Untelevised small hall shows
Untelevised small hall shows
Some of the best fights are on these shows but unfortunately not many people get to see them.
I can remember one of the most enjoyable and exhausting fights I have ever seen was at a Koncrete Promotions show in the Metrodome, Barnsley, between Robert Burton and David Kier.
On paper it didn't look a great fight but WOW, I remember leaving the hall feeling absolutley fcuked just from watching it.
Has anyone else seen fights like this on these small, untelevised shows?

You beat me to it Kev, what a show that was. The atmosphere was like a cauldron in there, I thought the crowd were going to rush the ring they were getting so pumped up. That was a fornicating mental night's boxing, I'd like to see those two have a rematch.
I think the Maloney's put on some cracking shows, it would be great if someone like Bravo picked them up, because those are the fights which get non-fans interested.

Regrettably, Kev Taylor's spamming became tiresome and offensive. John Shep's aware of the situation.knockout wrote:thats GAY!!!!!!

You've made 1433 posts, Taylor (give or take one or two recently deleted). And I would ask everyone to check how many of those incorporate your sad little website.Kevin wrote:How can this be spamming?
The best fight I saw last year was Chas Symonds versue Brett James and a great atmosphere! , Where is the spamming here?

if you dont like kev's posts and deem them as spamming thats your call its your site, but lately you have far gone beyond this and you need to draw a line under it.
its schoolboy behaviour.
J, you have to remember that this is a site that gets viewed by alot of people who are all potential viewers of Kev's site. If he is repeatedly advertising and putting up links, I can see why the people who run this place might think it's a bit cheeky.
That doesn't mean I'm knocking him for doing it, I'd probably do the same if I were Kevin, but at some stage you have to accept you'll get stopped from doing it. Do you think Nike.com would put up with Reebok.com advertising for free on their site?

I don't think anyone has a problem understanding that it's considered improper for Kev to advertise his site for free. I don't post links to my articles at maxboxing for that very reason.
There's a difference between that though and just having a blanket ban on any posts, that doesn't seem reasonable.
It's not my argument really, and I'm not willing to get drawn into someone's personal squabbles.
I will say though that these actions reflect badly on the site as a whole, and it's part of the reason that I didn't like the old eastside forum, there appeared to be far too much politics and personal squabbles.

All the time. There was a cracker between two inexperienced lads just on Sunday at Sheffield. A draw was welcome. Both lads gave everything for 6x2. Great scrap.chado wrote:Some of the best fights are on these shows but unfortunately not many people get to see them.

Chado's man, Ali Nuumbembe, features on March 4th in a potentially great scrap against unbeaten welterweight Francis Jones.
It's terrible that the bill - headed by Michael Hunter - won't be televised. If you haven't seen Hunter you are missing a treat.

Chris was in a legendary small hall classic himself, back in the early 80's vs Sid Smith. Brit fight of the year, I think. I just recall reading about it in BN, and they called it one of the best ever seen.THEBUTCH wrote:Classic bouts like the one you mention are often a feature of the small hall show.
Leigh Allis v Valery Odin on Chris Sanigar's show in 2004 might have been the best fight I saw all year.
I wish we still had nobbins, those two deserved a bonus.

If you owned a pub and the landlord from the bar down the road came in a couple of times every day with a loud speaker, shouting: "All drinks half price at my pub, follow me!" Would you think that was a win-win situation (as the pub owner)?

I do take your point. I think the analogies you have offered are rather strained though. Firstly, nike and reebok - as presumably the pub owners - are in direct competition.FlawedGenius wrote:(I'm just playing Devil's advocate)Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:Politics aside, it should be a win-win situation.

Although there is some overlap between this site and ours, I don't really see them in direct conflict. Indeed, Kevin acts as an editor for this site and updates the odd record. A mod asked a records question on here the other day and I had the answer and readily gave it.
Speaking for myself, Boxrec isn't a news site - other than the good info that gets passed on through the forum.
Plus, as alluded to earlier, there is a lot more to the situation than meets the eye.
