smith343 By Conor Farrelly: Paul Smith Junior (35-3) challenges WBO Super-middleweight Arthur Abraham (40-4) on the 27th of September in Kiel Germany.

This is a fight which has raised certain eyebrows within boxing circles. The question of whether Paul Smith Junior is worthy of this opportunity is not an area which I will develop upon.

Any boxer who decides to enter a boxing ring will always have my respect. Michael Watson and Gerald McClellan are examples of the devastating consequences which come about from entering the ring.

Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg: Someone’s ‘O’ has got to go

By Conor Farrelly: Carl Frampton the newly crowned IBF Super Bantamweight Champion (19-0) and Scott Quigg the WBA “Regular” Super Bantamweight Champion (28-0-2) is a match made in heaven. If this fight was to materialize it would symbolize what is right in boxing.

The boxing politics which has stopped so many mouth-watering match ups cannot stop a fight which would promise to be a blockbuster within Ireland and the United Kingdom. Eddie Hearn and Barry McGuigan must put “the people” aka the fans at the forefront of their thoughts, as fighting men both Quigg and Frampton would take the fight in a heartbeat.
