    Madison Hotel is quite nice, and during the day anywhere in that area is fine to partake in a little tipple, but at night things can get a bit hairy:bbb. But you will be at the fights, so won't need to worry about that. Depending on what time you get there, you should try The Crown Bar facing The Europa Hotel[ the most bombed hotel in Europe:D]. But seriously you will be pleasantly surprised at the bars in Belfast, cheap beer in comparison to the south, and most people are very friendly. I will be hoping to have a drink before the fights, and I've organised a meet-up with a few others. Your more and welcome to join us in a drink or 3.:thumbsup

    Willie Casey Defeats McElhinney To Win Prizefighter!

    This content is protected
    WILLIE 'Big Bang' Casey has won the Prizefighter Super-Bantamweights title after a night of thrilling action, drama and controversy at London’s York Hall. Casey, 28, from Limerick, Ireland, claimed the £32,000 winner's prize with a unanimous points victory over Scottish substitute Paul McElhinney. McElhinney got his chance in the final after Welshman Ricky Owen was left in tears after a bad cut sustained during his semi-final win denied him a final appearance.

    “This victory means I’m up there at the top of the division and I’ve proved I can be with the best,” said a delighted Casey, who entered Prizefighter as a short-notice replacement after Wayne McCullough withdrew injured.

    “I only came here with five fights on my record but I beat everyone against all the odds.

    “It was a great opportunity and if a big fight comes up then I will always take it. Prizefighter came along and without hesitation I accepted it..

    “I was a bit edgy before the start as I normally come on stronger in the later rounds but then I had a fast start in my first fight.

    “I showed a lot of character and that I have a big heart as there were some great lads in this.

    “The best in Britain were in this competition including Esham Pickering and Jamie Arthur but I’m the one left standing.

    “Who knows what the future holds? I might get a shot at the European title after winning Prizefighter. I’m very proud of everything I’ve done.”

    In one of the greatest Prizefighter events ever, four of the seven fights were decided by a split decision, while one was stopped inside the distance.

    Casey won an incredible semi-final on points against Barnsley’s Josh Wale in a contest where a staggering 532 punches were thrown in three rounds

    The other semi-final saw Owen gain a hard-fought win over 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medalist Jamie Arthur.

    However, both men gained bad cuts during the contest and Owen’s cut saw him unable to fight in the final.

    This was the 12th Prizefighter event and it started in explosive fashion as Casey floored Liverpool’s Mark Moran during their quarter-final before the contest was then stopped.

    Barnsley’s Josh Wale narrowly defeated former European, Commonwealth and British champion Esham Pickering in the next contest.

    Arthur scraped past Robbie Turley in the third quarter-final before Owen climbed off the canvas to beat Gavin Reid in the last one.

    **** sake where is Burke????


    Paulie needs to issue a press release offering casey a shot at his EU strap and Irish Title on the same night

    obviously paulie would get the bigger split of the purse but no doubt casey is now a bigger house hold name!

    It looks quite well, but 'Team Frampton' sounds really gay and I think 'The Jackal' would of been much better. Maybe that's just me though.
