  • Dacres fighting Ahmatovic (12-1) on the Wood-Lara card, presumably a ten rounder?

    Junaid Boston on the card as well but didn’t see anything on his opponent - hopefully a decent step up in an 8 rounder or something

      Do like that. Reckon we get Agyarko and Cully there as well most likely?
      I’d imagine so yeah. They’ll surely load up on Irish talent. Agyarko vs O’Sullivan would be a good all-Irish matchup.

I guess that’s the danger of the IBO.
        He’s the one fighter who actually needs an international or intercontinental title.

          Just Boxrec’d him and he looks to have a padded record. Fought Hrgovic though so they can at least compare Dacres performance with that.

            I didn't know anything about him either. Would expect a Dacres points win as per usual. Saw Shane Watson saying on Twitter that they offered quite a few good opponents the chance to fight Dacres for the English (provided the board approved of course) and they turned it down. Dacres looks a useful boxer but surely they'd have hoped he'd be picking up a few more stoppages, can't say I'm drawn to watch his fights if I'm honest.

                Cully-Fierro? Do you reckon he'd beat Berinchyk if they fought? He looks promising.

                  Dacres vs Fisher is a fight I’d be interested in. The loser could still move forward as well, a loss wouldn’t be disastrous at this stage of their careers.

                    They tried to make that fight for the Taylor card in October so no surprise if they revisit that matchup.

                    Yeah I rate Cully, I remember him fighting McGrail in the juniors and it’s a name that stuck with me. Berinchyk would be a considerable step up but it’s a fight he’s capable of winning IMO.

                    • Wasn't Hearn supposed to release a schedule?
