Ole Ole Oleā¦
Can we have that song earsed from the national memory please???
Great win though. Savage performance.
3 guaranteed medals, really shows the work being done on the boxing side is paying off.
Maybe we should shelve this Athletics lark and focus on the boxing. Fair play to him. Great win.
Lads, canāt say Iām all that up on all things boxing but just wondering what are the chances of these 5 lads staying amateur for London in 2012?
Alistair Cragg looks like he was nowhere in the 5000m as well.
Cragg has gone to the dogs altogether.
Good win for Sutherland, yer man looked bollixed half way through. Good footwork on the boy Sutherland, heās not bad.

looked like it was 6th or 7th I think
6th I think but dont know if thats good enough for him.
6th
6 2041 CRAGG Alistair Ireland 13:38.57
6th place, not good enough to qualify?
Sutherland was class, utterly in control. Thought it would be a much wilder fight than that, the Venezualan lad didnāt box well at all.
Mac: Sutherland is definitely turning pro after these games. Thatās always been his plan and heās got that style of fighting.
Egan will stay amateur because thatās what suits him. Heās a very good technical boxer. Donāt know about Joyce, Nevin and Barnes but theyāre all very young and Nevin in particular is only a kid and doesnāt look cut out for the pro game, yet anyway.
Hi might make it if the orther race is slower.
Qualification: First 4 in each heat(Q) and the next 3 fastest(q) advance to the Final.
If no more than one runner outside the top four does a better time in the second semi.
Looks like itāll be 2 Ireland vs England boxing semi finals
What is it about Irish Boxers with weird accents? Sutherland has some weird voice on him! Some boxer though.
Does anyone know if Billy Walsh is in any way connected to Liam Griffin - they sound the exact same as each other.

This could be a totally stupid question butā¦
Is there any money in amature boxing??
second semi slower, he is in the final.

There are significant grants. So itās possible to be a full-time amateur boxer without being a pro sort of thing. Really suits the likes of Sutherland who is in DCU part-time.
Oops, didnāt realise there was a third heat for thisā¦ heās not there yet so.
14 minutes to wait for thatā¦
Barnes semi-final is 12 on Friday follwed by Egan at 2ā¦
Any idea is Sutherland up Friday as wellā¦ would need to be i suppose as the Finals are Sunday
