But before play got underway, both teams had to stand for their respective national anthems. Only problem? There was no music meaning that both teams had to perform acapella.

COYBIG!

    Duffy is going to be big, last man to beat McGregor and Parke, that KO in his last fight was world class.

    Genuine question, why isn’t Neill Seery someone to watch in 2015?
