Apologies if theres a thread up on this already,canna see it.
How do you see this panning out ? I saw quite a few of Magee's fights, not so much the current ones. McGuire, a couple of his early ones.
No clue here regarding a winner.
Thoughts
Hairy :bbb
mcguire certainly aint well known in wider boxing circles.he declined me an interview aswell.ive seen two of his fights but i dont know how to call this.

Yep i remember his ol man from the amatuers, he had the squad for Commonwealths in 2002. Surprised he didnt give you an interview, maybe just got his head down to work etc. I dont see any quotes from him in the papers either regarding this scrap, just Gilmour.
Watched most of Mcgee's fights with the IBO title but as said, no clue to a winner.
I read today Mcgee lost the toss regarding ringwalk. I will go with Mcgee actually given his only losses werent exactly bad losses.
Cheers
Hairy :good

always question marks over mcgees punch resistance, but his skills are of a high level, certainly could of gone alot further in his career had his chin not let him down. held his own with froch till the brutal KO.
mcguire doesnt look to have much power, least going purely on his record anyway, but you've got to wonder what mcgees motivation will be like as his career is going nowhere atm, especially when you consider he was competing at european/fringe world level at one point.
Must surely see this as his last chance for some sort of reputable title, so the motivation should be there, but anything other than a win and it'll be retirement time.

Betfair still has the market up for Magee v McGuire.
Incidentally they have Magee a very short priced favourite at 1.23 (2/9) which is a slight surprise given McGuire's unblemished record. The price may reflect McGuire's lack of public profile and I admit I was favouring Magee myself but I may now have a nibble on McGuire with a view to trading once the fight starts.

Grand mate; yourself?
I'm sure I'll give the fight a wee look; I can't see it being a bad one.

Who won Purdy v McDonagh earlier?

McDonagh - was a cracking fight but he just held the edge throughout.
Looked like forcing a stoppage a couple of times late as well.

He's never gonna be world class, but he'll give any below that a decent scrap every time.

I think Tony Dodson and Jermain Mackey(Commonwealth champion) are the 2 names Magee will be looking at in the immediate future.
No doubt Kenny Anderson is a fantastic prospect, but as a ****** fighter it's unlikely he'll be matched with one of the good fighters in Hennessey's stable, not that he couldn't win(with Anderson's power I'd give him a great chance with a bit more seasoning), but ****** rarely deals with other British promoters.
Very good win for Magee tonight, now he can try and look to add the Commonwealth title to the British and see if he can get a European shot sometime next year.

I god damm missed the end of this fight. How did it end and was Maggie good? Hopefully he will fight Dodson in the near future.

Magee floored McGuire twice in the 6th with some nice body shots, in the 7th he started to break McGuire would quality punches to the head, before going back to the body once more in the 8th to win the fight.
He looked very good once he had McGuire hurt but was pretty average before that. He's not the fighter he once was but should still have enough to handle anyone at domestic level. Whether he still has enough to perform at European level I'm not so sure.

Yep he always seems to just fall short at the higher level. Good win for him though.
