Rob Mcracken told me that he's been ringside for loads and its better watching it on tv.

i prefer it live for the atmosphere like the froch v dirrel fight wasnt that exciting on the tv but but the atmosphere in the arena made it better

correct. I don't like ringside. You want to be a little further back than that. Ringside highly overrated imo.G0mez wrote:A dozen.

perhaps 80 shows amateur and pro.

I generally prefer to watch at home. I've been to a few this year. A couple of Prizefighters and McDermott-Fury. The crowd trouble at McDermott-Fury made me decide to stick to Prizefighters and TV/computer for now.

that's because , who's it??...Tom Glover isn't what you'd call a vicious puncher, or even a natural puncher in my eyes. And yet he was chief support against a guy who'd not fought in 18 months. I bet Joe Calzaghe never had such a weak chief support as that. Don't get me wrong, I think Glover is as gutsy as they come and made a real go it with what he's got.

....often thought about how to get into that myself......I am guessing you start off with an expensive camera and a phone-call to the show promoter? Hope you get a big one soon btw as you say.Re: how many show do you attend

He said "Im working hard on making a fight with Tarver at 175lb"
I said "Well he's signing for golden boy so I wouldn't work too hard kid ! "
He stormed off in a huff

I go to about 12-15 shows a year, mainly York Hall, as well as any other outstanding match ups around the country (and/or my faves Froch and Haye) like Dodson-Quigley (that show was also supposed to include Small-Rhodes).
