NEW YORK — They don’t turn the rivers green in New York for St. Patrick’s Day, but the gutters are known to overflow with the afternoon’s intake of Guinness. And on the eve of that special day in the Big Apple, a good many were in their best and proudest greens as the Irishman himself, Callum Walsh, took center stage at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
It was an old-school affair. The sun was still up when Sunday’s main card began, a little happy hour gathering of rowdies, and the fight types were stuffed into the lesser of the Gardens to get an eyeful of the 24-year-old phenom who has captured the attention of Dana White.
