Youghal’s Steven Packs A Power-Punch On Pro Debut


by JORDAN MCCARTHY


Steven Power out-


scored his opponent by 40-36 to win on his pro- fessional debut in Britain last weekend. The Youghal native


made his first appear- ance - since gaining his pro licence earlier this year – at the Festive Fight Night, held near Wolver- hampton, on Saturday night. He put in a classy performance to beat his experienced opponent,


Michael Mooney, con-


vincingly. Power started out at


the renowned St Col- man’s ABC of Shana- garry. He represented the East Cork outfit over 40 times and was always regarded as an exciting talent. Speaking to the East Cork Journal, Pat O’Brien, secretary at the club in Shanagarry said; ‘‘Steven is the most exciting boxer you could ever have anything to do with. He was always a crowd puller, because


of his sheer power and aggression. Every time Steven fights, you will get a big crowd. He’s very, very exciting. But, a real nice guy as well. He’s an outstanding young man.’’ Pat continued by say- ing; ‘‘We


are looking


forward to having Steven coming back to the club to meet all the young boxers. It’s fantastic for the club. Steven will go a long way – he could go all the way. Even at the St Colman’s tournaments


here in Youghal, every- body would talk about his fight the following day. He’s a tough man but a good guy.


Spe-


cial thanks to the Ho- gan Brothers, who are working as builders


in


England. They sponsor Steven. That is much ap- preciated, I know.’’ Power moved to Eng-


land over two years ago. He currently boxes with RG Boxfit in Bilston and is coached by Robert Wright and Richie Gh- ent.
