    I like to watch undercards but the froch v dirrell card was one the worst ever, drinking in the foyer and watching fleaman punch **** out of his jaw to prove he had a granite chin was priceless. He must of drank at least 10 pints as he was smashed but his boxing knowledge is unparalleled tbh.

    Point is the esb crew are a good bunch, and i thoroughly look forward to a possible froch v abraham in nottingham night out again...

    Munroe vs Martinez II
    Moore vs Piccirillo

    Both of those had some pretty bad undercard fights, and I was on my tod so had to prompt someone to wake me before the main event started.....

    Froch vs Dirrell - the Nottingham ESB day/night :yep
    Haye vs Ruiz - another ESB meet :yep

    Can't think of any more :think

    Only three as it goes, although my debut was a biggie.....Mayweather vs Hatton, after that I went the Fury vs MacDermont and the final one was the Prizefighter heavy's which Harrison won. in terms of excitment they probably fall in that order too.

    smith - quigley, smith- dodson, haye - ruiz so far.

    the meeting one other esb'er though, it's a bit gay for sho'.

    But meeting up in a crowd, that's a better idea.

    these esb meets sound pretty good, would love to see flea man trying to KO himself

    About 3..."Amatuer shows", never really wanted to go to any shows.

    I couldn't imagine, what i would be doing in Vegas. Drinking while the undercard fights are on, and then watching the fight with no commentary..? from a **** seat..?

    Nahhhh not for me. I like to watch fights soba, and i actually enjoy listening to commontary.

    Maybe in afew years, when Amir Khan invites me to sit ring side. Maybe if Roy jones, or Mike Tyson where in their prime, i would be more motivated........but sorry no.

    I live in the Midlands which is a bit bereft of boxing, it all seems to go North or South of here, but I've been too a few, maybe 4 local shows over the years, no names on them, and Clinton Woods vs Glenn Johnson in Bolton and Wladimir Klitschko vs Eddie Chambers in Dusseldorf a few months ago. Woods vs Johnson was easily the best fight I've seen live.

    I have seen 3 so far.
    Haye-Barret Good fun fight with Groves pro debut on the undercard,shame there wasn`t more in the areana but that to be expected.

    Wlad - Chagaev I was gutted that Haye pulled out of the fight then my mate let me down, so i ended up going on my own but i had a great time in the end and Ricky Hatton was sat 2 seats away from me and him and his mates are top blokes.

    Haye - Ruiz The atmosphere was great it was a good fight and Manchester is a great city.

    Yes, and a terrible arena the Excel too. John Mcdermott rolled over in about 30 seconds in front of Matt Skelton on the undercard. It was such a bad ad for boxing. I took a mate and was embaressed.
