the highlights there really quality displays from all of the lads Quigley really has been the star of the tournment his last two wins against abssolute quality fighters, 4 medals and could and most likely would have been 5 if joe ward wasnt so unfortunate, 4 silver medals and who knows 4 golds outstanding from the guys time and time again they produce

barney4001

quigg was the one i really hoped would win this

coronaextra

Barnes is out injured with a broken nose after yesterdays bout, very disappointing. hopefully the rest of the lads can push on for gold

Ah feckin' Jimmy Magee spoofing

Time is nevin fighting??

RTE online feed is just a grey screen! Worked for 2 seconds and then blank again...typical!

Johner

Great fight. I think Selby is just a bit sharper though.

efb

Selby looks to have this

Strongbow10

Selby is a lovely boxer, quite seasoned at this stage too.

Nice fight. My favourite kind

Plenty of room for improvement in Michael Conlon, very promising fighter. His right hand needs a bit of polishing but he has the tools, only 21 years old

not yet

Thought Conlon could have been a bit more aggressive, but good fight.

Conlon has so much potential he's a great fighter

efb

Give the first to Nevin

Johner

JJN style is just prefect for the amatuers. A joy to watch.

Strongbow10

seriously how f*cking annoying is jimmy magee, says shag all about the fight, he spends each round trying to impress everyone with his memory and general knowledge mixed in with boxing spoofing.

Nevin has got a little sloppy in this round getting caught more than he should, of course Jimmy doesn't mention it

efb

2nd to Nevin

How do you spell class?

And it doesn't begin with C,

It's N E V I N , Nevin.

efb

Do you guys like the round scoring?

efb

Nevin getting caught a bit too much in this round, that's what cost him gold in London- low defence

efb

Ukraine last round 29-28

Katie alert!

Dick phelan

Our boxing really is packed with quality serious strenth and depth aswell whats great is i dont think this current crop of fighters will be a one off, ireland medaling at major championships is here to stay for such a small country our boxing really punches so far above its weight
