    The fact is I can name off a number of terrific trainers you never heard of the reason being your NOT in the boxing business! You don't have accredidations on "google" and you don't get experienced in the sport playing on forums! If you can't recongnize that I know what I'm talking about it just furthers the fact you know little!! And if I were 6 months dead you couldn't whip my azzz!

    There is NO shame in being a B-class fighter there IS shame when people can't tell the difference between top tier and B-class and consider B to be GREAT! If England had more boxing gyms and less "clubs" and way more "trainers and far less "coaches" you could develop more fighters!! Plus after their 18-0 take them to Italy or Germany to prepare them to come to the USA so when they get their shot their not "overwhelmed"! Ray
    This isn't even about fighters or levels. It's about British fans and whether they create the best atmosphere. Stay on topic my man.

      The atmosphere was amazing, everyone was just completely trashed. There's always a sense of occasion at a big British fight. I actually think if American fans were more like British fans in the way they create an atmosphere we'd probably see more good fights in America. Sometimes the atmosphere at an American boxing event just lacks the energy of Latin America and the UK.

        I agree, I was there the atmosphere was amazing !! Kessler got booed during the fight but at the end he got a massive round of applause. It was a great night !!

          Americans are weird though, Holyfield v Tyson was one of those rare fights fight with great atmosphere, it's inconsistent in the US. But the UK/Mexico regardless of crowd size you can still expect it to be a great event.

            I went to the fight, and the crowd were deafening. Great atmosphere. Eventhough i dont like the football crowd, they were great. Much bigger noise than at the recent Amir Khan fight and even Hatton - Pac in Vegas (if that was in England it would have been mental
            ).

              Denmark > any place for atmosphere, sorry.

              The Kessler - Froch I in Denmark were so much louder.

                  And someone else went;

                  "Andre Ward? Never heard of him. Who the **** is Andre Ward......?

                  WHOOOOO THE ****ING HELL ARE YOU......."

                  You can guess what comes next The whole side of the 02 screaming that at Ward.

                  He was laughing though, he was laughing it up.

                  Another guy tried to get "ARE YOU HOPKINS IN DISGUISE" going but it didn't quite take off

                  Was great, the atmosphere last night was incredible. I was at Eubank-Benn in 1990 and it was absolutely comparable to that.

                  Was my first UK fight for quite a while. I missed it, to be honest.

                  Everyone around me was blind drunk by fight time haha.
                  Shy blocks a lot of the crowd chants out, at the Haye-Chisora fight thousands were chanting "You fat bastard" but could barely be heard on the TV Broadcast.

                    Maybe I'm biased. But there was nothing like seeing Johnny Tapia fight in albuquerque. The craziest atmosphere I've ever been in.

                      Haha I was there too mate. Section 114 right? Was funny that.

                      Also saw Ward afterwards when he came out of TV bit for a few pictures. All good banter.
