Nigel Benn v Lou Gent at the Olympia. Half the crowd was E'd up. effing mental atmosphere. No one expected Gent to win but everyone had a good time anyway
Although the Steve Collins bout was as dull as fck. That was when he was primarily a boxer. His later style was a lot more fan friendly.
I was there too! (No Es though.) it was my first big fight, and a weird atmosphere. Some shady people! I thought Collins looked really poor that night and thought he would do nothing. Just an off night I guess
I was one of the shady people
There were lots of East End "I'm a Gangster" types there with big titted blonde birds all thinking they're the mutts nuts. They were taking things very seriously.
Then there was a Rave crowd from South London area there for a laugh. Probably all went to MoD after.
Do you remember the crowd going nuts when Gent would 'trap' Benn on the ropes & throw in a load of wide punches only for Benn to do his usual spring off the ropes with a dozen punches in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile the crowd were singing "Saaf Lahndan, rah rah rah. Saaf Lahndan, rah rah rah"
Hahahhaha yeah. Good times. I was young and extremely naive and didn't even understand the crowd. I even got a warning for standing in the wrong place by some 'face' dressed in a nice coat, with a good tan and some aforementioned standard blonde with big tits... Who was the older 'gent' with dark glasses who seemed to be a villain. Alex Steen? He was a Gent backer I think

That was a weird ending. Eggy just letting himself get hit over & over.

Eggington reminds me of Lurch, or the ugly kid from the goonies.

Looks like he has been hitting a bong for the last month.

I must have gone to 12-15 Benn fights & there was always that sort of crowd there.
Except the rematch with Eubank. For that one we were in a box with the Man Utd youth team. No E's that night but plenty of charlie flying about.

Right on the liver.
Edit - No actually right into the rib, might be a broken rib or two there.

Bloody hell, well done Eggy. I didn't agree with the commentary having Eggy ahead but fair play to him, he finished it in style.

Peach of a shot, fair play Sam. Had it 5-2 Paulie at the time of the stoppage.

To be fair his limitations are farily plain to see. He is entertaining to watch though

That was a brilliant bodyshot from Eggington to end things, Malignaggi jabbed well at times and had the moment when he seemed to hurt Sam at the end of a round but Eggington was the better man throughout for me, I'm surprised Paulie was ahead on 2 cards, Eggington was too tall and the right hand landed too easy and stunned Malignaggi more than once
As I said though great left to the body

Fair play to Paulie, I'd rather he hadn't taken this fight but he wasn't disgraced, I had him 2 up.

Great finish, Eggington by stoppage and Yamanaka by stoppage this week were ridiculously well priced

That's true but mallignaggi is a few years removed from his best days and was winning the fight

Class from Paulie. I bet he doesn't understand a word Eggington says.

Paulie Malignaggi has a career ahead in commentary if he wants it. Eggy definitely doesn't.

Which is exactly why you would put a 23 year old kid in with him. That's how you learn.

Despite being one of the two fighters, he managed to analyse his own fight more objectively that Smith and Froch!

I thought Paulie-Sam was the chief support? Is Haye-Bellew going to be on before 10, or what are they going to do for the next half hour, the next hour?
