– I will be there for this event in my hometown of South Philadelphia.
– Slight change in personnel; buddy can’t make it, 90-year-old dad doesn’t want to go, so I have to take the wife-stoppo.
– She has been to the fights with me several times over the many years, usually at one of the NJ casinos or Boardwalk Hall in AC NJ.
– Have to be on my best behavior now.
– First time at the Wells Fargo Center.
– Phillies game at the same time so traffic will be a real PITA.
– Will be in my seat for the first undercard bout.
– South Philly here I come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you Gary! Never been to Philly! My sister got a PHD at Temple though so she spent some time there. My wife has stepped in a couple of times when a buddy has pulled out of an event..it happens to the best of us!
“My sister got a PHD at Temple”
– We have something in common.
– Yours truly graduated from Temple U way back in 1986 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Going to Philly Boxing shows is something Id prefer to go to with the homies. Not the most preferred place to escort the wife. Its something in the air, the fans dont want to just watch the fights but want to get in on the action too. And Im sure all of tristate will show for this fight.
Ive been to the more smaller shows in Philly, not at Wells Fargo Center.
I Will need to miss this one.
And keep the lady away from Eddie Hearn, he is super slick 🙂
“Going to Philly Boxing shows is something Id prefer to go to with the homies”
– Back in the 90’s, USA Network’s Tuesday Night Fights would broadcast from the Legendary Blue Horizon, in North Philly.
– I went to both high school and college in North Philly, so I can safely say that the area is a war zone.
– However, the Blue was such a special place for boxing, that I brought my dad there to see Fernando Vargas vs Anthony Stephens in 1998, because rumors were that the venue was going to close soon.
– Best place that I ever saw live fight.
– If you were lucky enough to get a front row balcony seat, you could almost touch the fighter in the corner, if you both stretched out…..
Love the Blue Horizon balconies. Just had to be careful as to which train station to exit.
Please have a big sign’ Gary G’ so that we can see you made it safe!
“Please have a big sign’ Gary G’”
– I will be in Section 107, Row 13, Seats 5 and 6.
– Look for the old, short, bald guy arguing with his wife and losing 🙂
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Even Claressa Shields kind of admitted she gets a little weak around Eddie!! A successful man who looks like him I would guess has to be careful!!! Although I am neither so I am only guessing!! LOL!!
Undercard looks solid.
Khalil Coe ready to do some damage.
Im wondering if Ennis will call out Crawford after he wins especially if he wins by KO……
That fight would never happen at 147.
