    They should box on a moving train or the rooftop of a building.

    Was going to mention how there are MANY fights in Thailand fought outdoors (not all but a hell of a lot are).

    This morning I went pitch side at an empty Cardiff arms park where Prince Naz beat Steve Robinson in September 1995 That was a wet night and it was no good for anybody . This morning standing there at the Arms park on my own it was pouring with rain . Boxing outside is cold and wet

    Murray knows how to make a fight ugly, those veteran tactics, clinching and making a rough and tumble fight

    first outdoor event i went to it was a lovely day / mcguigan v pedroza in 1985
    qpr football ground / i lived in stratford so just about 8 or 9 stops on the central line
    t shirt weather all day and night
    great atmosphere / event / atmosphere.

    missed bruno v bugner cant remember why at spurs.

    last outdoor i went to was bruno v lewis

    for some reason i dont remember it took place on a friday so i had to pack up the stock early from my market stall after an early start / and drive me and my mates from canning town east london all the way to cardiff on a friday .

    i had a jumper on but no coat / / i think it was end of sept so london is still mild / cardiff iin sept is like london in january / freeze your bollox off / give me york hall anytime /
    mind you anyone who used to go to wembley arena even though it was indoors that was a concrete fridge in the winter months /good viewing seats but one bleak arena /

    They do. They get rained out all the time. Sometimes the lights go out and there's electrical problems.

    Because some of todays fighters are scared of there acrylic nails falling off too early because of the terrible weather.

    Or if it is raining they don't want to enter the ring looking like something out of Five Star or Home and Away!!!
