    just gettin up from last night overall the o2 was a good venue but as usual on big events the mixture of real fight fans combined with the **** head public is forever goin to be one that frustates me .andthe fact u cant hear the fighters interviews and the big screen that was the size of a badgers **** was dissapointing
    anyway a few observations i noticed from last night please feel free to comment or add ur own.

    1. saunders has been kinda left behind in the past hype and gone pretty much un noticed howver i personally thought he boxed excellent showing good knowledge of range and a combination of skills not sure if his fight was shown on sky but sure hope it was as his performance deserved a wider audience

    2.frankie gavin was frustated by muttley but showed a lack of knowledge/know how to work his opponent out i have to say he was poor considering all the press and praise he gets ,

    3.degale needs a new trainer and new focus but im sure this will have been well covered in other threads

    4.cleverlys fans are noisey and passionate and good for the game there was plenty who had travelled down to london and fair play to them , cleverly looks to be very gifted lets hope warren provides him with some real tests rather than floatin around defendin shitty belts

    Is the O2 as good as the MEN then? The MEN is a very special place for the big fights,will the O2 become the same?

    Did you see the Fury-Chisora brawl. And during the Groves-Degale fight there seemed to be another fight kicking off.

    What happened?

    didnt see the fury chisora brawl very well from where i was sittin as was quiet high up there was around 4or5 seperate little fights mostly durin the groves degale fight it was funny watchin security scurrying from one punch up to another up and down the arena like stormtroopers what was surprising was one of the rows was in the very pricey seats and happened early on in the degale fight which would proper gut me if id paid all that money and missed out on the main event

    dont think the o2 has the abilty to feel like a longterm home for boxin it didnt have the feel of the MEN or even the excel which i have to say when i went to the prizefighter heavyweights i was impressed at the feel of the place.
    the o2 needed to make use of the sound system they have there they also needed to have large screens up and allow the audience to hear the post fight interviews also they need to do something about smokin as u were told once u were in u couldnt go out for a *** and that led to people plottin up in the bogs smokin all night.

    I learnt that idiots who have ringside seats should pay more attention to the fight happening in the ring than one happening in the crowd

    ****ing morons
