David Bieleski first met Rory McIlroy when they were both 16. When they met again at Portrush almost two decades later, it completed a remarkable tale of redemption.

Last one from New York. On the Taylor-Serrano aftermath, the hidden weigh-in drama, the colourful Irish-Puerto Rican dynamic at MSG, and how ‘the greatest to ever do it’ reached into her past to close the loop against a fellow legend.

The point that Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano have been at pains to make since they were young girls was proven in NYC.

Staying with Maurice for a Katie Taylor fight week is a real challenge. You read his boxing stuff and think, ‘Shit, I’ve gotta keep pace here.’ . And then he drops this bad boy on you.
I asked the Limerick footballers if I could have full access to their game plans, training sessions, review meetings, gym work, coaching discussions and everything else in the lead-up to the Tailteann Cup final. Amazingly, they said yes .

A piece on Johnny Carson’s chair, finding the 1980 All-Ireland hurling final in a New York media museum, and how if you make it in The Garden like Sinatra, you’ve made it everywhere. (Will likely file a separate 5,000-word piece on meeting Kelsey Grammer)

The pressure is on Amanda Serrano to convert her promotional advantages into victory against a confident-looking Katie Taylor.

Last night’s Taylor-Serrano presser cleansed me of the poison that lingered from the Cowboys Stadium clown-show in November. Katie was in rare, fiery form but there were also some lovely human moments between her and Amanda. It’s a special rivalry.

Katie Taylor was in rare, fiery form at Wednesday’s press conference, but she’s game for a trip to Puerto Rico when the dust settles on MSG.
