[, Music, ] hello, boxing fans around the world time for joining us once again and talking fighting another episode, talk fight, not to love here with uh my core eccentric band.
We got some special news.
Oh we got great yeah.
We got.
We got a great new fighter and you’re going to love this one because he’s irish, stephen cairns folks, stephen karins uh, this young man, the irish takeover, we’re calling him super light or sorry super feather division, he’s 19 years old man.
He just inked a deal with pro bellum he’s ranked 470th in the world out of 1423 and number two out of two in ireland, guys man, he turned pro about a year ago.
Uh he’s got two wonderful fights man.
His uh first fight was a unanimous decision.
Four rounds against rafael, castillo um again, his next fight was back um, 11 uh, sorry, the 13th of november last year, so he hasn’t been in the ring for a while.
Yet man uh, that was against sylvester agendy, and that was a tko in the first round.
Man – and it was a great uh, great performance on this kids part.
You know this.
Kid is a great you know great young fighter, um great great, you know pro bellum is really picking up these young kids, man, uh they’re, doing they’re they’re, just they’re killing it right now.
Man with the young cats they’re signing – and this is another one man that you got to be on the lookout for uh.
You know he’s enjoyed his superb career at amateur level, uh where he became a seven-time national champion and while also winning a silver medal at the 2015 european championships before he turned pro last year.
Um his debut win over uh castillo last june was followed by that knockout victory over ajati in november and cairns, who is coached by highly respected trainer.
David codwell uh now becomes the latest addition to pro bellum stable.
How how close were those fights together as two pro fights, those two pro fights uh, the first one was in july and uh, the second one was in november, and that was both last year uh and he just inked this deal with pro bellum uh february of This year so uh, we, we haven’t seen him since november uh.
Now, with this uh new promotional signing with pro bellum we’re gon na be able to see this kid uh with you know better options uh for his next fights coming up, and i think we’re gon na see a lot of this kid man he’s.
You know a highly decorated amateur uh another one of these kids has no problem uh, making this transition into the pro ranks.
You know he’s fully encompassed by the best boxers in the business uh through his work with his dad uh uh, sorry through to work with his uh david caldwell uh and tony bellow, and jordan, gill and uh.
The training has been amazing for him.
You know um.
He regularly works alongside the top boxes, who are reigning world champions or competing for european titles.
So he’s no slouch to you know pressure in the ring and uh as as a young kid at only 19 he’s able to handle it and – and you can see in the way that he boxes that uh you know, he’s he’s got a lot to a lot.
A lot to show us still still a little bit to learn, but you know he’s already showing a very good promise at a young age of 19 that um, you know, he’s no he’s no sludge in the ring man and and he’s here to really do this And i think you know he’s already got this speedy start to his professional career with a 2-0 record right now, with those two victories.
What um can you rewind his amateur uh, his amateur stats, uh he’s seven-time national uh champion.
I don’t know exactly.
I couldn’t find exact numbers on what his amateur record was.
If you check out box rack, it just tells you uh, yeah doesn’t doesn’t give an accuracy on the hammer.
Just if you go by.
If you go by what box right says, box right says that he was 40 and 9 with three kos um, you don’t even i wouldn’t even trust box regular.
It’S usually the only reason why i ask is usually when guys are earlier and it’s hard to judge.
You know what they’re gon na be in a couple of years, but if you um right, if you know, if you look at their amateur experience, you can kind of have a good judgment on the on on how they do on on a world-class level.
It doesn’t, you know at the end, when you’re an amateur just because you’re successful as an amateur doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to be successful as a pro, but it does give a good indication of of how you can perform when you’re you know performing against the Best in the world for your age group at the time, at least you know when you, when you fight pro you you’re fighting grown men, no matter what age you are, even if you start young, so so interesting he’s.
You know seven times, uh um irish champion.
He did have some success at the international level and of course you know i got the highlights on my other laptop and um, so i do like his skills.
There’S only two pro fights to look at um yeah, but you know he has experience he has.
He has other fights on here since from when he was like a little kid.
His first couple of programs see the progress um, so yeah man much respect to steven cairns.
How do you properly pronounce it? I guess i guess it’s karen’s or yeah it’d be karen’s.
Um, what he needs to do is come on the show, so we can we’re gon na we’re gon na get this guy on the show for sure man um.
You know uh for sure for sure we’re gon na get this kid on man and honestly yeah.
I do like watching the way this kid fights man uh propellant is is in the hope of accelerating this kid’s quest towards global fame.
I’M telling you right now: man uh, the cork native became the first irishman to solidify himself as an official member of the pro bellum team, while he continues to own his craft in england, under the watchful eye of british boxing giant david conwell man.
So you know this: kid is he’s in there he’s improving every single day man um.
His next opponent has not been named yet uh.
As soon as we find out who it is man, we will let you guys know because, honestly, i want you to watch on.
You know pay attention to this kid um.
You know he’s gained a lot of high level.
Spa uh.
You know attention of high level sponsors and platforms following uh.
You know his his his first two performances here in the pro career uh.
So you know this kid.
He’S been fully, you know he he lives it and he breathes it.
Man he’s around it all the time and uh with these trainers.
Man – and you know pro bellam being in this corner now: they’re gon na push him on the right path and we’re gon na see this kid do good things uh, you know, and only time will tell man.
He looks really good so far under the two fights that he’s already had.
You know, um, there’s always room for improvement.
You know, um he’s still young in his career, he’s still young in his career um.
Judging by what we’ve seen so far, he does have good fundamentals and and can mix it up a little bit so um.
Hopefully he can maintain maintain this as he as he moves up in in a level of competition.
Definitely definitely – and you know what honestly we’re behind him here – man, the taco fight and guys.
I want you to be behind him as well.
