    Did anyone here attend?

    I was there was one of the best shows iv been to if not the best! Great boxing but also had a great feel to it loved the fact we was free to roam around during bouts and socialise (sometimes i feel being sat in your seat apart from ocasional trip to toilet can be a bit to much at these long indoor shows) also the bars in the stands had huge windows so a trip to the bar didnt mean missing anything the weather also helped brilliant work from eddie hearn showing vision and taking a risk it pulled off big time in my opinion

    Yeah, I went managed to get some VIP ringside seats was a great view and show, quite a lot of trouble there but apart from that was a great night! Agree with the cold and the gap between the last non tv bout and tv bout was quite a while but was a great event!

    Would love to see more like this had a bit of a festival feel to it i go to shows all over to country but would love to see more like this
     
  5. As an armchair viewer I have to say it looked excellent
    It seemed that there was a good atmosphere and had the look of a music festival rather than a boxing bill
    Well done Eddie
    More outdoor shows perhaps,got lucky with the weather though

    Lots of vans around the stands and on the pitch edges, then in the VIP bar there was some food

    The atmosphere and set up was brilliant, liked the festival feel as mentioned already, being free to wander and meet the boxers for pics in between fights was great. Had a good chat with Rocky Fielding who was frustrated that the French guy withdrew the night before due to passport problems. Dave Coldwell said he was relieved about the Derry result as he admitted in his eyes he never won a round.

    To be fair to the lad he came across well when the cameras wasn't on him. Big difference between a filmed interview and a casual chat

    Maybe he has the intellect of a caveman like Rocky and they spent the night grunting and waving to each other

    It's risky having events outside. I was at the Haye Chisora fight and the downpour there was unreal, added to the atmosphere though I think.
