December 3, 20223 yr Yes, I just enjoy them much more. The vibe is totally different. Seen plenty of boxing at Robin Park which I love as a venue (including Fury's 2nd pro fight) but far too small for major dust ups. Seen a few domestic tear ups there - Murray/McAllister was a belter

Aye, used to go to a few back in the day including both of them. Everton sports centre for a couple of Ricky Hattons early fights, a place in Stoke too I can't just remember the name of - The Forge? Local boxing was ace. Probably still is but all us single lads who went most Friday nights are now wed and I prefer the footy

Did a few other of Khan's fights, Kotelnik, Barrett, Maidana and conned the wife he had a chance against Canelo so I had to be in Vegas. Got tickets upgraded to $1500 tickets and free pre fight bar. Seats were superb. Probably due to arena not being a sell out rather than me having a BWFC union jack
