    Boxing has brought me many great experiances and some fantastic nights,but this takes some beatin.
    In oct 93, my mate Warren Stowe was fighting in a LM british title elliminator,at old trafford football stadium manchester,on the under card to Benn v Eubank 2. I had tickets for the fight, but at the morning weigh-in, tried to blagg myself a ringside seat for warrens fight,and ende up with one of the best seats in the stadium. One of Frank Warrens pr women said she could get me a security pass on 1 condition, that i helped out in the corners,passing ice and water up to the trainers.
    Although Warren lost his fight on a close decision to Paul Wessley,and with it a crack at Rob McCraken, I had a great night.:yep
    I helped Robin Reids corner, a few under card fights including Warrens corner,helped Barney Eastwood in Crisanto Espana's world welterweight fight. In between fights i'm up on the ring apron tryin to get my mates attention:happy:happy who were gutted,up in the bleachers.I shook Don Kings hand,met Frank Bruno,Lennox Lewis,Barry Mcguigan,Sam Fox(she was fit then) and many more stars.then realised i was helpingJimmy Tibbs and Peter Defratas in Nigel ****in Benns corner,one of my atf british boxers.
    The fight did'nt live up to expectations,ending in a contraversial draw,but its the best fight ive ever attended.
    As the rounds went by i was getting more involved in the corner,and eventually was up on the ring giving Nigel his water. At the end of the 10th he asked me to make the water colder,so i was puttin loads of ice in the water bottles betwee rnds.After the 11th whilst giving him his ice-cold water he sked me to pour it on his head,so i emptied the ****in lot over him.Jimmy Tibbs went mentle as the water spilled all over the canvas,but nigel turned to me, winked, and said 'fakin brilliant mate':goodI was buzzin. Met both Benn and Eubank after the fight,top blokes both.
    What a night to tell my grand kids about eh.:bbb

    You tryin to suggest i made it up mate:bbb
    Its true,every word. If you get a copy of the fight,maybe its on utube, and you'll see me pour the water on his head between 11th and 12th rounds. blonde hair,red daily mirror sweatshirt on,which was given to me by one of the ring girls,straight off her back.****in stunk of perfume.
    No need to make stuff up mate:thumbsup
