british boxing signing fair today..

I'm a massive fan,go to as many fights as i can afford, and never really bothered with these events ,,but

,,i went to one at sixfields footy stadium in northampton, (my home town), today and was surprised at the amount of boxers who were happy to chat and have pics with.(no i don't work for the event!).
i paid 30 quid for a pic with sugar ray leonard, who was a gent
a tenner for a pic with Ken Buchanan
tenner for a pic,autographed photo and chat with Bellew-talked about hearn signing everyone up,his bad cuts in his last fight-proper nice bloke
chatted with david price about that strange knockout he suffered,him coming back-had a pic with us
jaime moore was only to happy to stop for a chat and let us hold his lonsdale belt which he proudly carried about, and a pic
Danny williams chatted with us about boxing on past when everyone wants him to retire,really came across as 'can't let go' ,but he didn't hold back talking about anything i could throw at him-he's made of boxing!
Antony Agogo had a handshake and a smile
Tim Witherspoon was the most entertaining ,charasmatic one there,joking about with the crowd,baiting frank bruno (who looked a bit sad, if i could say so).
Ashley Sexton had a laugh with me and my old man about the Ahmed knockout.!-and had a pic with him..

..anyway, what a great bunch of people, they say that you should never meat your idols ,but it was the best two hours (and fifty quid!) i've spent on a saturday morning recently-if you havn't done one of these do's then i'd recommend it:good

proud to be a fan of british :bbbboxing

 

i think that it was called boxingmania, they'll have a website or try the northampton town football club listings--i'd relish a day like that with Benn and Eubank-not much chance now as the 'dark destroyer' has emigrated to Oz:verysad

 

your missing my point, as a fan i think fifty quid is a fair priced to pay to spend time being able to speak to the people who actually are doing the boxing , and them being this personable with a fan-I don't think that the chance to have that many names in one place for a fan comes along too often,,,I enjoyed it-(note the repeat of fan as it is my point):good

 

.
it was, excel sounds alright-i think it was the fact that it was on my doorstep that sort of added to it

 

he had us in stitches, my old man tried to wind him up when he shook his hand, he said that the reason Witherspoon recognised him was that he was the ex light heavy world champ,, Tim looked at him for a few secs before he realised it was a wind-up and gave my old boy a quick combination, before trying to nick his phone-he kept on shouting"alwight Harry" at Bruno...
