Title: Saturday Here I Come
Post by: Mr F on March 14, 2006, 12:45:29 PM
Passport? Check
Euro's?  Check
Translator? Check

No I'm not going to Glasgow on Saturday.  I'll be making the trip to Monte Carlo a week late to watch my mate Gareth Couch box.  I'm gutted about missing the bash but Saturday promises to be fantastic.  There's about ten of us going from my local.  Gareth does a large part of his training in the back bar, I love to see the looks on the faces from newbies who walk in to find a guy pounding a bag hanging by the pool table!  For anyone who knows the British scene Roman Greenburg is on the bill, he trains in the same gym as Gareth (when he's not in the pub) and Ricky Hattons brother is fighting as well so it promises to be a good night.

We are getting there at about 11am.  So if Spoony Flushy etc think there's anything in particular I should look out for, visit please let me know.  I'm going with a load of blokes so the best venues for Norkage is much appreciated, not for me obviously, I'm all about the culture.

Oh and if Scots Dave is missing me too much just turn on Eurosport and you might make me out somewhere in the crowd!!
Cheers

I have been known to pound a bag or two round the  back of the local....

Laz, you're telling that to the wrong person!!  I know what local you used to have remember, and the sort of bags you can find round there!!

I've just found out that my local paper has sorted out a press pass for this.  Should be interesting.

GREETINGS FROM MONTE CARLO

Have been here a while now.  Trying to use a french keyboard is interesting.  Will be checking the updates later.  Have found out that our group has got entry to the after show party!  Free food free drink.  Woohoo!!

What a weekend.  It was absolutely amazing.  Gareth won his fight easy won every round and outclassed the guy.  He'll be fighting in Vegas in May, don't think I'll make that one though.  Also met a certain Ricky Hatton.  Had the best time.
