observations from cologne

[whiteboy]

lovely city

taxi drivers did not know the weigh in venue

mel c is still quite fit

not as fit as the german tv presenter girl

should definately have stopped drinking round friesenplatz before 6am the night before the fight

lanxess arena pissed over anything we've got

german boxing fans like eating popcorn

sturm looked fornicating MASSIVE in the ring

matt boxed great....very, very close

atmosphere was better than expected, place was going mental in the last ten seconds

got completely lost trying to find the afterparty at the radisson post-fight, ended up wandering down the side of some motorway

i'll be back for the rematch

It seemed a very civilised event and it was nice to see plenty of totty there.

Also the lack of Scorpion's playing a German fighter into the ring, was also a delight.

Kolsch beer

ha ha! our paths must have crossed at some stage mate!

You mentioned everything bar the huge brawl between Bosnian bodybuilders and the German biker gang in the foyer after the fight. No pavement dancing for those boys.

As for the fraulein presenter - she was a knockout and made an impression on me - did you see the white dress she had on her on the night!? foook me!
