Sadly, for the first time since I've been covering the ABAs as a professional (1984) there was not one national newspaper reporter in the audience. I never saw anybody from my ringside seat.
Let's hope that a few proper writers show up in Liverpool on May 29 - the sport needs coverage and the men and women at the ABA in charge of getting the message out need to find out why there was no national coverage.

Adio.s

You pissed last night?

What happened with Andy Kerr? Totally OTT and unprofessional. Watched it with a few pals who already think you're a complete wanker and you only confirmed it. No wonder boxing is in the mess it is with people like you cheerleading it. You were a disgrace - hope you apologise on the next edition of your show.
I wasn't able to watch it. What happened?
x2... :> ?

That was the great thing with Setanta's coverage - it was so comprehensive. In 'the good old days' when the BBC had the rights to the ABAs whole weight classes would be missed out, selected rounds of 3 rnd fights would be shown - it was poor. From Fridays show I feel like I got a good idea of who to look out for in future shows/tournaments. Really looking forward to the next show at the end of the month :TU:
