    It would be an terrific night for our sport.

    Paddy, Ali could only half fill Croke Park, the promoters took a hammering that night. Although I'm sure Hatton/Mayweather would sell-out any venue on these Islands.

    Yeah was a bit of a shame alright the old man said there was about 25000-30000 people there for it.

    I took the the tour of croker in september im a divil ive been there countless times but never took the tour.

    The tour guide was telling me that they call the tunnel between the canal and the cusack stand the "Muhammad Ali" Tunnel.

    Did you see the fight yourself Ardy or was it before your time?

    Just a bit before my time, I was only a bab in arms then.

    In actual fact, my first memory of a fight was ALI/Forman.The older brothers were so enthused about the bout, their excitment rubbed off on me.
