              No wonder you spotted him, huh. :laff2:

              Did you camp out for a whole day or just mooch around for a short while in the hope that you'd see someone?

                  You may or may not know these guys, depending on where you're from, but I went to the weigh-in for the 1st Martin Rogan-Sam Sexton fight for the Commonwealth HW title. It was this time last year and I talked to Roggie for about 10 minutes after it, he was a gent. I also had a quick word with Sam Sexton, Billy Joe Saunders and James DeGale. I don't know if weigh-ins would normally be like this... I got to stay longer than everyone else because a guy from my gym was fighting on the card.
