    :-(

    I made one thread called:

    Hayes facing rude awakenig in Gemrany.

    Using Brinely's account - which is a bannable offence to allow someone else to use your account to make threads / posts

    Other than that Brinely was FAT JOE :thumbsup

    There is plenty to debate about Welsh boxing.

    Like I said the depth of the Calzaghe stable was immense.

    Joe Calzaghe V Mikkel Kelseer and Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones

    Enzo Maccarenelli V David Haye

    Gary Lockett V Kelly Pavlik

    these Calzaghe boys have taken part in some of British boxer biggest fights of the last few years.

    Cheers pal :good
    Don't think they do show fights that much anymore, it's used a lot for live music. But if we can achieve a bit of success there, then I reckon it'll re-generate a bit of interest there again - and boxing can claim back a pub that's rightfully ours!

    Cardiff doesn't really have the venues unfortunately anymore. I was speaking to Chris Sanigar about it a while ago (he and Jamie put on a fair few shows in near by Newport), and you only really have the C.I.A, which you need a decent profile type of fighter to fight there, or the Millenium Stadium. Cardiff is pretty **** when it comes to boxing, in terms of how much it cares about the sport. Pretty much the geographical equivalent of the BBC.

    Nah. That's just the sheep.
    Wales - a country where you can get a good hotpot, a nice jumper and a great shag. All from just the one animal.

    Gareth Piper, welterweight. He's looking to debut by mid - late spring.

    Basically wrapped up working with the amateurs, disillusioned with the shambles of the W.A.B.A and certain other people I had to be involved with that I didn't particularly care to be. Shame really, but I was unhappy with all the bull****, and if you ain't happy - time to go!
    Loving it again now though :good
