I'll be in Jimmy's Corner before the fight if anyone wants to meet me. It's a Boxing dive bar on 140 W 44th Street run by Jimmy Glenn.

PM me for me mobile.

Chaps, yes, that's my usual pre-MSG warm-up bar too.

What time?

Davey: ironically Jimmy's wife, is called "Swanny", knows more about boxing than any woman I've met.

She's Russian as well, ain't she?

Say 16:00 as doors open at 18:00 I think? Might be in there earlier. Depends how much the bird's shopping annoys me.

John Scully might be coming, too.

Polish.

I've not checked the running order yet, headline fights at MSG tend to be relatively late to accomodate the West Coast, and the undercard doesn't seem that appealing.

Really? Judah, Gainer, Augustus and Salida all interest me. Zab's brother will be interesting to watch too.

The way I see it Emerson.

Amargeto was the guy that gave me the code to get the ticket.
Nothing against you at all.
You seem like a good fella,I'd like to meet you.

But NYC is Geto's place.
What can I say ?
The guy did me a favor.

I'm flying out in the next couple of days.
I'll leave the decision in Geto's hands to where we meet.

It would be cool if we could all meet up at the same place.

Hopefully an agreement can be made.

Shame to miss out on the 1st full Box Rec meet up.
Stay in touch within the next couple of days my friend.

But Geto is the go to guy at this point.
It's his baby at this point.
I'm all for having beer.

Would love to be going to this and having a few beers with Boxrec compatriots as a 'warm-up'. Was in NYC this weekend but didn't bother trying to find out where Calzaghe was training as mistakenly thought he wouldn't be out there yet - imagine my disappointment when I picked up BN upon my return and found out he's been there since last Wednesday :cry:
Have a blast gents, think that whatever the result it will be a great experience :TU:

No worries mate. I might see Geto to upgrade my ticket, so hopefully will bump into you then.

I'll speak to Geto around Wednesday or Thursday by PM.
I arrive into NYC on Thursday.

If he doesn't come up with a venue,I'll show up at your choice of place for a beer or two 100%.

Be nice to meet you.

The Salita fight is worth watching. The Judah fight just isn't competitive and the Augustus fight is a decent match-up but relatively low quality. I thought Gainer had been scratched from the card?

Whatever, be good to meet you for a beer.

I'll be there as it turns out so i'll do my best to pop in. I'm bringing the wife in tow for the first time on a boxing trip but i sure i can distract her at the Jimmy Choo shop and get away.

Jimmy's bar is that tiny little place off Times Square isn't it? I heard of its reputation and went in there to watch the nights boxing on tv years ago and the barman looked at me like he had no idea what i was talking about.

Yes, its on 44th, just off Time Square. Its my local (I work 2 blocks away).

Very few bars show boxing in NYC as there are licensing problems. Believe it or not, Hustler strip club is one of the only places in NYC that shows the PPVs (or at least thats what I told the missus)

Ok.
E, I've still got your number if it ends '02'. I plan to pop into Gleason's to do some training so if anyone fancies a Boxrec spar off let me know. I'm in NY from Thursday evening to Sunday evening.
