Irish Models Would Fight Yer Da...

We all know how tough the Irish modelling industry is folks but we weren't really aware just how bleedin' tough a few of the glam girlies are. So we were quite taken aback when we attended Dublin Pub Box at The Wright Venue last week where some lovely ladies knocked seven bales of brown shite outta each other...

There was a spot of foxy boxing in Dublin last week, but these here vixens had sharp teeth and claws. Yup. The likes of models Madeline Mulqueen and Rachael Sorohan gloved-up for some white collar boxing in aid of the ISPCC, and didn't hold back... Baaatens, so there was. Baaatens.

Claire Malone & Madeline Mulqueen

Now what with our Madeline Mulqueen being from Limerick and her being one of the Rubberbandits and wotnot, we always knew she was handy with her hands around the housing estates. But she met her match in singer Claire Malone... No doubt all those years touring with The Commitments toughened her up... She's been to the Northside. And lived.

Rachael Sorohan, Ruby Henderson

And our wee black hearts went out to Rachael Sorohan who got a bloody nose at the flying fists of Ruby Henderson. Trooper that our Rach is, she fought on despite the gushing blood... We'd have been ballin' for our Mas if we got a left hook like that...

Rachael Sorohan, Ruby Henderson

Right. We're not going to go through who won what, but Ivano Cafolla of AfterDark.ie wants a special mention dropped that he won his bout. All three rounds according to the big fella... ShowBiz.ie wasn't represented in the ring as we were home doing our nails... What? Lovers not fighters and all that jazz.

So there you have it folks, Dublin Pub Box in aid of the ISPCC was a huge success and we're looking forward to the next batch of baaatens. Well done to all the models, celebrities, club promoters, city barmen and bar managers who participated. Braver lads than us.
