C'Wealth Games: Irish fighter Paddy Barnes bored by boxing
"It is just holding, jabbing and moving," said the Ulsterman, who won bronze for Ireland at the Beijing Olympics. "It is boring. I really don't like any sport."
Irish light flyweight boxer Paddy Barnes reached the Commonwealth Games quarter-finals on Thursday before revealing he found the sport a bit of a bore. "It is just holding, jabbing and moving," said the Ulsterman, who won bronze for Ireland at the Beijing Olympics. "It is boring. I really don't like any sport." Barnes, representing Northern Ireland in New Delhi, beat Scotland's Iain Butcher at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium on Thursday."I had to move him around a lot. Take nothing away from him, he tried his heart out," Barnes said.
