The Boxing thread

Yeah I agree. Just my point is, people will watch on free to air, enjoy it, become fans of a certain fighter, then maybe miss out on the big fights cos they can't justify ppv.

We won't be seeing AJ on ch5 anytime soon. Some fight this by the way.

Well deserved Taylor, shanes done a great job with him. Glad it was on free tv, well played ch5.

Cracking fight, genuine "pick 'em" event. And free to air. Thought Taylor was wide open and would be caught by an uppercut, but he nailed it with a peach of a punch.

Jamoye certainly earned his money

Davies threw plenty of fresh air shots, not seen him waste that many before. Got to give credit to Taylor who moved well and frustrated him. Glad i didn't have money on it.

Yep, was very hard to call. Just loved the fact I could sit at home, glass of wine, and watch a cracking fight without recourse to getting a stream through Bluemoon! Seeing Alex Arthur did remind me too of one of the best fights I've seen:



Gomez just walked through him that night.

Some scrap that mate, one of the best domestic fights i've seen. Like you said walked through eveything. Great book if you get chance to read it.

Met Gomez a couple of times. He came to The Hare and Hounds on Shudehill as guest of the City Centre supporters' branch. Great night. He'll never win anything on University Challenge, but you can't deny he made the most of his unlimited "heart". The best boxing night I ever saw live: velodrome, Hatton, Gomez, Farnell. Hatton beat Rowland. Think Farnell lost. Ricky destroyed Jason Rowlands. You just knew he was destined for greatness.

Loved that era. Manchester had some great fighters with the likes of Gomez, Farnell, Hatton and Brodie. I think Josh Taylor is the real deal and will become a world champ.

Yeah was at that fight with the mrs, farnell walked in holding up Roy keanes shirt. Takaloo saw red and ko'd him first rnd. Hatton was brilliant that night, also the last time i took a lady to boxing, turned nasty later on. Good night though, we got a lockin in the bradford.

I remember a few lads running around the track after Farnell lost; few racial undertones possibly. It was rammed, mad hot. I was back in the Hare and Hounds on Shudehill very swiftly after Ricky won. Saw him many times after that, mainly at the MEN. Great times, every fight a proper "occasion".
