Has there ever been a box rec gathering/piss up

Post by Josh1111 »

Just wondering, if as many posters as possible have ever met up, discussed boxing over a swift half (or several pints)

If not, do you think it would be worth a try? the banter would be flying along with a few fists along the way :bag:

Someone mentioned one in Hamburg, could anyone PM if you have any details of a meet, would love to put a name to a few faces.

We'll be in Hamburg from about lunchtime onwards.

Once I've been to the weigh in and probably written a little bit on it, I'll no doubt be meeting Real Deal in some Hamburg bar.

He'll nurse a pint for an hour, I'll buy him another then he'll stumble to the nearest Burger King :lol:

Someone with the experience of Shirow will be able to nominate a decent Brit-friendly boozer in the Old Town, one hopes.

Be fun to organise another, a shame that J is no longer in London - gosh myself and Ian MC spent some rare old evenings with J.

I remember poor old Ian leaving to go to a meeting somewhere in a rather shambolic state.....

Also went on the peeve with Ian M and his pal up in Sheffield once which left rather a dent in the old kidneys.

I was going to be part of that too. I can't justify this trip as I was in Germany to 'go to' Wlad v Chisora too!

I think we should arrange something in this country, get as many posters there as possible and hopefully get a few of the pro's along who post on here. I know thats unlikely but worth a shot.

We should agree a city and a date later in the year and make it big. Then one of the writers on here should write about it, it would be a great night

Actually Ian, it's been rather a long time old pal! Be good to catch up with you again. I didn't fancy the hamburg trip, mainly in case it got cancelled again, but you know what, I might look at some last minute flights/hotels.

Shizhe! There's no room at the inn it would appear.
