I don't think any of the boxers are ranked which will make the possibility of medaling even more difficult.

Paddy Barnes and Katie Taylor should both medal - hopefully gold.

If they can match the 3 they got last time it will be a good return.Katie for Gold . I think Nevin is our best chance of a medal after Katie. With a good draw any of the lads are capable of getting a medal but the draw makes a huge difference.All are more than capable fighters but the rankings will make it likely for a tough draws early on.

Since Taylor is ranked she is 1 fight away from a medal.

The same should apply to Barnes. Not entirely sure but the Irish boxers were unable to compete in some of the ranking events therefore ended up being unseeded.

Unless a disaster then Katie should get a medal. But lets prey for Gold. The lads have a bit of a harder time.

Mrs FW's daughters are cousins of Michael Conlan so their Da is going over to support the lad, the bouts haven't been given times yet as far as I know (up to last weekend anyhow) but he is I believe fighting on 30th alright (as per the schedule).

Oh yeah you're right it just gives times for what time each round of competition starts, not the individual bouts.

Don't think the draw is made until Friday so they'll probably put the times of the individual bouts up then.

I've been talking to some boxing coaches.

All 5 men are in with decent chances of medals. The draws will be crucial. In the last Olympics, all of our boxers lost to finalists.

The expectations on KT are huge. Hope she doesn't get nobbled or lets the occasion get to her.

They are all in with a shout, I think. I really like the look of Adam Nolan and think he could do well - he was very impressive in the national seniors in what was a really tough welterweight division.

So am gonna predict Conlan for Gold, Barnes silver and Taylor Gold, Nevin Bronze but nothing for the other two unfortunately

Just spotted this thread. Draws for boxing will be made on Friday after the general weigh ins so a complete schedule or who fights who should be available then and it will look more clearer.

Re rankings it hasn't been stated but JJ Nevin should be seeded as he is ranked number 4 and Darren ONeill may be seeded as he is ranked number 7 (with the 6th ranked competitior not in the games) so should move him to rank 6. Not sure if they will seed top 4 or top 6

Conlan definitely in with a medal chance, not sure I'd be predicting gold however Philliy, but you've heard what you heard so fair enough. Mick Dowling has always sung his praises anyhow anytime I've watched the amateur boxing on telly, so hopefully we all have plenty to shout about with Conlan and the rest of them, fair balls to tem all.

We could have 7 boxers Shocked

Ward to learn fate after late bid for Olympic reprieve

26/07/2012

WESTMEATH boxer Joe Ward will learn this morning if a last minute appeal to make the Ireland team for the Olympic Games was successful.

Ward, who controversially failed to book his ticket for London from the final European qualifiers in Turkey, and his coach Eddie Bolger, have mounted a high powered legal challenge to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in a bid to secure a place in Billy Walsh’s squad.

Westmeath fighter Ward is the highest ranked boxer in Europe not to have qualified for the Games after suffering a shock 18-15 points defeat to Turkish fighter Bahran Mazzafer.

The Irish Amateur Boxing Association mounted numerous appeals including a letter to the President of the International Amateur Boxing Association, Dr Ching-Kuo Wu, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.

However the Olympic Council of Ireland President Pat Hickey last night revealed Ward, a European light-heavyweight champion, has made a spectacular late bid to become and Olympian.

Hickey said: “Everybody wants to be an Olympian so they go to CAS. Joe Ward’s appeal is being heard tonight (Wednesday) at 9.30pm and the verdict is due in the morning.

Hickey added that Ward is undertaking the case himself.

“He has made an appeal directly to CAS. The Olympic Council of Ireland aren’tinvolved and neither are the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

“It is directly against the International Boxing Federation. Because they are involved the International Olympic Committee are involved. Joe has engaged a barrister based here called David Casserly who actually represented Joanna Mills in the appeal over the 400m relay team earlier this month.’’

Hickey said he was unsure of how the verdict would go but expressed hope that Ward would be successful.

“The verdict is due in the morning. My understanding is that if he won there is a Montenegrin boxer that has been selected for the Games in his place. The Montenegrin would go out but apparently that is unsure.

“They didn’t ask us for help or assistance or the Irish Amateur Boxing Association. It is a solo run and now all the legals are involved and when the legals are involved there is little we can do.

“He will either win or lose. Personally speaking I would love to see Joe Ward in the Games. He is a great young athlete and there is not a doubt that the decision made against him in Turkey had great question marks over it. But knowing my experience of appeals it had to happen at that time (Turkey) while it was fresh and hot.

“It is hard to see how it will go given how much time has gone by but I would dearly love to see him in the Games. ”

Cant see it happening though

Actually better off financially staying amateur believe it or not Horsey, wasnt aware that when you turn pro you have to sell so many off the seats in the arena yourself or take the hit yourself financially so unless he is signed up by a big time promoter he's better off getting his 40-50k grant a year from the olympic council/boxing federation(or whatever they are called) and has full usage off a courtesy car for going to training Shocked

It all depends on how far an amateur thinks they can go Philily.If an amateur is willing to have 2 years of making peanuts while moving up the ranks and they believe they will make to be contenders in there division there is most definantly better money to be made long term in the pro's.The seating thing is usually down to the promoters of the card and isn't always used.

Yeah know what you mean and was what I was hinting at about getting picked up by a top promoter(not too many about these days) but even still Barnes when he goes pro will attract a decent crowd of followers at the start but fights 4-9 they will naturally drop off as with most boxers until the level off opposition gets alot better and he'll then most likely be left with location costs etc.. Also forgot to add in the annual medical bill for scans etc that most pro's have to pay themselves can be a major factor in keeping them amateur as well but as you say they have to have the long term aim to believe they can make it

your're spot on what your sayin but at some stage the fighter has to take the plunge and back themselves.Getting a few sponsors on board is the way most lads do it starting out,also an medal at the games andther will be no problem attracting the right people to guide you.
