What a Night; Macklin vs Campas. With Pics n Vid
This Saturday 22nd of March, Matthew Macklin is faced with a new proposition. The third member of the active trinity of Irish Middleweights Macklin is set to face the vastly expierienced and battle hardened Luis Ramon Campas, better known as Yori Boy. Macklins own professional record of 20 wins and 2 losses pales in comparison to the 102 fights of the vastly expierienced Mexican.
Macklin, who will be headlining a bill promoted by top Irish promoter Brian Peters, is looking to win this fight emphatically. In doing so he would not only be solidifying his status as a class fighter, but also surging toward becoming a household name in the land of his ancestors. Having recently left the Phoenix Camp in Manchester, England (led by Billy Graham) Macklin has been taken under the wing of famed trainer Buddy McGirt. He expressed his pleasure at this xchange yesterday; "I feel I need to get back to using my boxing skills a bit more and I think Buddy is the perfect trainer for that. You only have to look at how he turned Arturo Gatti around from a brawler to a boxer to see the kind of infleunce he can have on a fighter."
In the past year we have seen fighters such as John Duddy take on expierienced fighters who's age has limited their fighting abilities in order to avail of their expierience. Macklin realises that this fight will provide him with an education on what it will take at the top level. "Campas will bring the best out in me. -He's been in with everyone. Fighting those sort of guys gives you the buzz you need to perform at your best." Macklins two sole losses, to Jamie Moore and Andrew Facey have been nearly erased from memory through his disposal of the durable Allessio Furlan in 7 rounds (3 quicker than John Duddy.) However, with a fighter like Campas the hyped young Macklin must proceed with caution.
At 36 Campas is past his best and with 11 losses now eked on his record he is not the formidable fighter he once was. What he does present is a rough tough fight for any fighter. In fighting Campas, Macklin is stepping into the ring with a fighter who has shared the ring with fighters such as Felix Trinidad, Oscar De la Hoya, John Duddy, Matt Vanda, Oba Carr and Daniel Santos. He has the type of career which spans generations and he has learned from each and every round. With 91 wins to his credit and 73 wins by early stoppage, Campas is a threat to the rising star of Macklin and must be dealt with due caution. A win would surely merit Macklin a wealth of new ideas and thoughts as well as a boost to his credability, but a loss could be devastating.
The fight will be held in Dublin's National Stadium this Saturday. Brian Peters has prepared an entertaining card which includes the exciting Cuban heavyweight Ismaikel Perez, the debut of popular Irish amateur Ian Timms and an array of potentially thrilling fights. This card is another step forward in the ressurgence of professional boxing in Ireland and one must assume that with the wealth of talent no presenting itself it's future is secure.
Read on to see how it turned out!

Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
Should be a good fight. Havn't seen Macklin since he got pummelled by Jamie Moore ironically on the same weekend that Duddy and Campas were having their own Battle Royale.
This is a pick em fight imo. Campas got beaten easily by Asikainan last time out but he is a fringe world class fighter so doesn't really compare to the Macklin task.
His controversial win over Bravo is probably the best form to go by.
I say this goes the distance and Macklin wins a very hard fought decision, or Campas' power catches up with him and stops him in the late rounds.

Yeah I agree Bilbo, I believe it plays out similarly to Duddy eastman, a close drain out battle of wills.
Should it occur this way I feel it is essential that Macklin learn to pace his output early, so as not to expend himself the way he did against Moore as Campas is not too old to capitalise.
He was a good fighter in his day

I never caught the Duddy Eastman, not often I miss a fight but for some reason that one passed me by.
I must admit I thought Eastman would be too smart for Duddy,
Has Macklin fought since the Jamie Moore fight? I never even realised he was Irish, I always thought he was a Manc like Ricky Hatton
-
Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
Duddy Eastman was so close it was almost controversial.
Matt has fought three times since Moore. Beating, Udalov, Darren Rhodes and Allessio Furlan. All stoppages.
Furlan in particular was a rugged customer, but Macklin Knocked him out in 8, two rounds earlier than Duddy did.
Matt's parents are Irish and he spent a lot of his childhood her and holidays here regularly. He became very Irish after the Moore loss fighting two of his three fights since in Dublin.

I remember Furlan giving Duddy a tough time although I think Duddy has been pretty much exposed now.
It's a shame that a year or so ago Irish boxing was in great shape with Bernard Dunne, Duddy and Andy Lee.
Now Dunne has fallen by the wayside and Duddy looks ripe for the taking.
I've not seen much of Andy Lee but I know he's got a big step up fight this month on ESPN I think?
What did you think of Martinez being upset a couple weeks ago? Wonder what that says about Bernard Dunne? I hope he comes back because I love watching Irish fighters. No fans are more passionate, and no crowds produce better atmospheres than the Irish.
Dunnes fight against Esham Pickering, the crowd were amazing. Just wish they had a fighter to really give them the success their support deserves.

Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
Lee fight Rubio on ESPN, I actually think it could be on the same bill as pavlik Lockett.
I still feel Irish boxing is on a high. There are numerous young amateurs breaking through that are way better an dmore exciting than their predecessors. There are more cards now than ever before and the press have finally copped on.
Dunne was always going to get beat by a puncher. Walstad and Voronin nearly finished him and there are claims he was complacent before Martinez. Martinez in turn was always going to be beaten by a good boxer with a chin, He's just lucky he didn't get over confident and got to world level!
Dunne's comeback is Aparil 12th, I'll be covering it and checking out all angfles. It's in a weird location, Castlebar's Breaffy House, which is odd, but it's convienient for me!
Lee really is the man that we should hang our hopes on but Dunne and Duddy are the medias favourites.

Looking forward to seeing Lee. i really like Bernard Dunne however, exciting fighter and brings one hell of a crowd.
I'd love to see him move up and fight Derry Matthews, that would be a great English/irish rivalry fight and as Matthews is a dirty scouse twat I'd be rooting for Dunne :)

Yeah, the Lee/Rubio fight should reveal a lot about his character as well as his skills. Big Step up.
Dunne was hyped like no other Irish fighter in my memory. He appealed to the Dublin GAA fans, along with the rugby fans, so he drew a huge crowd. The placement of his next fight in Mayo, more than a hundred miles from Dublin will be a test of his poularity I guess.
He finds it incredibly difficult to make Super Bantam so I wouldn't question his physiques ability to do featherweight. What I would question is his chin.
Oh and Micky Ward is Dunnes new trainer.

Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
The fact that Yory Boy is fighting 1 month after he's been BADLY TKO'd by Amin tells me a few things.
1. Yory Boys just trying to make a living now.
2. He's become a gate keeper.
3. He needs to retire before he's serisouly hurt.

Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
I'll be there, representing you Saddo's and hopefully getting a bit of an insiders look at this fight!

Re: Preview; Matthew Macklin vs Ramon Yori Boy Campas.
I'm flying to Dublin from Galway, why would I fly a 30 minute flight?
Because some of the fighters are on the plane;D
Staying in the North Circular Road, 10 minutes above the South Circular Road and the National stadium. (The accomodation beside the stadium is notoriously poor. I stayed there for some amateur bouts, they're terrible!)
Was hoping Buddy McGirt would be there, but he's probably with Tarver right now.
Still, Bernard Dunne should be there, as well as Duddy, Carruth, Cruz-Hernandez and a few others.

Dublin's National Boxing Stadium was the venue. The word's first venue dediaed to our noble sport, built way back in the 30's was scrubbed up well for an immensely enjoyable night of boxing....

The first bout of note was the professional debut of popular local Ian Timms. This Cruiserweight enjoyed a warm reception and plenty of encouragement on his debut in which he scored a Points decision over four against opponent Klaids Kristapasons. Although commonly viewed as a "jobber" Kristapasons showed up to fight and attempted the upset. Timms, still demonstrating some amateur traits dealt with him howeer over the four rounds.....

ollowing the Timms win I felt it was time to approach a man who knows the Irish boxing game inside out. Jim Rock was attending on belhalf of RTE. The former Light Middleweight, Middleweight ans Super Middleweight Irish Champion was on hand to discuss his own career, the fights on the night and all related to boxing.
Meting Jim again confirmed he's a gentleman who knows his boxing.
Apoloies for the dopey photo but Jim had me laughing my head of as the photo was taken

In a change to the schedule, Andrew Murrays bout was drawn forward. This exciting Light Welter was due to face James Gorman, but in yet aother change was opposed by England's Leonard Lothian.
This highly entertaining scrap was stopped in the 3rd with Lothian failing to leave his corner for the fourth round.
Murray improves to 10-0-0 with 4 Ko's and impressed many in attendance.

In Perhaps the most interesting bout of the night, hot prospect "Mike" Perez faced off against Tomasz Zeprzalka.
There are a number of potent ingredients which contribute to the marketability of this young man. The first is his weight; Heavyweight, in addition he is Cuban; and a highly succesful amateur, now trained by Nicolas Cruz Hernandez.
Having adopted Cork, Ireland as his home, this youing man is extremely popular already and hype already surrounds his presence. His extremely lean frame, stands below the six foot mark and in contrast to his ring persona, in conversation Perez is a very modest, amiable young man.
In the ring, he uses his size as a small heavy to operate in a slick defence and he systematically beat the much larger Pole, putting him to the canvas several times on route to a casual points victory.

Circling the ringside area once again I encountered one of Ireland's premier pugilistic talents in Bernard Dunne.
Promising a sucesful comeback on April 12th and being extremely accomodating to all questions put to him, Bernard is a guy that deserves all of the fan support and prootion he receives, a truely nice guy.

After this Photo, Bernard like a true boxing fan cheered on a gym compatriot, Leon Senior to his second victory.
Baring more than a passing resemblance to current Middleweight King Kelly Pavlik, this Light Heavyweight (listed as a SuperMiddleweight on boxrec.) showed flashes of work which illustrated the potential to produce a good craftsman.

The crowd, not capacity, but of a nice size made plenty of noise....
Celebrities were announced, Dave "Boy" McCauley, Bernard Dunne, Jamie Moore, Nicolas Cruz, Ricky Hatton and plenty more....(video to insert later)
Chants rose from the crowd, Macklin Wonderland became a chant, the crowd whirled into a frenzy as acklin and Campas entered to two contrasting ballads Born i the USA and the fields of Athenry (video to insert later)

Macklin started of hot, focusing on the jab...It hadn't been hype or lies, he came here to box not brawl, the quick jab on the outside, a good uppercut on the inside and improved head movement were all immediatly apparent.

Re: What a Night; Macklin vs Campas. With Pics n Vid
Great pics Donny. Nice to see Ricky made the trip over to Ireland to support his pal.
It seems from your's, Micks and Prides pics that most boxer are incredibly friendly and happy to get their pictures taken with you guys.
Says a lot about the friendly inclusive nature of the sport I think that most of the stars are so approachable and friendly,
Good pics!

Campas having lost the initial three rounds put a lot of effort into the middle rounds and Macklin did well to stick to McGirts strategy of moving and jabbing, these rounds took a toll on both men and amazingly when hit Campas laughed fiercely daring Macklin to engage further.

"Smoke" still lingered in the air from the dry Ice used for the fighters entrances. Accompanied by the cocophany of sound supplied by the relatively small crowd, one could easily mistake the national stadium for any dingy club in the 50's. The fact that the action in the ring had the crowd completely enthralled erely added to the atmosphere.
Campas invested heavily in the rounds between 5 and 8. The referee had little trouble with the two who were simply keen to fight and apart from one punch that landed after the bell it was a clean yet brutal affair.

The Championship rounds heralded some tense moments....
Macklin's face burned red with effort, Campas sought to up the tempo. Mcklins father and I screamed at Macklin to stick to the jab and move style which had been so succesful. It seemed we were the only ones as the crowd bayed for a big finish.
Macklins second wind arrived in the eighth/ninth....is movement returned to it's best and the jab became super efective.

As the fighters agony ended Campas seemed as happy as Macklin, he paraded around the ring as if he anticipated victory. I reassured Macklin Sr. that Matthew had taken the fight. He had been too slick for the aged warrior, he had boxed a man who could manage most brawlers and had been highly succesful.....
As the scores were announced (98-95) Macklin....the crowd once again broke into chants. Smiles were excahnged between the promoter Brian Peters and trainers, McGirt looked satisfied and a smile was plastered along the battle scarred face of Ireland's Matthew Macklin.

Re: What a Night; Macklin vs Campas. With Pics n Vid
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the night.
The fights were entertaining, the crowd warm and the fighters friendly.
I have to thank Jane W and Curtis McC.
They were more help than I could have imagined.
Watch the front page for the write up.
Oh.....Big up to Brian Peters too....not only did he put on a great show, he treated press as VIP's.
Will add the vids later....
I've got some Perez rounds with knockdowns.,
some Murray rounds,
Macklin & Camapas entrance,
Some of the Dub chants and some footage of Hatton being mobbed by fans and making time for every single one.
