my first boxing event....loved it!!!

[Jesus]

attended the "night of champions" at wembley arena last night and loved every second of it, but i must say despite there not being alot of them there the welsh fans was so vocal and loud for the clev fight that it made for an electrifying atmosphere, was disappointed with some of the english crowd chanting things such as "sheep shaggers" and "stick your dragon up your ass" but was probably just abit of friendly banter, watching live you see how hard heavyweights actually hit some of the shots chisora hit baker with you could hear the thud all around the arena, anyway heres some vids from my cam phone its not good quality but just shows and example of the great atmosphere that night....enjoy

my advice:

avoid Warren bills unless you simply love the olympians (its a moral stance)

avoid the xcel


def watch boxing at the York Hall Bethnal Green

and def watch light heavy/ cruiser/ and heavyweight Prizefighter comps !!!

thats a yay, the polish fans will make it a great atmosphere traveling up from widnes for this

[funso banjo baby]

well if Audley goes into his shell it'll be a huge nay...its very risky with Auds...hes the bugner of the 21st century.

i mainly like the Heavies but i also want a decent undercard ...thats why prizefighter has been so good....its a full night of entertainment from start to finish ... no padding.....

I second Funso's advice on York Hall. I really like it there. Great atmosphere, great view.

My first show was at Manor Place Baths in Walworth, round 1977. Mick Minter topped the bill, brother of Alan. There as a really tough Italian brawler on the card, Salvo Nucifero. He made it to the big venues.

I was there. I remember Robert Smith calling the place a "dump" but you could park on wasteground across the road for free and, inside, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Oh man, Kotelnik was robbed!

[15829]

yeah couldnt believe it when they called it a draw, was a great show

m'baye v kotelnik
mathews v simpson
mitchell v ramogodi
and the likes of smith watson and quigley on the undercard

Yes, it was a brilliant show - no frills, no delays between fights - just great action. I DO remember something which jarred as I made my way across the road into the venue. Slung across the top of it were huge bill-posters of forthcoming events, one of which was a UFC event featuring former boxer Andreas Panayi, a Cypriot tough-guy.
I found that sad.

[hitman_hatton1]

it sounded quite sparse in there.

must have only shifted a few thousand.

wembley is 12,000 full i think.

Great fight (Neary-Holligan), shame about the referee.
