Okay, the action is getting close to starting in Dublin, and I think we have Tony Oakey's defence of his British Light Heavyweight title coming up first.

[superheavyrhun]

Magee is given a decent reception on his short ringwalk...though many of the seats around the ring still look empty at the moment. Oakey coming in to the ring to a much more subdued welcome, to his favourity "oakey cokey" music. He just hopes that Magee won't be dancing at the end. Boom Boom. Next up it's fight time.
