I'm going tomorrow night to watch local Leeds fighter Josh Warrington, has anyone been before? I have no idea what to expect really. There are about 5/6 decent fights on the card and it's not bad value for £35...think the pints will be pusing 4/5 quid a go mind....
Boxing is a great night out .Or used to be when I was back in the Motherland. One of my mates Dad was a manager/promoter so we used to follow his fighters around . Rocky Kelly getting done by Kostas Petrou in Durham for the British welterweight springs to mind..It took f'cking ages to get up there( I always thought WTF is it up here Petrou was a Brummie) and we thought Rocky was gonna piss it. Then Rocky verses Kirkland Laing . At least that was in London.

Saw Rocky fight Steven Watt in the tragic fight down at Lillie rd and saw Andy Furlong give him a hell of battering before getting stopped over in Battersea arts centre . Who was the Promoter and manager whose fights you used to follow Harry Holland ?

Yes mate..Grew up with his son John.Rocky was never the same after the Steve Watt fight ( understandable) Did you ever see Garry Hobbs fight?

Gary Hobbs was a local boy .Won the southern area middleweight and was a decent prospect. A brawler but hard as f'ck.(Especially out of the ring ). His career was cut short by a freak injury at his other job.A car aerial poked him in the eye and he lost the use of it. Here's Hobbsy on the box winning the Southern Area.

I'm a huge boxing fan and go to a lot of fights. You'll have a good night, it's a unique atmosphere and always builds into a frenzy for the main fight.
Josh Warrington is a big prospect and has already got himself a big fantastical following so they will be noisy!
