Hardwick living the Broadway boxing dream

I WON’T dwell on Simon Zebo here.

There are plenty of better placed writers who have been extolling his virtues in this neck of the woods. He’s made my Blackrock people proud. It’s no surprise.

Hours after he dismantled Northampton and gave Munster and Ireland something new to talk about, I headed to the Roseland Ballroom on West 52nd Street for a night of “Broadway Boxing” promoted by Lou DiBella — the same force of nature behind Micky Ward and March 17’s Sergio Martinez v Matthew Macklin showdown in Madison Square Garden.
