Big Fight On Saturday

[barrybike]

this should be a good fight between ireland vs thailand .................

[sabaijai]

Where?

[Tingnongnoi]

it's in Ireland the fight

[spongeman]

it's in Ireland the fight

Yes ! Its at the O2 stadium in Dublin. About 300 tickets have been bought by the Thai Community here, (including my Thai Mrs !). Poonsawat has a good record, fighting 38 times with 27 KO's, only one loss. Interestingly enough that loss came in his only fight outside

Thailand, in Germany.

Our WBA superbantamweight champion, Bernard Dunne, has also only lost once.

Friendships with the Mrs will therefore be suspended on Saturday night.............

I keep telling her If Dunne can't do it, it can't be done.

[Tingnongnoi]

be a tough fight for Dunne, Poonsawat is known as the Tank and a strong fighter

He looks strong alright. Hopefully the home advantage will see Bernard home on points.

[barrybike]

im going to see the fight on saturday night ........looking forward to it ..the mrs is very excited too........

[Old Man River]

Does anyone know if TrueVisions will televise this one? I realize it would be in the middle of the night here, but they have televised some from Europe in the past.

[Tingnongnoi]

I would imagine it will be on one of the regular Thai channels such as Channel 7, as Poonsawat is a huge name here

[Tingnongnoi]

just been told that it won't be on Thai t.v live, rights to show it seen as too expensive, if Poonsawat wins should be shown monday evening.

Thanks for the quick info. I will look for it on Monday.

I think Poonsawat will knock Dunne out and since it is in Ireland, that is probably what it will take to win the fight. Should be a good one.

yes................should be a good one

At the weigh in today Dunne was comfortably under the limit, with Mr Thailand bang on, he did have to step on and off the scales 4 times.

Im going for a points win for Dunne.

And if the mrs wants to argue with me I will soften her up with a few jabs.

[Tongling]

Such a shame this isn't televised... Have to try find out some net stream then, but does anyone know what time they will actually fight?

Go, go Poonsawat!

Go, go Poonsawat!

Dunnes last fight started here in Dublin at around 10.30 to 11.00 gmt. Expect something similar tonight.

Come on you boys in green, come on you boys in green, come on you boys,come on you boys in green.

Ok, thanks for the info, but if you find out accurate time I would appreciate as those internet streams aren't very reliable and cannot wait all night...

I hope this will be a great match and been waiting this for few weeks now. Can only also hope this doesn't finish like other "huge" boxing match yesterday, which I waited even more. My countryman Amin Asikainen got really slaughtered by British Matthew Macklin before fight even got started at first round... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3ZliPBbccQ...player_embedded

There are quite a few fights on the undercard....I would say keep checking from 10 - 10.30pm gmt

Yea Macklin caught him with a peach did'nt he ? The ref was right to stop it i'm afraid.

Yep, 3 short lefts in the 'turd' round.

It doesn't show a lot unfortunately and there's not been any footage shown on Thai TV, unbelievable considering they have a new world champion!

Yeah i was at it....Dunne got it spot on by staying back against PW - did well for two rounds, and in the 3rd started mixing it with the Thai.

Mrs is rubbing it in my face big time, one person celebrated in a sea of Thousands..................

This was the first time I have seen Dunne and from the looks of things, the last time I will see him. He had nothing.

Dunne has some good boxing skills, but suffers from a very weak chin. Which does not help in boxing.....
