A couple of Hennessy cards were fantastic watch.

Clinton Woods v Rico Hoye was fantastic. It also had the likes of David Haye on the undercard amongst others

Yes, I was at that one, Sheffield Leisure centre I believe.

I remember seeing Carl Thompson batter Haye, that was a cracker, Thomson v Rothmann was one of the most dramatic fights I've ever seen.

Froch v Kessler 2 was a good one.

I am of course missing the obvious one, I watched Pacquaio's first fight with Marquez, which also had Miguel Cotto on the undercard. That was some event to be at, made it even better as I was there in the press section so was really close to the action.

Seeing Hatton at the MEN though, I have never seen an atmosphere at a boxing match like it, before or since.

That must have been an incredible night.

that was a great card, my mate knew Carl Baker so was cheering him on too. Femi Fehintola on that card too, loved watching him. He's been through lots out the ring so it's good to see him well again.

Justin Juuko (maybe his oppoenent Tony Pep)
Nicky Piper
Kevin Lueshing
Glenn Cately
Daniel Alicia (fought Naz a year or so after)
Jason Matthews.

Surely that has happened before but that was a very decent undercard.

Sounds it! Good ending with the lady becoming your missus though. Did you know Femi at all? His birth father was na interesting character, Lanre, was a famous photographer who descended into drugs https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/j ... otographer very sad.

I got to know Femi very well. Dennis tried his best. To keep Femi too boxing so much so paid for him to have a permanent room at the Hilton Sheffield when he was in training.

Clinton Wood was good friend with Fem.

Alas, I feel his personal life put paid to him realising his true potential.

The team at. Fight Academy were quite close and Femi’s devastating loss against Ryan Barrett gutted us all because all of us were. Desperate for Femi to succeed but it wasn’t to be . The last time I heard from him was a few months ago.

As far as Carl Baker is concerned he posts on here, I won’t divulge his username.

Carl has always tried to support me on here when I go off the rails. A thoroughly decent. Bloke.
