Frank Warren's best promotion

I think McCall/Bruno showed boxing was dying, it was OK, but it was like Ali/SpinksII; one last bit of history, but we all knew, even if we were in denial, the magic was gone.

Warren was so much better in the 80s, where he was not the establishment, and was edgy and daring. The slippery slope began with arguably his biggest individual triumph; Marsh/Manley.

 

I was at Calzaghe - Kessler and that was fantastic...

 

I think Warren has really lost his edge.

Shame really.

 

were in the exciting Naseem day's.

judgement night etc.

 

me to. love calzaghe when he enters the ring. he oozes confidenceand really gets the crowd going. its electric.

also the haye enzo fight was a great night. good undercard and the build up to the main event

 

The Naz nights were fantastic but that has a lot to do with Naz being so charasmatic and entertaining.

 

Kessler's walk to the ring that night gave me shivers - the music, the atmosphere. I was sat about 20 rows back and near where he walked in and he looked mean as ****. I thought Calzaghe was going to lose that night after the first four rounds but he turned the fight round brilliantly.

Added bonus was that my cousin fought on the bill that night and won his second pro fight so it was a great weekend! :thumbsup

 

who's ur cousin. u mite of been sat near me but i was more square to the ring if u no wat i mean

 

Tony Bellew. I was sat with him, Crolla Arnie etc we were sat just behind Kessler's corner...was brilliant. Stood on our seats at time when Joe was starting to dominate.

 

quality. going to see him friday. cant wait. u from liverpool then. wats the echo arena like

 

I'm actually from Milton Keynes, but my family is from Liverpool - I'm the southern softie! I've not been to the Arena before, I'm told it's a quality venue though.

I'm going as well on Friday, it's an excellent bill isn't it. Not sure if you've seen him before but keep an eye out for Stephen Smith, he's something special. He's from the same amateur club as Ant (Rotunda) and he is a very, very good prospect...

Enjoy :good

 

im from b'mouth so even further south

i saw stephie's last fight at the york hall and thought the same thing. of all the prospect his was the only 1 on the bill who's opponent came to fight. i heard liam is supposed to be the best of the 3

 

Only seem Liam fight once and he did look very good but against a shite opponent! Talented boys though, that's for sure!

Unfortunately, the boxing talent in our family didn't find it's way to me atsch

 

He was a right humble fellow wasn't he the 'The Prince'... :yep
