It's good to hear Sinky, Conlon and Haughian will be on the card along with "our own wee Carl", so let's hope they can add a few other names by fight night. For any of the lads thinking of traveling to Belfast for the event, the Kings Hall has perhaps one of the best atmospheres [assuming the place fills of course] in world boxing, but to be fair the Point is excellent also. Anyway you will be guaranteed a entertaining night in our great city. A sample of a night in The Kings Hall. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nx5_Jr10RA&feature=related[/ame]
And what did you hear paddy? Anytime I sparred her if I held back her da would tell me to get stuck in to her lol
have to say the Ulster Hall at Lindsey- Appleby was unreal- id say the Kings hall would be class full.
just heard they were interesting haha I cant imagine a birds dad telling me to get stuck into his daughter do you get that much? :hey
Was speaking with Lou DiBella last night If Pavlik doesnt go for his rematch Martinez will be going back down to 154 thus freeing up two belts at middleweight :hey
Tell ya what mate, i was at that fight and the atmosphere was unbeleivable. Taylor himself complained about the heat in the place. It was bursting at the seams with fans. I was up the stairs roundabout where the entrance is below and i swear the collective 'ooohh' from the crowd when McGuigan hit him to the body with that sickening big right hand,was unreal. Almost felt it meself
:good Cheers Ardy I've never even been to Belfast but I'll be heading up for this one. Seeing as the King's hall is referred to as something of a mecca for Irish boxing, what have been the most memorable fights there down through the years?
I went to quite a few of McGuigans fights pre-world title win at the Kings Hall and the atmosphere, as Ardy says, was electric. I always remember the Kings Hall rocking to 'Here we go - here we go - here we goooo" and "Barry! Barry! Barry!" When Hugh Russell entered the ring for his fights on the undercard he got brilliant receptions too. This one is legendary - Rinty always sang 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling' at the end of his fights.

Me too. Wasnt the bar located in this area - I could swear it was - although I was too young to drink at the time - I aways remember my uncle and da getting a couple of pints up there whilst I settled for a packet of Tayto crisps... Those were the days when you could have a drink and smoke whilst watching the boxing.....
What a body shot! He has a picture of it in his gym an taylor is up on his toes against the ropes and the right hand is sinking write in...great picture
I wouldn't mind permission to get stuck into her myself :yep Lets keep the politics out of the thread. Carlos will unite the world, that much is obvious. Apart from that its all ridonckulous. I best be getting my tickets for June 11. How many of the brethren from here are heading?
