    Alright there lads,

    Just gonna put my 'two pennies' worth and detail how I found the night.

    Upon arriving at the MEN at around 17:50 hours I was pleasantly suprised to learnt that the top tier (where the gypos like my good self bought the cheap tickets to sit) had been closed off and that we were to go to our original gate and recieve our upgrades, which were on a first come first served basis. With me being one of only a handful of people to get there that early I had my £40 ticket upgraded to a £100 one. Bingo :happy

    - Kevin looked a little rusty at times and I was a bit suprised that he never put his opponent away. He also looks very susceptible to a left hook. His opponent landed it at will and i fear the big guns who he eventually wants to be contesting would hurt him

    - Felt very sorry for big Enzo. Wasn't boxing too bad but itt's like as soon as he gets hit he just folds. didn't think the punches took that much out of him but he just covered up to an extent that Lebedev was able to pick his punches at ridiculous will. Lebedev, Olofobi and Haye are far from being poor losses however 3 out of the last 4 have been losses (The one win being at heavyweight) suggests to me its time to retire. There's still the liks of Adamek and Cunningham who would now probably beat him.

    - Looked good. Not much more to be said really. I love the way he plants his feet too for some reason....Seems very aware of his movement. Tougher tests for sure but looking superb at the moment.

    - Small is a tit. No other way to describe him ! Looked good but me thinks Hall was getting too frustrated

    Dan, SBO was awesome. You missed out big time; I don't know how they keep managing to put on such money-worthy performances. I almost felt guilty watching it. Should have tore up your ticket, mate.

    Missed that one. As soon as the result was called I legged it out to go and meet up with friends/missus

    Thats my opinion too mate. He just looks wide open when he lunges in.

    :lol::lol: Apparently there was only 6000 tickets sold. Think this was a bit OTT but it wasn't that full. The steward told me our tickets were bing upgraded beacuse they wanted the lower stands full too look good for the cameras.

    I was sat in the block next to that fight, some poor ****er got merked, dont know who it was but I could see there was some dude on the floor and some **** on top of him laying into him...even amid all that noise I could hear the punches twatting him...:nut they actually kicked off before the Khan fight started, shoulda been booted out straight off.

    Sounds like the fights off camera were nearly as good as on camera :)
