good stuff,there should be more of this type of thing

There should absoloutly be more of this!with not only a main appearance but also local fighters(aus wide if necessary) that put on barnstorms in their time with some edited highlights maybe even narrated of their fights,be a good change to dinner and an interview, no offence but some of these older fighters laymen dont remember,(I do though)It would make a better experience for all,just my thoughts.And good on em for putting this on!

Sounds like a good night. Have fun fellows.

we are going to do that this year, a video of duran v thompson, with hector being interveiwed,new members are needed as the ten count takes it,s toll each year,young fighters are coming along with their trainers, they hear a few stories.45 continuous years is a good innings.all the best
