    I have only been a couple of times, but the York Hall is a great bastion of boxing and I loved the place. What memorable fight nights have you attended or heard about that took place in the York Hall?

    I don't quite understand. Is it that good? I've got to go down sometime. I'm not too far away from it.

    It doesn't appear that great on TV. Just looks like a Regular Hall to me :lol:. Maybe I'm missing something? :think

    I loved the place - it is on top of the ring and is steeped in history. I wonder is there a good book on boxing at the York Hall?

    I saw Johnny Tapia there when Warren got him over for a comeback.

    Graham Earl was on the bill too if I remember rightly.

    Wayne Alexander W Paolo Pizzamiglio TKO 3 12x3
    Johnny Tapia W Eduardo Enrique Alvarez TKO 1 10x3
    John McDermott W Tony Booth TKO 1 6x3
    Steve Spartacus W Darren Ashton PTS 4 4x3

    Nice card! Tapia at the York Hall must have been great - for the one round anyway!

    Lol. Yeah.

    Jimmy Lennon Jr was the ring announcer. I was actually just as excited to see him as I was the fight!
