Yea well bernard put me off going to fights for a while after I got ringside seats for the kiko fight. atsch Paid top dollar for a present for my father and myself for 86 seconds. Luckily enough I'd got over it to make the cordoba fight :good Also seen pretty much all the andy lee and willie casey fights in limerick and went to prizefighter last year
I be honest i loved when Kiko sparked him, made the guy wait for ages as he slowly made way to ring. Kiko dished out pain!
I was only six, I did not have a clue. The ol' man sensed what was about to happen, and we were out of there the moment the first bottle was thrown. My Mum would not let me go to another bout for four years, when I got to see the night Terry Lawless must of wanted to slit his wrists, when both his money makers went down to 'unknown' Americans: Mark Kaylor/Buster Drayton Bomber Bruno/Bonecrusher Smith
:good Good on your dad, disgraceful seen's. Remember as a kid watching Benn the night the chairs got launched into ring.
Benn/Gimenez Just what British boxing needed to showcase on live prime time Saturday night boxing on ITV... To be fair to Benn, it was nothing to do with his fans. If I remember correctly it was Robert McCracken and Steve Foster's 'fans'.
Tyson v Francis, seem to remember Calzaghe fighting David Starie in a stinker on the same bill. Ricky Hatton and Michael Gonzales were also fighting that night.
Froch vs Rybacki/Witter vs Bradley Froch vs Pascal Magnificent 7 Khan vs McCloskey Gavin vs Lomax Degale vs Groves Murray vs Mitchell Bellew vs Clev Haye Vs Klitschko Burns vs Katsidis Brook vs Hatton Froch vs Abraham Going to Froch vs Bute, Most expensive Haye vs Klitschko, Best value Magnificent 7 or Bellew vs Clev. Best venue York Hall or The Echo Arena.
arena fights/big fights Hatton v Rios Hatton v Stewart Hatton v Tszyu Hatton v Maussa Hatton v Castillo Hatton v Mayweather Hatton v Lazcano Calzaghe v Lacy Calzaghe v Hopkins Chi v Brodie 1 Haye v Ruiz Haye v Harrison Khan v McCloskey The contender - UK v USA Small hall shows Jennings v Mutley McDonnell v Hall Johanneson v Ferrans Johanneson v FEhintola Johanneson v Gomez Sykes v Morris Edwards v Bell Booth v Robinson Robinson v Mbityi also a few of James Hares fights but can't remeber which ones there will be a few more that i have forgotten about. i have paid from £20 into the £1000's but consider all value for money because i love boxing. from the people i meet to the atmosphere. at the UK shows i dont even drink, i get there from doors opening and stay until the last fight has finished. Sure, a minority of the top of the bill fights don't meet expectations, but usually a great undercard scrap and spotting the up and comers makes up for it.
Magnificent Seven (Liverpool and Birmingham) Mitchell Katsidis Quigg Booth Smith Simpson 2 Price McDermott Price Dallas Smith Dodson Crolla Watson Few amateur shows Usually buy mid tier tickets for around 50 quid
Haye-Barrett- Fun fight for my first live bout. Wlad-Chagaev(should of been Haye)-poor fight but they put on a decent event also sat a couple of seats from Ricky Hatton. Haye-Ruiz good fight and atmosphere. Haye - Harrisson-was a dissapointment but not a suprise,but Groves-Anderson was good. Prizefighter Light heavys was a good night despite the poor fights. Groves -Degale best moment watching boxing live so far was when Groves got the decision and the place errupted. Haye- Wlad good weekend the atmosphere at the weigh in was good but got drenched in the torrential rain. Fury-Fat Chisora fun fight but Fury fans are mental. Burns-Kastias good fight was next some Burns fans and was happy he got the decision but i thought the fight was close at first untill i watched it at home.Smith getting knocked out rounded the night out nicely. Framton -Hughes first time at York Hall had a decent undercard. Brook - Hatton great night good undercard bit i will never get floor seats again after the twats in front of me thought it was a good idea to stand on the seats:fire Going to Froch - Bute can`t wait should be a great night:bbb
