I'm the same for big fights

I used to be the same. When Haye/Hatton/Jamie Moore and some others fought I’d be really nervous beforehand. Strange isn’t it!

They were the guys that I followed closely when I started to get really into the sport.

Nowadays I’m fine.

My foster carer took me to watch Ryan Rhodes when I was little I was such a fan of his my stomach was dling backflips I still remember those butterflies.

Boxing is one of those sports isn’t it.

I loved watching all three fighters you mentioned was always willing Jamie to win be left it all in the ring did he. Massive Haye fan but was happy when Carl T beat him as Carl never made massive money so I was just so pleased for him as he was a proper underdog

If we have it at mine it’s usually Chinese. However the place I like doesn’t deliver so depending on timings we may go for fish and chips or a Turkish grill which both deliver.

At my friends it’s a rotation of chicken wings with fries or Chinese.

We probably get together every 2 months.

Pretty much every fight for the last 15 years. Until recently and I have been put on a diet.
For the Crawford fight I ate a tossed salad and water with lemon. It made me grouchy by the end of the card

I was real gutted when Haye lost to Thompson. It’s a bit of a shame there wasn’t a rematch. Perhaps a good thing for Haye given the styles.

Perhaps the most gutted I’ve been though is when Moore lost against Ryan Rhodes. I was watching on tv with my dad and neither of us really swore but I remembered shouting at the tv ‘ahhh…fornicate’ when Moore was floored. Steve Wood sent me a signed poster from the Macklin fight. Had it framed and it’s still in my home office.

Known Joe since he was a baby as his Pa owned our gym. He is going far in BKFC. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. But too nervous too eat again for me! Dec Spelman on too, my ex father in law used to sponsor him and watched him a lot, once had such a good fight Thomas Hauser wrote in Boxing News it was one of the best fights he had seen.

I don't fancy Degale's chances though, he looks a bit damaged - not said with disrespect.

What did you think to Joe tonight? I think he fought the wrong fight.

I thought this would happen. He needs to live the right life. Most of you know my family background, he should not be hanging around any of them. He is a lovely lad but young, he needs protecting from those influences.

It was avoidable this as his talent is beyond this but the outcome was wholly deserved.

And what with my illness meaning I do not care about being honest, BKFC is rife with steroids and HGH and someone is going to get killed. I watched the whole card of BKFC last night. All bar 3 fighters are using steroids.

what are your fave fight snacks/foods/drinks?

For the ol Friday night fights on Sky, home cooked steak fajitas with a few spliffs.

These days the fights are on at mad times so usually snacks like Twiglets, bacon rolls etc.
