Shockingly, despite having been a boxing fan since childhood, I had until last weekend never been to a live event. But when Froch Kessler II was announced, I simply had to go.
I travelled down to London with my wife and two friends (5 hour drive), and had one of the best nights of my life. We had excellent tickets, at about ring height, and in a perfect position. In fact none of us could believe just how close we were to the action.
Watching boxing live for the first time was truly a revelation, TV just can't portray the skill, brutality and sheer drama of each fight.
The headline fight was incredible. 19,000 people going ape****, everybody in the arena on their feet for the last round (apart from the mardy tw*ts at ringside); two of the best fighters in the World going toe to toe for twelve rounds. Amazing.
We all said afterwards, we can't wait to go again, all four of us are well and truly hooked
