Where have you Brits been hiding this kid?
Just checked this out on ESPN, he looks like a good prospect. Certainly must be decent if he caught the eye of Manny Steward when he was still an amateur...

He's an Irish fighter, so the Brits haven't been hiding him. He was controversially eliminated from the Olympics a few years back. He's verrry good
I read a special on him in Boxing News. He's from London... East London infact! :D
Im a bloddy fan now ;D
Brought up in London, but born in Limerick I think.
Anyway, didn't mean to spark up any nationalistic fervour between Ireland and Britain - just merely pointing out that, like the article says, this kid is a well kept secret.
I'm looking forward to seeing him fight, and he seems like a very nice lad.
Im suprised he's regarded as a secret? He's had a fair few boubts over in the U.S...
Andy's a really nice guy, I trained in the same gym as him when he was still an amateur.
He was born in Limerick as were his parents, moved to England and returned to Ireland to learn to box aged 11 or 12.
I would like to see him and Duddy fight right in the center of Ireland.Jesus can you imagine the turnout.
excellent prospect,tall rangy southpaw wit a great jab and decent power,manny said he was beating up jermain taylor in sparring and even let him spar wit wladamir...
Seen this fella fight a few times on undercards over here and he is really good to watch. I never knew he was a middleweight though :P he really doesnt look it - on a tv anyway
.....maybe one of our lazy ass mods would like to combine this with my Andy Lee topic from not so long ago which has videos of him in action? ;D
