Edinburgh JT Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm thinking of going down to see "the hitman" in May at the City of Manchester stadium with a mate and was wondering what the atmosphere etc... is like at these events i.e. if you're up the back of the upper section in a stadium is it still worth going? Surely witnessing the comeback of Ricky Hatton would be a good spectacle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindy Badgy Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I saw Naseem Hamed fight the Spanish bloke in what I think was Hamed's last fight. It was at London Arena (I think). I was right at the back and the view was crap. The atmosphere was pretty rubbish as the fight was honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it is is a tune up fight for Paulie Malignaggi. I love boxing and love Ricky Hatton but the only way I would go to this event was if someone bought me a ticket. He should be trying to build a legacy for himself at Light Welterweight, not fighting folk that are past their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but equally I would have thought it would be a better atmosphere than that type of fight would normally merit due to the fact that its a comeback fight and as you say he'll blast this "unknown" (Juan Lazcano) out of the ring. The cheapest tickets are about ?25 I think so not too bad for a nights boxing entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a bit peeved as he said that felt he only had 5 fights left in him, and he is wasting one of them on this guy. It will still be a good night. Hopefully they can give the fans a good undercard aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
