Brawl at Brownlow weigh in news
June 24 Brendan Galbraith
Former Irish amateur star Eamonn O’Kane arrived with manager Francie McNicholl to weigh in with tough Belfast man Tommy Tolan in their co-feature bout. Both Tolan and O’Kane looked is great shape and this bout promised to be an intriguing contest. O’Kane is well known for enjoying a tear-up but will have to tread carefully to avoid Tolan’s concussive firepower.
Eamonn O’Kane (1-0) 11 6 10 v Tommy Tolan (4-4)11 10 8
Marc McCullough 8 13 6 (debut) v Eddie Nesbitt (debut) 9 1 6
