Wayne Mccullogh Press Conference
20TH NOVEMBER 2007:
Ramada Hotel
Shaws Road
Belfast
11.00am

Very good. Anyone going? Is it open to the public?

Fecking work! I'd love to go, that hotel is only a mile and a half away from me too!

Looking forward to the fight! You going Steve?

Yes all being well i will be going to the fight and hopefully i can trot along to the press conference tomorrow as well. Don't start work until the afternoon and Shaw's Bridge isn't too great a distance to get too. Anyone else going along tomorrow?

The Shaws Road part confused me a little at first. Is it not Shaw's Bridge? I thought the Ramada was in between Malone and the Milltown Road. I think Shaws Road is in Andersonstown.

Where did you get the source from Ted? I wish i had rang ahead because i was a bit dubious about the location, either i had the wrong Ramada or it was never on because i ventured out in the rain and the reception people looked at me with two heads when i mentioned what i was there for! The only meeting on was the "Annual Diabetes N.I. 2007 conference" which i might have needed as my blood levels rose to the boil

What's the story here?

Its starting at 11.30 mate, you'd better get down there.

The promotional team texted me.

At what venue? The Ramada had absolutely no word of it, they even rang the manager and he didn't know either. It's not on any of the notice boards in reception.

Steve check your PM

Sounds like a bit of a mess, is this fight definitely happening?

O yes.

Mcullough should retire - he is warrior, but has gone as far as he's going to go and eats punches like they're breakfast.

I thought he had become a trainer?

I think he trained Enrique Ornelas for the Sam Soliman bout and also did Alex Arthur for one bout as well (one of Arthur's now many ex-trainers) remember the infamous interview in the corner when the instructions were being given by Wayne in between rounds? Brilliant work from ITV

Oh and wasn't McCullough someway involved with Librado Andrade? Or did i imagine that one.

He was in Andrade's corner for the Kessler fight

Ya McCullough trained Andrade too(him and Ornelas are brothers) .

Really? I didn't know that. Ornales is ordinary but was beating Soliman early on, if he had of kept the pace going i think he would have scored the upset win.

Hi Steve, did you get there in the end was it at "Shaws Bridge" just up from Malone roundabout and down from Belvoir

I saw it on the news, McCullough saying most people think he'll get beat but he knows what he can do.

Looking forward to it, I still believe if he takes Martinez "Rounds" its not out of his reach.

I went Chris but apparently the Ramada staff don't know what's going on on their own first floor! I came away empty handed, hopefully the Duddy presser will be better organised when it comes around.

Thats a shame Steve, can't believe the staff did not know what was going on in their own building! Mad! ...hopefully you catch the Duddy one to make up for it. I never get to see these things as they are always on when I'm in work. Caught McCullough on UTV yesterday at it.
