Joe Joyce Jr V Martin O Donnell.

That was woeful.

How seriously do they take these fights? Don't think I've seen any where either fighter looks in any sort of decent shape.

From a reading of the act the mention of consent is restricted to Section 1(b). there is no mention of consent in Section 1(a) so i dont think what you say about it not being assault is correct. Section 2(c) might give them an out if you assume that bating the head off each other is " generally acceptable in the ordinary conduct of daily life" for the people involved.

How exactly do you think sparring goes down in boxing gyms?

What about a game of hurling? Surely if someone hits me with a weapon (hurl), that's assault?
Or rugby - what if someone tackles me and I fall and hurt myself. Assault.

It couldn’t possibly be assault as no punches were landed and barely any were even thrown.

Could possibly be an unwanted sexual advance with all the hugging that went on.

Is there a crime associated with the flagrant display of unnatural amounts of back hair?

Not true in fairness.

Our very best boxers are/were not travellers.

They do very well up to a point but I'm still waiting for someone to show me a traveller who can dig their heels in when the going gets tough.

Another thing (folk who have boxed only can answer) why can none take a body shot?

Tyson Fury?

Anyone got any good videos.

From my reading of it the “without the consent of the other” applies to both section 2(1)(a) and 2(1)(b).
I know the word Or is used but I read this to mean that consent applies to either/or subsection A and B, as both are followed with the “without the consent of the other” before the subsection finishes and force is defined.

I believe section 2(c) is used to cover the type of behaviour that in other life may constitute assault. The example used in college being the jostling in a crowd that ought reasonably be expected at a football match or whatever.

It is very possible you are correct. I have opened a thread on the legal discussion forum about this so as not to sidetrack this thread.

Reminds me of the time paddy " monkey face" ward took a bite out of Johny " girrafe neck" Nevin at the start of a fight and then tore off across three fields, two graveyards and a tesco carpark with the crowd chasing him most of the way shouting " your no good"

Young Joe was up in court this morning and posted a live video

https://www.facebook.com/ellen.joyce.568/videos/1427637657366461/

Apparently the ones who reported him are sumbags. According to the comments, they should be burnt out for going to the Gards.

I think the last fight settled differences so don't think there is a rematch being asked for by either fighter.

That could change though.

Will everyone calm down, RTE had that xfactor talent show thing on (not sure on the details, open to correction).

They were doing damage control with John Connors wife on singing. Classy. I would say if she didnt make the grade, there would have been tyres slashed in the carpark. Now you are free to make your own choice .... no intimidation there.
