Casey And Booth to fight in Stadium of Light for WBA European title http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/06/casey-and-booth-to-fight-in-the-stadium-of-light/
There's something like 16 fights on this bill. Absolutely ridiculous value for money this card! If this doesnt sell out there is no justice.
only £30 a ticket cracking value for money, phil jefferies running the show. any idea of the capacity for this event?
Just read on twitter holds 3000 and 18 bouts on ,Looking forward to seeing Glen Foot,Think its out side pitch side.atsch
Show had 15 bouts. Casey and Booth was a classic. Casey got the decision but I had it 116-112 for Booth. Casey was strong and the aggressor throughout and the fight swung from one fighter to the next up until round 7 but Booth for me won the last 5 rounds by blocking the big shots on hs arms, slipping and rolling Casey then countering him very effectively. Casey had no lateral movement but the judges obviously scored for the agression but for me it has to be effective aggression. For me Booth was the winner.
David Dolan also fought, quick 4 rounder against jourbeyman but lacked any plan B. Won on points. Glenn Foot stopped his opponent in round 3. Landed a naughty big hook at the lad whilst he was down and was lucky not to get done for it. The Peter Cope fight was a belter, he won on points but had to show a high work rate and fitness against Reid who pushed him all the way and even dropped him in the first. The show was 7 hrs long, was a marathon but cracking value! Not a sellout either whcih is disappointing considering the value for your cash.
surely this won't be on the pitch? will it not be in one of the banquet rooms etc inside the stadium?
Pretty certain the show was on the pitch, somewhere in the corner where the away fans are normally housed
It was on the pitch. The fans were in the western enclosure and the platform marquee was pulled right up close to the seated area and cover with a marquee. Work well as all areas were covered and the weather was canny
