    witter v's bosworth -was fun cheering on our home fighter, witter dominated though. "bozzy" still holds a disqualification win over matt hatton though.
    froch v's woolnough -great atmosphere at the ice arena ,good prices and pretty much picked our seats right near the front!
    haye v's thompson -was getting excited about Haye and picked his first loss!:patsch, Wembly was chaos and organisation was a shambles-overpriced drinks/food.
    froch v's dodson -great fun at the ice arena, dodsons fans proper kicked off and had to leave with my dad (who is 65 and has parkinsons ,but still wanted a piece of the tear-up!:bbb).we left through where the boxers enter because of the madness!

    (nearly) hopkins v's calzaghe -had booked to go to vegas with the misses knowing when the fight was on , sadly had no money left for tickets,:-( but had a wicked time in vegas playing poker !:good

    had a kid 10 months ago, so will have to save hard for yearly shows now..

    Wlad v Chagaev
    Wlad v Haye
    Haye v Harrison
    Haye v Ruiz
    Khan v Barrera
    Froch v Dirrell
    Stuey Hall v Martin Power & Jeffries v Banbula (classic)
    Mitchell v Katsidis

    Would've gone to Brook v Hatton, Froch v Bute and probably Burns v Katsidis if I hadn't moved to Hong Kong (there's **** all here).

    Got a weekend in London in the summer so might try and go to York Hall. Olympics are on though so little chance.

    Seen loads but the worst memory I have is Eubank-Amaral in 94. Fight was ****, started late, missed last train home and ended up walking the streets around Kings Cross until the morning.

    Not getting to the live shows as much as I used to but was lucky enough to do

    Klitschko/Hide
    Lewis/Holyfield 1
    Lewis/Holyfield 2
    Hatton/Tszyu,Phillips,Magee
    Calzaghe/Woodhall

    The Lewis trips were pricey, esspecially as I got ripped off prior to the 2nd fight and thankfully the mother in law lent me some dough and I got very late tickets/flights, only arrived Saturday morning before the fight.

    Bloody sports travel agency ripped about 400 of us off and did a bunk with the money, I was one of the lucky ones still getting there but it must have been even worse for the majority of people. Crazy thing was it was the same travel company as the first fight in NY, so none of us saw it coming.

    They got the bugger though he got 18 months apparently.

    Here's an example below. He's got plenty of stories like this too. I believe he once sparred Willie Pep if I'm not mistaken.
