    Hahaha I'm not sure the wife to be would be happy having other boxing nuts speaking boxing all night on our wedding night!!

    Just been told there is a show on the Friday but likewise I don't think she would put up with a boxing show after our ceremony for the reception!! She has to put up with enough of that with my commitments to my amateur club and pro fighters!!

    Oscar Valdez vs Chris Avalos
    Jesse Hart vs Aaron Pryor jr
    Mike Reed vs Antonio Canas

    Looks a decent card too, my brother Matty will be hoping that he gets to meet Aaron Pryor snr, he is one of his inspirations when starting boxing and turning pro!! That's where he got Matty "The Hawk" McAllister from!!

    I'm going to watch Berto Lopez again right now, Lopez isn't exactly a top contender but he's semi-relevant at least and Berto got the job done coming from behind, it's not a fight of the year or anything but it's an okay win so at least he did something. No, I'm not defending this fight, it's a mediocre fight but he's fought a murderer's row of Cotto, Guerrero (Mandatory but weak), Alvarez, Maidanax2 and Pacquiao so whatever.

    David, what price seats did you get btw?
    Did you say you've been to the MGM before?
    Decent venue for boxing?

    I got the 2nd cheapest tickets (still $300) and couldn't justify paying more than that.

    We bought the $750 tickets, I have paid silly money for the $300 seats but to be honest there isn't a bad seat in the arena!! I was at the O2 when Rampage Jackson was fighting there and he looked like an ant from the seats we had and he weighs around 230 lb when he fights!! But at every seat in the MGM the boxers still look a normal size and although there is screens up you can see clearly enough without them, The atmosphere is always good!!

    I stayed at the MGM for the Mayweather vs Cotto fight and the buzz in the hotel the fight week is amazing!! I got a room key with the fight poster on it (kept that haha) and we met Mayweather snr and other celebs just walking around the casino!! You will enjoy yourself i can guarantee that!!

    Lucky it was not Injun Joe or he would be called Matty 'The Tomahawk' McAllister

    No mate, that is my wedding day so we will all be spending that together but he is going to at least try meet Aaron Pryor either day before or day after his son boxes!

    When I was at Cotto vs Mayweather we were able to buy tickets for the show on teh day before on the day of the show tbh, most people will be there for the Mayweather bill. We were around $80 for the tickets.
