Elegant Nolan to give fight fans a treat

Even among all the Olympians and multiple champions one man stood out at this year’s Elite Boxing Championships in the National Stadium — Wexford’s Adam Nolan.

Elegant Nolan to give fight fans a treat

Tall for a welterweight, the Bray-based Garda personifies the science of boxing. Stylish and elegant yet with enough power to make sure an opponent can’t just walk through him. And courage. The courage of a matador as he invites more bullish opponents in close, then eludes their charge with a neat sidestep, picking up a point or two with his deadly jab.

Nolan is one of 11 Irish Elite boxers who will be in action in the Rochestown Park Hotel against a top French team this evening as part of preparations for the Europeans later this month. If you like your boxing, be there. A rare treat for Cork and Munster fight fans.
