    Garcia's power I feel would put Haney in a world of trouble early on. Haney doesn't like nor can he take being hit.

    Yep I think it depends how early Garcia can get to him. I think ko 8-10 with Haney up on the cards

    That’s all he has, so. Puncher’s chance...

    Garcia is a decent puncher. He’s not that good...

    I think Haney is the type fighter that can prepare for all styles and adapt. Bit like Mayweather...

    He’ll pepper Garcia from mid to long range all night. Too sharp and accurate. Starting the exchanges first..
    I think he's a bit better then a decent puncher. Cmon

    He is.

    But not good enough to beat Haney..

    Hence he has a punchers chance!

    Delighted for Quigley. Fight was on a knife edge. Think he just about deserved the win.
    Big step up coming for him.


    Yeh, it was great to see. OK he may have his limitations but he’s getting as far as any Irish pro in recent years. 16 months without a fight can’t be easy to come back from, not to mention the earlier defeat and hand injury. Hope he gets a title shot in 21/22.

    Don't see it at all with Haney tbh. They're marketing him as this new Mayweather type but all I see is a guy nowhere near as slick as advertised. Constantly gets hit. There's some absolute monster punchers in his division too. I think Teofimo, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia all stop him.

    One thing's for sure

    Let's agree that the LWs of Teo/Haney/Garcia/Davis, and throw in Lomachenko should be able to give us some belters...

    I think Teo won't be too long at 135 lbs

    No idea who the best is......styles make fights.....

    Can understand Quigley's emotion at the end as that really was a crossroads fight. Saw highlights and he looked stronger and sharper the second half of the fight. Great to see Wayne in his corner in place of Andy. Read somewhere that Andy had visa issues which seems unusual given he previously lived there. Anyone hear anything about that?

    Andy is working with Parker. That was reason given I thinkm

    "Lee – who is unable to be at ringside due to a US visa hiccup – knows the predicament facing the former world amateur silver medallist."

    I’d say it’s probably because the USA is currently closed to no US residents and citizens coming from Europe. I imagine Quigley has a green card but not Lee.

    Good win for Kellie there against the French Pro world Champion. She booked her place in Tokyo with the victory.

    Excellent win against a seriously tough opponent. Boxed beautifully at times, but really had to work hard for it.

    Anybody see the female welter fight straight after it between the Turkish world champ and another seriously tough Armenian? Brilliant fight. As good as anything I've seen in these championships.

    Great win for Aoife O'Rourke in the 75kg, also now Tokyo bound
    She showed a great engine.
    The commentators had no idea how to pronounce her name

    Was a proper barn burner. Kellie showed a lot more than just slickness..

    Her engine was incredible.
    She simply never stopped throwing punches in the 2nd and 3rd. Just wore her opponent down.
    Delighted for her.

    Aidan Walsh got through too on a Split Decision. Got very lucky, almost had a point deducted in the last round which would have cost him

    Yeah looking at it and its quite likely Harrington will get a medal, heck far from improbable she gets the gold.:)

    O Rourke probably not as likely, but she clearly is seriously talented.
