    Of course I was not there - read the opening post FFS :patsch

    The promoters done well to get £40 out of people as I would not pay that sum to watch 5 unknown fighters fighting our old friend TBA.

    Will any of these guys appear on Sky?

    You have answered your own question Ronnie Clark is one of the best Super Feathers in this country.. He should be on TV Very exciting fighter and never in a dull fight but as you have said boxing in Scotland gets 0 exposure. Mikey Towell also has a very TV friendly style 2 lads that sky and Boxnation are missing out on both big characters.. Jamie Wilson is fighting for the Commonwealth title on 4-4-15 in Newcastle that will be on sky.. This show was better to watch than some of the tv shows on sky recently. I go to a lot of boxing and watch everything on TV

    April 4th is the first show Eddie Hearn has put on up here bar one of the first PrizeFighters, unless you're referring to Dave Ryan :huh

    Unless you are on about the recent Fight Pass show (a Steve Wraith show), but there were no Saunders brothers on that card.

    It will be a good fight mate Jamie is a tidy boxer and so is Anthony. Is a genuine 50/50 fight.

    Home advantage and slightly more experience (at title level) might just favour Nelson, especially if it is close. Mind, i thought Nella had more than 9 fights under his belt.

    Eddie has no shame - that guy did look as though he could not even lift his leg to walk properly.

    Hope it was a recent twisted ankle as he did look disabled to me.

    Fair enough, never really considered Hull as the North East:

    Most football fans up here joke that Middlesbrough isn't even in the North East :yep and that it is simply a small town in Yorkshire (it is in the NE of course).

    Small hall show prices have always been an absolute farce. They really need looking at. Should be £20 max.

    I went to the beach ballroom in aberdeen, 40 quid cheap tickets. Was only 4 fights if i remember correctly, lee mcallister defending his commonwealth title against a ghanaian with a 7-6(ish) record. Had a pair of journeyman fighting each other as well. Think they had about 5 wons and 50 losses between them. Delroy Spencer was one of them o believe.
