I have no doubt you’ll love the atmosphere at the Rogan fight. They love their boxing up in the North. I just hope Dave Parris isn’t the referee this time.

Be sure to ask if you need some info on any Irish fighter. I’ll be only too glad to fill you in.

If I need any info on Irish fighters, I’ll be bending your ears Dave.

Looking forward to experiencing the partisan Rogan crowd, I imagine it’ll be lively to say the least, wonder what they’ll make of three merry Geordies in ‘Rogie’ T-Shirts?…..!!

Home advantage is crucial I think here. Thai’s don’t generally perform well away from home and to further that point, Poonsawat’s only defeat came away from home. Plus, the Dublin crowd really does raise Dunne up a level. I think the crowd got into Cordoba’s head and lifted Dunne to rally in the fifth when Dunne was down twice and looked to be on his way out.

The Thai is also quite small so I think if Dunne stays on the outside and boxes to an intelligent gameplan (his trainer Harry Hawkins is a master tactician) he can win this on points.

But I have no doubt that there’ll be stages in this fight that I’ll be watching through my fingers!!!

Well Dave, after writing the above schedule out I had a bit of a brainwave, I thought I’d attend EVERY domestic card in October and write about it.

Got to work Thursday after lengthy diplomatic discussions with the missus (how do you explain you want to go galavanting for a month?!!) and got tickets for the lot………..I’ve had to twist my mate’s arms to come along to different cards, fitting them in so that I’m not trekking about on my todd!!

I couldn’t believe it yesterday (after I’d spent an entire evening buying tickets online) when I saw they’d slotted in Moore-Rhodes on the only spare weekend I had, 23rd………..but what could I do? I’m in too deep now so I’m going to that too!! Just hoping I don’t sicken myself off by the time November rolls around.

Think I’m most looking forward to Rogie-Sexton, hope Martin can pull it off, he’s certainly up for it.

I like Sutherland, think he’s the best of the young SM’s, although he’s older than Jeffries, DeGale et al isn’t he? I don’t imagine DeGale will want to go near him for the foreseeable.

I don’t remember having it so good on the UK fight scene, the recession has obviously forced the promoters to up their games, win-win for us eh?

Elsewhere, a mouthwatering clash between Andy Lee and John Duddy looks set to happen in my hometown of Limerick sometime around November. Duddy’s camp are reportedly playing hardball at the moment, but hopefully they’ll see sense and accept Brian Peters’ offer. Duddy’s going no place at the moment and needs a big win to revitalise his career.

Also looking forward to seeing how Darren Sutherland will progress. I’m of the opinion that he’s carrying too much bulk at the moment and could end up being another Jeff Lacy. A real shame if that happens to a man of Sutherland’s talents. But we shall see.
