Felt like something a bit different. Prob been done before but suck my balls if you don't like it.... Personal faves are 1) Nigel Benn with the chimes of Big Ben 2) Ricky Hatton with the Winston Churchill speach and sirens with honourable mention to the Fat Suit and "Hi Ho Ricky Fatton" 3) Prime Mike Tyson - No robe, socks or music; just old school off to the ring and fight - love it! Anbody else with favs? A warning to anyone wishing to post any such shite as wannabe homeboy's rapping their way to the ring. I know where you live Ashley and if you dare tarnish this, I will set fire to you and listen to you scream:deal
I heard Leon has an outstanding ring entrance......atleast that is whats written on the dunny wall at the Greenwood!!
Not even close to Big Ben chiming away, that adds drama - not another "what the **** has he done now??!!"
I went and watched Nic "The Terror" Tetoris at Moorabin Town Hall and he came out to the classic Zorba The Greek music and everybody there was slow clapping to the beat until he got near the ring and the music sped up...crazy man......thank christ those loopy sister rooting Greeks didn't bring plates.
sonny michael angelo being carried in a cage, then when let out he pranced around the ring on all fours like a lion. another time he decided it was time to play soccer and proceeded to dribble a soccer ball around the ring, lol. don't know whether he won the fights but i don't really care, the guy makes most fightnights memorable for one reason or another. its one thing that most fighters forget, they r entertainers.
I was watching the Tyson doco last night. Holyfield's ring walk on the second fight was unreal. The old gospel tunes aren't my cup of tea, but the look on his face is one of pure confidence.
If you're a dirty Pom then Hatton with "Blue Moon" coming out to KT was pretty special as he was a heavy underdog......... I was living in Nottingham at the time and had 6 dirty poms sinking **** with me and it was something else, for some strange reason i wished (for only 2 seconds atsch) i was a dirty Mancurian (sic) it was that spine chilling .
