This is boxing tickets and we’re here at the olster hall today be Joy mon again with jmy con we obviously didn’t have an interview for a bit I think in the lead up the last show and obviously we’ve now done two in a week but obviously your

Immediate thoughts in the card I thought was Sensational it was a great card start to finish everyone kind of got got uh their money’s worth tonight it was it was yeah really really good some good fights some good matches some good Progressive fights and and a real tough

Tough fight as well for K mccy so yeah it was yeah overall good good very disappointed to see tell me like just sitting in there and seeing his family seeing him like it’s it’s a tough life sometimes as a boxer Did it sort of bring it back but for you obviously 2017

When you when you finished off and you’re sort of you know after the fight and you seeing everybody around there you’ve sort of now seen it the opposite way around to sort of bring it back for yourself when you were fighting going see what what everybody else is feeling obviously after your defeat

No yeah listen it’s when when you lose it’s it’s who who matters in the dress room is is matter most so seeing his his his his wife and his daughter and and again and Par like there are people close to him who have been close to him

For the past while and yeah they’re always going to feel the blow with him but ultimately it’s going to hurt him more than it’s going to hurt anyone else no matter what they’re saying so yeah it’s it’s never nice never nice but you always need people around him and Mark

Has always been there with for him and start to finish and it was good to see him even there tonight so I guess obviously with Tomy obviously a good place to start start off he’s having really good per of success in the fight I sort of maybe called and said

Clark had the hands wide he obviously looked open the upper cut upper cut was Landing a few times Clark was going over the front foot you’re going Tommy’s going to obviously throw a big punch in here and it’s going to detonate but I guess probably beell in the chef Clark’s

Tactics and went for a sort of 22 tussling unfortunately commit the wrong end yeah was tough he closed the distance well he put the pressure on well he held the pace well and made it a very hard night for Tommy knew the distance was always going to be what

Time he was trying to create and keep but she kept closing that and using the elbow and getting in and being dirty and yeah was tough night of the office it’s one of these nights where obviously was who had the best sort of knockout obviously there’s plenty of Knockouts in

The card I think it was only maybe two two fights it didn’t that W the sort of distance but like Le is Le both left hands left hand of the body left hand of the head frightening we’re seeing probably something each time from Le now probably makes us more excited probably

One of the most devastating punchers we’ve ever produced um certainly at this level in this stage where he is in his career that body shot was was extraord it was unbelievable what a shot and you hear it up close in personal you see it Testament Jose Felix had never like

That’s that’s one of the balest and bravest man I’ve seen like how he got off from that body shot and again got off from the the head shot that that then ultimately finished it like he still wanted to go on and still had like

A lot of Fate he is a true warrior Frank Smith obviously has said in theed aftermath and I think you probably may be a similar opinion to me he wants to do party and Le next and my sort of question to him was at the start of the

Week it it was down the line obviously the last couple of days it seems to be the pressure is they want to do it next would you be the opinion that the Island’s big enough for two the party could obviously roll the South if Katy retires this year if obviously Mick

Doesn’t continue on Le is one to sort of come through as well would that be a fair s let it brief but let it Bild rather than sort of pushing it on everybody I can see everyone’s point of view I think I think uh discussions have

To be had in the next two weeks but I see I see what what Frank is saying I see what the owner saying you know I can see what also people here are saying see seeing all sides and this it’s a fantastic fight whether it’s next weather two fights where you know push

Down the line it’s a fantastic fight both guys are building the trajectory is high the uh people talking about them the prospects are talking about them they’re coming through their careers and different times and different stages both have been always loed highly in Irish boxing it’s a fate that really can

Of grip imagination of the people and Frank sees that he he ultimately knows that he felt that this week and I think that’s what’s made him really want to do it more sooner rather than later because he must he does feel the People Want it

As much as much as he does so it’s something sit down talk talk about the next two weeks um we do have a date planned in the summer for loose um in the S and we’ve got a pencil so that’s that’s the target for for obviously party were you sort of

Surprised like it seemed to be that they couldn’t sort of missed tonight obviously it was very economical it was sort of wasn’t missing really much and then her error just sort of just seemed to be another one of these typical ones it can through the worst hurt party and

It looked like party looked to be hurt to the body was it sort of surprising you to sort of go you maybe didn’t expect maybe tonight that they sort of have to grind down the gum a bit and come through it oh but you just never

Know they live opponents p d who brings a lot of these guys in he’s a fantastic manager fantastic agent he can he can spot talent and he was telling me this is a tough night for party he was going to push him and he did just that he

Wasn’t going to roll over and and again he didn’t he just he was there he had found a home for the backand of the body and he seemed to be landing it a well and there was a bit of uh uh two tough rounds probably had to come through but

Again he would have learned more from that fight than than any of the fights previous because he was able the greatest thief and then and produce a fantastic finish and obviously Kurt Walker seems to be that opponents just seem to be now that I think he said to

Me afterwards he’s going to get these Olympic rings taken off because I think they see the Olympic rings and just puts a Target on Kurt but you’ve seen Darwin Martinez obviously fighting Conor Quinn were you sort of surprised obviously how strong and how tough it was tonight no

Because I felt he had more gears in him when he F kind win and this was you know this was a fight where he could really let his hands go you he and he did just that and good because Kurt thought I think he was going to get a be Tippy

Toppy move around and and he wasn’t he was in a fight and and he did that because people got to see another side of C Walker that they haven’t seen and there was good fighting inside and there was it looked like he was punching really hard and he was sitting down on

The shot a lot more and he was showbo so you gave exactly what the crowd wanted to see as well and sets everything up now for the end of March we’re hoping to announce something again in the next 7 to 10 days um but we have we have booked the uler

Hall we are looking at the 30th of March we are looking at C Walker or headline act and we’re looking at his first ttle fit is the typical obviously because his first taste of action ever in the oler hall tonight from obviously watching he’s there for the first time tonight

He’s got his run out over six rounds and now he’s going to go straight on the headline the card like what was that maybe he he was going to get a tyy tappy one because I knew it was coming up um I guess this prepares him well for that

Obviously and seeing the reaction at leou and part was was getting tonight he’s able to enjoy and Su in the atmosphere yeah no listen him and hit was a testament but they’ve done a very very short space of time because that was a high Tempo six rounds and I don’t

Think any of us really wanted that kind of tempo that kind of risky fight but the lads show be why they they they didn’t see it was a a problem you know really short notice really really short notice Christmas coming off the back of Christmas yeah I was very very happy

With that performance but it does set things up and and as H want why H wanted to kind of go out so early is to keep him in the gym for the year and make this year a big year and a big statement and it was good to do in front the match

Him impressed there also I know you like to tease things out so I’m not going to ask OB as an opponent for Kurt y but who else are really likely to see in the card Kevin K obviously same mcon boxing recently good friend of mine obviously

I’ve given good advice in the past I think I’ve sort of steered him in your direction so I take a week backand there somewhere obviously I’m guessing you’re probably going to get Kevin K on that card 30th of March well I think Mick is working on something with Tom nor and

Trying to get him on some parties day Madison Square Garden um and if that’s if that’s not doable probably look at doing something yeah here is that the K Mard yeah K Mard I’m not sure where he is with it at this moment in time but um

Yeah I definitely know him and as well as Sal who who runs the garden Mel has contacted them about getting Kev on that so it would be good be fantastic Carrie has is a big big uh XA community in New York loads of well obviously loads of AR

Over for for for um for static day so he would really really really enjoy that there and want to taste first fight with with his would be in mson Square Garden it would be yeah be be a big big move big statement and and omegel is working pretty heavily on that obviously

Michael’s first signing sort of as well and he’s going let’s throw the red carbo here and get Kevin Cronin where obviously I was that it’s sort of then putting the pressure I guess obviously the two are together we call them boxing but people men go well I want to say

Obviously I don’t want to be with with Jimmy because Jimmy be fight in the olar hall M will take me to Madison Square Garden but I guess probably that shows the intent and the belief it probably hasn’t Kevin he wants to they sort of show him the other side of boxing that

He hasn’t seen yet yeah definitely like and again we’re hoping for Kat’s card as well we’re speaking with Tom Dallas and there’s a lot of interest there there’s one fight there PES everyone and we’re hoping at that we’ve been speaking about something in carry and Craig McCarthy

Has been mentioned so the world is is oyster at this one time of cabin it’s just about getting the ball rolling and if and if it could potentially go to m Garden it would be be perfect but yeah the rest of the card we have two other

Title fights that we’re looking to do we’re just fines and any domestics yes definitely a domestic we have one or two of them I know you love a domestic fight obviously and and you sort of chip in the May or something go what do you think of us so domestic fights are

Obviously what what takes people to the next level I guess as well yeah no we’ve got one we’ve got a good super Bandon with domestic one here so um speaking about the the the representative manager so so yeah um we’re hopeful to get that over Lane get that done and get that in

Next week also or next 10 days also so yeah I know you don’t obviously you don’t manage Sean obviously Sean mccom obviously he supped to be on the card tonight may look maybe get him out on the aler hall card in March I guess he sacrificed some of Christmas obviously I

Know he’s with Le eaten um but but obviously with that sacrifice he sort of made we maybe look at seeing if he’s going to be ready for those to hold March we’ll see we’ll see we’ll have a look at it at the minute it’s it’s a small enough card and and we’re looking

At I’m not sure what Le has planned I do need to speak to him about a few other things so definitely be bringing up Shan cuz Shawn in the city is is one of our leading lats and if it’s a potential to get him on the card 100% because he

Always delivers look I said I keep it short just over 10 and a half minutes thanks very much for your time as always and I’m sure we’ll catch up with you soon cheers more it’s good to see another go
