i played in it a couple of times a great venue i say it could up to 1500 it has a balcony and a small resturant many changing rooms and lots of parking.
rte are showing the fight live from 9.30 ,but I checked peters website link to the o2 and it says 6.00 so I take it thats what time doors open in there but I what time will the show start and will rte only show the dunne fight?
If Peters website says 18:00, that will be when the doors open alright. The fights probably won't start till 6:45(no one hold me to that ). RTÉ will show more that Dunne and I'd assume we'll see Andy Murray +1/2 more fights before Dunne is on. I'd expect the Dunne fight to start around 11:30. A lot of this guess work, but that's how things would normally go.
my man in the Point (O2) has promsied me the full provisional running order the day before the fight. They usually release running orders and all that but this lad works loading in and out the stages so he gets the moss up to date info as the event gets closer. What I can say for sure is this. He is called back for the load out (the Point being stripped of the ring, stage, screens, etc...) and he is due back to work at midnight. I can also add that he is always on standby for quick finish. Basically the time he is due back in work at is in case of a knockout/stoppage inside 3 rounds. So, if the crew have to be back and load out at midnight in case of a 3 round stoppage then its very hard to see the fight starting before 11:30

back today after a ban, never got to say anything about darrens death. Reading all about it without being able to offer a opinion or thought was truly annoying RIP Darren and thoughts are with his family, a terrible shock it was for us, how they must be feeling cannot even compare
i think ita better card than the last one! maybe they mite add micheal kelly....doubt it though. oh i nearly forgot alexei acosta won last night in england. ko2
It's not really though, I think people are expecting a bit much if they want a card like the Cordoba fight every time. Bernard Dunne v Poonsawat Kratindaenggym-WBA Super-Bantamweight title Andy Murray v Pasquale Di Silvio-EU Lightweight title Patrick Hyland v David Kiilu Jamie Power v Michael Sweeney Tyson Fury v TBA Stephen Haughian v TBA Oisín ***an v TBA That's a reasonable card for me, it's not amazing any means but I wouldn't call it poor. I'd have liked Haughian's opponent to have been named by now though, especially since he was meant to be in an 8 rounder.
:thumbsup, I hope they put that fight a few weeks back so I can go to the McCloskey as well as Rogan:hey
Quite Happy with that card myself! Power vs Sweeney is wetting the appitite, Then the chance to watch Fury, Hyland, Haughian, ***an and Andy Murray in an EU Title fight all before the main event which is gonna be a thriller between Dunne and Poonsawat call me easy to please but i can't wait.:yep
