When you have attended a fight, what was your favourite atmosphere?

Whats your favourite venue?

David Walker v Roman Karmazin at Ally
Pally … the atmosphere was outstanding

Another was Clinton Woods v Rico Hoye … I had a load of squaddies there and they were under orders to make a racket.

Another was Riga in Latvia for Mairis Briedis v Uleksandr Usyk … unbelievable atmosphere.

Favourite venue is York Hall Bethnal Green

Best venue is my mates house, fridge full of cold beer and a top curry house down the road. No coked up bellends and mingling toilets.

I was at the first two as it happens. Hoye was a very good win for Clinton, as Hoye was highly touted at the time.

Karmazin was always going to be all wrong for David Wslker, but his fans were buoyed by booze, coke and unsubstantiated belief, it was raucous as he'll.

On the way back on the bus, I talked to two walker fans, who claimed Karmazin was lucky and Walker had an off night.

When I pointed out politely that Karmazin had been expected to win handily by most in the sporting press, because he was known to be both tough and a world class operator, they were livid and started getting extremely lairy.

Can't argue with this

Madison Square garden or Vegas for a super fight one day is definitely on my bucket list.

Once I was supposed to fight in that famous hall in Belfast, it was Xmas and they were pre booked for a concert or something, ended up in a lesiure centre, Darren Corbett topped, small place, best atmosphere I experienced

Done Vegas and MSG, but York Hall for me, all day, every day.

Interesting mate, how was it the worst?

Wish I could have been at Mormeck-Haye, a few on here have given good accounts of it.

I went to one of the big Warrington bills in Leeds and it was a good atmosphere.

First time I fought there I was late, as I'd only taken the fight at lunchtime, they stuck me on last, about 12.30am, everyone had gone home, there was a couple of fellas sweeping up!

Oh jeez! That would explain it mate

I used to like the G-Mex in Manchester. Watching Eubank fight there a few times was Electric.

Wembley Arena is ok, being a smaller arena you get good views of the ring even at the back.

O2 is a little bit high for me you can get a little bit anxious if you are scared of heights.

Leeds Arena ok but you don't get a 360 view of the ring.

Wolverhampton civic been to some cracking shows their.

When Hatton beat Tszyu and Bernard Dunne just before he came out to get smashed by Kiko Martinez.

Probably York Hall

There was an amazing atmosphere in the national sports centre in Dublin, packed out, big noise, the Irish do it best.

Donny Dome for me just cos that's where I went as a kid and watched Jonny Nelson, remember being so excited and thinking the crowd was easily a million people!

Boxed there too, was a good atmosphere or did I? Maybe it was Barnsley, I'll have to check

Just checked, I did!
When you pack a leisure centre out it's a great atmosphere.

MSG for sure. been a few times. Cotto vs Margarito 2 was outrageously loud.
