    Yeah. I heard a guys head hit the handrail on the aisle between rows and I was almost on the other side of the place, he must have hit it hard. Actually I went to boxing at the Walsall town hall a couple of weeks back and it was honestly the first time in England I've been to boxing where there hasn't been at least a minor crowd disturbance. Last time I was there a bunch of guys tried to mob the referee because their mate got knocked out by a punch right on the bell. I put it down to a combination of booze and vicariously gained adrenaline.

    Pretty much every single one I have been to has involved some sort of aggro at some point, more and more tossers seems to be going.

    Supprised what has been said about trouble in general at shows.

    I must have gone to at least 20 shows in last 2 years and have not seen any trouble.

    Most have been small hall shows so I am not sure if that makes a difference.
     
  5. May well do, you should have been at Froch - Dirrell, the stands had 10x more action than the fight.

    Small hall shows tend to be shorter, so less time to drink. They also attract less casual boxing fans getting tanked up as part of their big night out .

    "With the emergence of Football hooliganism, its spread to different sports aswell. Mainly they are all opportunist football fans, that have a interest in boxing"

    Look at this behaviour, i think this is taking it too far.

    I was there and it is quite sad. It was an awesome night and the atmosphere was amazing but if you were welsh friggin intimidating!

    There was loads of fights and trouble i saw, even in the main event. But what crossed my mind is how many must be real fans! Because when there was i reckon i was one of a handful watching cleverly and bellew cos i kid you not i looked round quickly and the majority of the crowd was watching the fight in the upper tier.

    I wasnt going to give those tossers the attention when i could watch something great happening in the ring!

    If you could get a boxing arena full of real boxing fans i bet there wouldnt be a single bit of crowd trouble!

    I was sitting in 'Row-G' £50 seats in tiered seating.

    Rendall Munroe was 20 or so seats away to my left and Rocky Fieldings mates were directly behind me. His relation was a silly fat **** wearing a white t-shirt who was shadow boxing at the outer ringside smashed out his ****ing tree :-(

    I was sat with 4 clev fans to my right, which helped cos we were surrounded by Bellew fans. I kept cheering 'War Cleverly' which went down like a shiut sandwich at a buffet and I was greeted with a chorus of 'you sheepshagging taffy ****', obviously these cretins stereotype every cleverly fan with same slur and don't realise boxing extends to other domains than the fighters back yard.

    Fighting wise - Dickhead in the gods were throwing beer down on the guys below in the £50 seats and **** went off. To my left in teh horseshoe we had that **** stamping on some poor ****ers head. Below we had a bloke full on jawed for supporting Clev. The guy who hit him got chucked out.

    Folk were smoking in their seats and pissing in the sinks in the toilets. Downright disgrace. I blame it all on the lackadaisical attitude to drinking in the arena.

    All in all, Liverpool has more in common with Walsall than I thought. Only difference is they have fit birds and we have munters. Thank god my missus is from Lichfield aye ;)

    Oh and I saw into Dominic Ingle on way to car park with Kid Galihan. Some smackhead tried scoring a pound off Dom and got pushed away by an aquintance to the reply 'do you know who I am?'. Obviously blissfully unaware he is talking to a good prospect and a respected boxing trainer, gutted he didn't jawed truth be known.

    That Klitschko fight was full of morons.
    Had an ok weekend but I'll never travel to see another fight with an English fighter as big as Haye/Hatton again.

    Who was causing the trouble there???

    Dirrell did not bring many fans over so was it the Froch fans fighting amoungst them selfs.

    Sad really.

    @Johnson Knows.

    I was at Froch v Dirrel and there was only 2 skirmishes there pal. At least 6 at the echo and way worse than those at Froch v Dirrel.
