    People in the crowd who start pretending to be a boxer and jabbing, doing uppercuts etc. I can sort of understand it if its your boxing mate ringside, but you get people in row 50 going jab, jab, left hook, uppercut, jab, jab, right hook, left hook, jab, jab, jab for all 3 minutes!

    Well i been to a few shows that have had a ton of so called ''bouts'' but were merely a young buck beating up a journeyman. 6-8 fights were of that ilk then you get a half decent bout then a decent chief support and then main event.

    I dislike fans who attend to just see there man..boo and make a racket and then leave after there guys fought.

    Hangers on **** me off as well......half the time the boxer don't even know them but they try jump on bandwagon for a night...

    I'm talking about Irish events, so this mightn't make sense to a lot of ye.

    -Marty Morrissey (worst "MC" of all time)
    -Too many hometown stoppages
    -Tomato cans (often more than one from the same stable)

    Absolutely hate when I am surrounded by wannabe gangster football hooligans who know nothing about boxing but generally come to see someone get hospitalized.

    This was my experience at the delightful Upton Park. Where most of the 'knowledgable' fans boo'd Mitchell as he came on as they assumed Katsidis would be the challenger.

    Spent more of my night trying not to look llike a Milwall fan (actually I'm chelsea) thanI did watching the fights.

    Didn't even stay for Gavins fight or any of the coolers after the main event.

    Couldn't wait to get out of that dump.
