Going ringside again...

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Dereksmegster, Sep 14, 2011.

  1. Getting my tickets today for tge Liverpool Olympia show. £60 ringside, bargain! Never been to the Olympia though. Any one tell me what atmosphere is like? Look like a decent bill though.
    Lot of people saying selby is a tough opponent for swifty. I can't say I know much about him? Can anyone enlighten me?
    I expect smigga to put Samuels away. What will be interesting is who he fights next. He's down to fight at the echo next month. I hear he wants a shot a geale at middleweight, rather than call out Murray. Wonder what sort of opposition he will get as prep for a geale fight if indeed it cones off.
    Looking forwardto it though.
    Avid on tour!

    You have done the right thing Avid. The Olympia is a fantastic venue rightup there with York Hall, Kelvin Hall, in terms of it being a great one the great British Boxing venues.

    You will have a great view wherever you are in the Olympia and Ringside means you should get to meet a few of the boxers. Usually all over the Gallagher stable is out when a Gallagher fighter in on the bill.

    Atmosphere is amazing I was there for when Rocky Fielding won prizefighter and when Price beat Butler and Swifty fought Simpson everybody went mental when Smith and Price hit their respective opponents with the big shots in the first. Holds about 1500 in all. Very ornate place though falling apart in places still outstanding setting for a boxing venue.

    Have a great time really good bill this if I can wrangle myself a ticket I may still be going to this myself.

    You will love it :good
     
  6. Sounds great. Glad I've decided to go to be honest.

    Avid likes celebs! Might find a new boxer to stalk!
