Anyone got any serious suggestions for an entrance track?

I'm stuck.

"Sweet Child in Time" by Guns 'n Roses is massively underused as ring music. Check it out. The guitar solo at the start of the song builds up to a massive crescendo as the song kicks in.
And ask the MC not to introduce you, Dean. When you get the call, walk to the ring on spec and let the spotlight pick you out. It makes a fighter look like he really wants it. Announcing a fighter's walk to the ring destroys such spontaneity. In fact, it's boring.

You should come running in, unannounced and jump the mother before he knows whats hit him. Just like the Ultimate warrior Vs the Honkey Tonk man back in the day

I remember George Foreman used to run to the ring (and later Larry Holmes). It was awesome. It's a kind of a play on what I mentioned earlier. Announcing a fighter's ring entrance is a TV phenomenon, designed for those sitting at home, and the paying punters in the hall are the losers. To hear great music, then see the spotlight light up a fighter already on his way to the ring, used to send tingles down one's spine.

Or bring a sexy lady with you to distract the ref, and then twat him with a steel chair!! textbook stuff.

Seriously though, try 'Respect' by the Notorious BIG (off ready to die), whenever I'm about to have a fight with my little sister it gets me in the right mood.

Incidentally, Dean, pick up your nearest Boxing Record Book and look for the KO1 or TKO1 on any fighter's record - then look at his very next fight.
Nine times out of 10, it's a distance fight. Bear that in mind, mate.

What type of music are you into mate? And if it's 'allsorts' (it often is) do you want something hyped, dark and menacing, cheerful, cool and laid back; what?

Thanks Bennie; I will bear that in mind.

Bear this in mind though. How many times out of ten do you see someone come out of years of retirement and dispatch of a 90 fight veteran survivor in half a round.

Boxing is as unpredictable a sport as they come. I'm all for studying trends and written facts, but at the end of the day anything can happen in the ring, and usually does. However, its not so much as so what happens in the ring on fight night, more so what has happened in the weeks prior to the fight in the gym.

Thanks for the advice though; really appreciate it. And thanks for that other thing in the pm earlier Bennie.

How about Breathe by Prodigy, Guaranteed to get the adrenalin and the crowd moving. Great work out track also.

You don`t think most like it then...I think it`s a great build up track.

It`s got to be very loud, otherwise just doesn`t work.

KRS One - Sound Of The Police
Prodigy - Firestarter
Fallacy & Fusion - Groundbreaker
Cypress Hill & Roni Size - Child Of The West
Roots Manuva - Witness

Personally I think any of the above would be wicked to walk to the ring with.

it's all about Beastie Boys

Body Movin' would get the crowd going.

Somebody send the ambulance around to Deans house, he’s electrocuted himself with the CD player.
