With the dust settled on what was the biggest fight in Irish boxing between Belfast puncher Lewis Crocker & Limerick stylist Paddy Donovan - a classic Irish tale was setup to deliver - and it didn’t disappoint. The build up had been raucous, the comments went back and forth between the camps and then the first bell came…..

On episode 230 we’re joined by Irish boxing legend Wayne McCullough & his new protege Mathew Tyndall to talk about all the goings on. Wayne knows how it feels to fight in front of a partisan crowd in Belfast & in Dublin - and indeed many other places.

Listen as the lads give their thoughts on the fight, as Mathew makes a big announcement about his future promotional plans & eventual move to America.

In episode 229 Ian & Al have a look back over the greatest fight card in history featuring Callum Smith v Josh Bustsi, Zhelie Zheng v Agit Kabayel, Virgil Ortiz jr v Israil Madramov, Carlos Adams’s v Hamsa Shiraz, Shakur Stevenson v Josh Padley & the new main event Joseph Parker v Martin Bakole.

A truly incredible card with no shortage of talking points.

And with Ian on his way to cover the biggest domestic Irish battle in many years - the lads preview Lewis Crocker v Paddy Donovan.

When John Cooney began his professional career 4 years ago we knew he was special. AL says in this episode “I never needed to hear or see John to know he was in the room” - that goes a long way to describing the presence he had.

He won the BBBoC Super Featherweight Celtic title in just his 10th professional fight, stopping Liam Gaynor in the first round on the Taylor V Cameron undercard & announced himself to the boxing powers.

We fully expected to follow John’s career all the way to the very top of the game - so to have to look back over his life & career cut WAY too short is a hurt too hard for words.

How was that for an encore from Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano? And also, how about some more controversy?

Just like their first fight, Taylor and Serrano delivered another instant classic Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Taylor outlasted Serrano to remain the undisputed super lightweight champion. After 10 epic rounds, all three judges scored the fight 95-94 for Taylor, despite Taylor having a point deducted by referee Jon Schorle.

So after 2 epic fights, 20 titanic rounds boxing fans would hope, EXPECT sporting behaviour, right? As is customary in this great sport - hugs, compliments and beef settled - the better man/woman wins - you congratulate them. Not in this case, whinging, moaning and cries of cheat came from Serrano's coach [brother in law] Jordan Maldonado and indeed Serrano herself. Backstage Katie and her team were being railroaded into a media ambush - until manager Brian Peters stepped in.

All in all - an exhausting but exhilarating night of boxing that left Irish boxing fans "Walkin in a Katie Wonderland". Ian and Al are joined on this episode by renowned Irish cut man Tommy McCormack to discuss the fight and all that ensued - we have highlights of the fight itself and a word from the GWOAT Clarissa Shields.

There is no better way to describe Katie Taylor than in the words of Irish legend and former WBC world champion Christina McMahon "Katie Taylor - she just NEVER lets us down”As we prepare for the second wave of a war for the ages Ian & Al look towards what could be another classic boxing match that already sits alongside the classics. Katie Taylor has had to dig deep many times in her history making career, and Amanda Serrano was one of this occasions, but not the only one! What will we get this time around? Who knows but in this episode the lads look back over Katie’s recent fights & prepare what could possibly be one of the last fights of her career. 

We also welcome Shauna O’Keefe who is making huge waves with her latest win coming over Valgerdur Gudsteinsdottir on the massive Callum Walsh card at Dublin’s 3Arena. In a boxing news exclusive, Shauna tells Enswell Boxing that she has just signed a management deal with one of the biggest names in the game. Spencer Brown, the man guiding Tyson Fury for the last number of years will now be the one to guide Shauna to the titles we hope and believe she can win.
