Eubank should've put his belt on a roadsweeper and pushed that down the aisle.

The "big ben" chimes were fantastic

Nigel Benn's entrances were brilliant. The big ben chimes, the dance music, the lasers were great. Maybe it was because I was very young.

Naz's entrances were epic,i was just a young'un back then and that was my favourite part,i remember taping one of his fights and he came on to Ultra Nate,Free and i thought it was the bollox

The Klitschko's ring walks are cool but the rest of German boxing's are abysmal,you know the ones with the 50 year old Dog the Bounty Hunter lookalike singing some "rock" anthem

Don't slag my wife off

My mind may be playing tricks on me, but I swear there was a show in Germany that had Ronan Keating performing 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls at some stage.

Got me right in the mood for a fight, I have to say.

Did you put you Doc Martins on and have a pogo?

If Groves likes his ring entrances, it explains why he went to Sauerland. ;;-)

As a sidenote, 'Spitfire' by The Prodigy is a beast of an entrance tune - if the £50,000 means I get to hear more of it than I usually would then it's money well spent. 8)

Yup, I remember Sven ottke coming in to right said Fred "you're my mate". Those crazy Germans. They don't get less crazier, just crazier in a different way.

Eddie can probably still hear the boo's from Haye/Harrison, and may have butterflies about what it would feel like to have 80,000 fans around you really pxxxxd off. I don't mean either guy will do an Audley, but as we saw with Hall/Ward, it only takes a bump of heads to ruin things.

I never got that booing. Haye vs Harrison was going to be crap. To be fair, most of us thought Haye would destroy him in the first, rather than stand there and do nothing for the first couple of rounds, then knocking Audley over with the first thrown punch.

I refused to order that pay per view, knowing full well it was going to be shite. Anybody who purchased tickets to that fight expecting it to be a decent fight should've booed themselves really.

A better statement would've been for that card to die on it's arse, with very few people attending or ordering a PPV. Spending money so you can turn up and boo the fact it was a crap fight doesn't make that much difference, Eddie gets his money anyway.
