Since the days when The Clones Cyclone had the country glued to the tv i’ve been keeping an eye on Irelands best fighters. One of our best in recent years has been Ulsterman Wayne McCullough who, at 34 and with only 2 competitive rounds fought within the last two years, was taking on champion Oscar Larios in his bid to land the WBC super-bantamweight title this morning in California. Sadly, despite a brilliant effort over 12 rounds, McCullough lost on points to the champ. All credit though to McCullough for coming back and giving it another go after his beating at the hands of WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison two years ago. I hope this is not his last attempt but at 34 this may just be the end for Wayne.
Update: McCullough to fight on.
