    The lad in the green was the one who got sparked. this big black guy came out of nowhere and floored him, it was as good of a punch as the enzo KO no doubt.

    Didn't see the black fella. Just saw the big white bloke in the white absolutely destroy a ald with one shot. Was disgusting.

    And while all this was going on a bloke sat right in front of me fell of his chair as he was standing up to watch and knocked him self out twating his head on the floor. Just saw 2 legs in the air for about 5 mins!!

    It wasn't a big black guy, it was a white bloke with an orange top. He sparked the guy in the green top (who was unconcious for a good few minutes) and another guy.

    They were total twats. Fed up of being at fights with these morons.

    It was like upton park all over again.

    Thank got the show was **** hot or I would be pretty disillusioned right now.

    The trouble is coverage is so bad the only real way of shifting a lot of tickets is to tap into the football crowds. It always seems to be football knobheads fighting. (and for the record I am a football fan)

    Not football fans mate, Blues fans. There's a subtle difference.

    They used to kick off every time McCracken fought too as been mentioned earlier in the thread. Absolute ****s the lot of them.

    It kicked off at Eastman-McCracken too, McCracken was telling the filth fans to pack it in during his post fight interview I think. ****s, the lot of them. Think they all kicked off at a Benn fight years ago at the NEC as well but not sure which one it was, might have been the Eubank fight.

    Nah it was an Argentinian guy he fought, name escapes me but think Benn won on points. The fighting was between the zulus and steve foster supporters from salford, man united. That was a ****ing huge scrap

    Nothing against Manchester, but that comment made me chuckle.

    Birmingham is the second city, that's just the way it is.

    No idea what happend at the fight, I have zero idea, so won't comment on individual events, though on the whole it sounds disgraceful, disgusting, it should never happen in the crowd at a boxing match.

    However, if people what to talk about football fans (which they clearly do), stick a whole teams supporters in one bag, which they clearly have been doing with Brum: Cardiff and Swansea fans are every bit as notorious, troublesome as those from Birmingham, in fact, in recent times, they are probably seen as far worse, so much so, some people don't want them blighting the Prem.

    Ive been to few and have never seen this kind of thing.Im not disputing it did,I guess ive just been lucky.The closest Ive seen was at a Calzaghe fight,a football team(ipswich I think) had got tickets a few rows up from us and were just plain rude to everyone.A few of the fans near us had some heated exchanges with them but it piped down when the fights started.
