I can remember one of the most enjoyable and exhausting fights I have ever seen was at a Koncrete Promotions show in the Metrodome, Barnsley, between Robert Burton and David Kier.
On paper it didn't look a great fight but WOW, I remember leaving the hall feeling absolutley fcuked just from watching it.
Has anyone else seen fights like this on these small, untelevised shows?
All the time. There was a cracker between two inexperienced lads just on Sunday at Sheffield. A draw was welcome. Both lads gave everything for 6x2. Great scrap.
Chado's man, Ali Nuumbembe, features on March 4th in a potentially great scrap against unbeaten welterweight Francis Jones.
It's terrible that the bill - headed by Michael Hunter - won't be televised. If you haven't seen Hunter you are missing a treat.
Yep, should be a good fight, looking forward to it.
The dvd only lasts a few minutes James, pop it on its quite interseting.
Ali's mate Frankie Freddericks is on it, who is now on the Olympic Games Voting Commitee, I think they are still in London checking out the set up. He really enjoyed it when he came to the UK to watch Ali box, lets hope he gives his vote for the UK in 2012.

Votes?
You've made 1433 posts, Taylor (give or take one or two recently deleted). And I would ask everyone to check how many of those incorporate your sad little website.
Bennie, I read here all I can but rarely get to post. Your poor, often nasty, attitude has encouraged me to on this occasion.
I am afraid to say I used to think u were an alright bloke but have come to learn u r a sad w@nker of the highest order, who has found limited success through riding on the coat tails your (sound) brother.
Didnt you used to write for that same 'sad little website' until your bro talked Claude into giving u coffee making duties at BN?
By the way Bennie I am ringside at all the shows round Brum/Midlands so come and say hello if u have a problem with any of this.
Oh yeah, in answer to the question, Simon Sherrington and Leroy Williamson put on a high paced entertaining 6x2s on Pat Cowdell's last show. Small hall boxing make for fantastic value for money shows.
My mate Gary Coombes, is one such small hall warrior - he is never in a bad fight.

Dug it out yesterday, will be bedtime viewing this evening.
I know someone here who is going to the hunter fight rather than the Clinton Woods bout. I think I've seen hunter once, cannot remember where though.

I think Hunter is a great little fighter he was shown on Tv a while back when Burke challenged Zoff for the European Title,
Should be a good card on the 4th at Hartlepool, which again brings us back to the meaning of this thread which is giving credit to the untelevised small hall shows.
I was lucky enough to watch a video of the Chas Symonds v Brett James fight that was a cracker and as mentioned above Leeroy Williamson, I know he is a Nobby Nobbs lad but I have seen him in a few good bouts, the best I've seen him in was against Mark Paxford at Oldham.

Most importantly the boxers must take credit for being prepared to put on a great fight, but I have to mention that not only does Chris Sanigar deliver quality shows, he seems to care about his punters.
During a contest he had to get from one side of the ring to another. Not only did he crouch down to avoid spoiling the view from everyone he actually verbally apologised too.
I wonder how many other promotors treat their customers with the same respect?

yip ill go along with that, spoke to Chris on the fone once for the BBN about Scott Dann(can someone give him some tv coverage though) and Chris he was a perfect Gent.
Scott seemed a nice chap too.
