    I know that he winds a few of you up on the forum with his forthright views, but he showed a touch of class last Friday night.

    Billy and a few friends were at an amateur club show, Argo ABC in Glasgow. It's not a dinner show, just a very busy club show in a sports centre.

    Just out of the blue, he offered the club an auction prize;

    2 ringside tickets for Ricky Burns v Joseph Laryea, a chance to visit the Fighting Scots gym to watch Ricky prepare for the fight, a pair of personally autographed gloves & photo with Ricky during the gym visit and (if possible) a chance to visit the dressing room about an hour before the fight.


    It was only a local show with genuine boxing punters, not a dinner show with the big spending businessmen but it still raised several hundred quid for a local amateur club.


    You're a good man Billy.........................................................................but you'll still never make lightweight!!! :tong

    Listening to some of your posts on here you really are a nutjob!! 80% of your posts are on here to cause offence!!! A see alot of them are directed at Billy so you are either jealous of the guy or just a genuine nutjob who doesn't like anyone!! It's unbeleiveable that u are a esb senior member ya would think u would been kicked off by now!! Enough talking about you ya dick!!!

    I think that would be a cracking prize to win!! Gonna be a cracking show can't wait for it!!! Always a good crack north of the border!!!
