IRISH PROFESSIONAL BOXER John Joe Nevin has been told by doctors at the Midlands Regional Hospital that both his legs are broken.
The Olympic silver medallist was attacked in Mullingar on Saturday.
It was first confirmed that his right leg was fractured in two places but today scans have shown his left leg is also broken.
Nevin will be confined to a wheelchair for some time, his management say.
The super featherweight had been trying to stop a fight between his uncle and his uncle’s two sons when he was attacked, his promoters said at the weekend. A man was arrested and released without charge on Sunday.
I don’t think it’s good television at all!! Supporting this team especially over the last 18 months or so, is not doing my coronary health any favours at all. Still a win is a win and as Henderson says, time to not be putting themselves in that position
@my name: 18 months ??? Bandwagon supporter
@Scott Stonebridge: read it again scotty, slowly this time
@my name: haha …… gone fishing….
@Scott Stonebridge: good one. Anymore ?
@my name: I’m definitely not going to die of a heart attack.
With the stronger defense, I would like to see a return of the expansive football. Especially against the weaker teams.
@Logan Shepherd: I agree logan. But until that actually happens, this edge of the seat football is taking a toil. I’m not as young as I was pal
@my name: Tons but I wouldn’t want to make it personal now
@Scott Stonebridge: sound man
The Liverpool team of the 80’s won many points and /or games in the last five minutes .Its the sign of a great team . There’s nothing to worry about .
Hes right. It’s great but it wont always get them over the line. They have shown great resilience this year since the start if the season but I cant help but feel they need to annihilate a few teams in the league to get them going. The margin for error is so small now with the quality of city. So these close games becoming tonregular will inevitably end up in costly draws. Only a few draws cost us last year. Man they they are good to watch doh.
@Seaniecp: Yup. Pinball for Pinheads!
That 10 point lead(game more played but still 10!) lost last year still in their heads methinks.
@HerbMancini: top of the premier league. Top of their champions league table too. Yes definitely in their head
