Brawl at the Hall

Since I’ve followed boxing it’s always annoyed me at the cost of actually going to see a live show with ticket prices not varying throughout the various levels of professional boxing unless it’s a super fight which tends to be out of reach for us normal people.

Luckily my kids decided to box and I got involved with our local gym and was opened up to the world of Amateur boxing, now most may scoff that I should have known this but if you’re like me and have never stepped into this world then please read on (so should those that scoff but only cause I like to be popular 🙂 )

For those that are in the dark please visit your local gyms and check out your local area websites for any up and coming show, tickets are generally on the cheap side (10 pound a head for the above show, showing roughly 11+ fights) and the atmosphere is great and more importantly I think is more suited to any young ones you want to introduce.
The People’s Gym, Heywood, tries to hold at least one annually and is well attended by adults and Kids alike, the atmosphere is fantastic and the respect shown by most boxers is immense and in my opinion shows the youngsters how they should act in and around the ring.

As you will read, it’s also the opportunity to showcase the up and comers and on some occasions make a dream come true.

Without going into full-on review mode on the card at Heywood Civic Hall, Manchester. It was a fun filled night with lots of exciting bouts, an absolutely brilliant atmosphere and a great evening for all involved. The skills bouts were superb with a special mention going to Ryan Robinson and Dimon Parker who thrilled the crowd in the first round going punch for punch before having 2 very close 2nd and 3rd rounds. A bright future is in the stars for both boys if they can stay dedicated.

Acacia Barron once again showed she looks like one for the future as she stopped her opponent by TKO in the first round, If you get the chance then go watch this youngster as you may be able to say one day that you was there at the start of her journey.
