The dread he mentioned is a fact in the sport, some hide it better than others, I have even seen Pete Buckley been actually sick with nerves before a bout, any fighter to claims not to feel like that is a liar.

x2

i like his style of writing and like coco found it honest

It would be just as easy to describe it as divisive, considering the number of punch-ups opposing fans seem to end up in. It's interesting that most of the violence at boxing matches is caused by football fans. Boxing fans leave their violence to the men in the ring.

Having never heard of him before, I take it this Russel Brand isn't a boxing man?

He's a British comedian & TV and radio presenter & writer & Sun newspaper shagger of the year and a jammy bastard, he's not a 'boxing man' at all.

He's one of them Hari Krishna blokes as well, so I'm not surprised Russel Brand and Boxing weren't a match made in heaven.

He set the scene well in that article though

Thanks, although seconds after I submitted post, I remembed hearing his name in conjunction with the Johnathon Ross/Man-from-Faulty Towers debacle.
