    I dont know. The lad thrives off confidence mate and I think he could go on to do well at a decent level. People forget how close that Sykes fight was. It was a very good fight and he wasn't beat by much.

    Great spot Newcastle. Great for a drink. Plenty of women in it and they're a friendly enough bunch. Same as all cities, if you look for trouble you'll find it. Whitley Bay is a good spot too. If you have time, get a taxi to Marsdens Grotto. Its a bar kinda on a beach and built in a cave. mind you, i aint been in the bar in 15yrs so with global warming and ****, its probabley 2kms under the north sea

    Bigg market's a bit of a dive mate. Newcastle's definitley got more to offer. It's also the worst place to be if you're trying to avoid trouble.

    There's some good places around central station but they're a complete mix in style. If you're looking for a good cheap beer try the Union Rooms (wetherspoons) or Head of Steam. Revolution or the Long bar can be good options, one or two drinks in, if you're looking for nice normal women (although a bit hit and miss on that front) and then Tokyo, Perdu and Baby Lynch are kind of trendy bars which fill up later on.

    If you're after easy women try the Sports Cafe (just up from Central Station), Mushroom (top of the Bigg market - it's also dirt cheap in here), Mood (in the Gate - up the street from the Big Market) or Sam Jack's (outside the Gate).

    . . . and a little tip - don't wind up the larger women up there unless your defence is water tight. Seen many a man dropped by a fatty in a kebab shop after 3 o'clock :lol:

    :good

    Sports Cafe is still shut isn't it? Or has it opened again recently?

    http://www.pubsnewcastle.co.uk/ - Good website to pan your pub crawl before/after the fight if you plan to.

    No you could be right mate. It's not one of my usual stop offs so I'm not too sure.

    Gate.....

    Never known that was a hotspot for easy women,.... Liquid was our haunt when we used to go, mainly because it was right next to our hotel and we didn't want to be lost at 4am!

    :lol:

    The sound system, in that place is ridiculous!

    Used to go up the gate a fair bit mid week and never failed to land in that place if I was looking. Granted it's not quite as easy as walking up behind some rough bird in the bigg market (Flares, Yell, etc.) and grabbing her arse but then you've got just as much chance of being knocked out doing that as you have of pulling. :rofl

    Apart from the Dog and Parrot, which is a great bar. Good list of bars though- the bigg market and quayside are the **** places to go out in Newcastle, that these are good places to go out is a common misconception about Newcastle :verysad

    We always had a few beers in Players Bar, was up one weekend for Newcastle vs Sunderland game, place was rammed but was like a nightclub atmosphere at 5pm!

    Bigg Market is pretty rough, I didn't think much of Quayside, was dead last time we were there.

    I can't remember half of names of some places to be honest, its far better than Leeds for a night out, IMO.
