Fight night

Fun and games for almost all in Manchester

Last updated: 08th April 2010

Fight night
When I finally got to the MEN I realised my seat was miles back. Then I look down and all I can see is Tubes, Steve and Lavvers having a whale of a time at ringside!

Chris
Quotes of the week

In case you haven't noticed David Haye has been on the show a fair bit this season!

The heavyweight champion of the world made his fourth appearance a few weeks back and who knows... he might even make it back onto the orange sofas before the end of the season!

With that in mind we thought it was only right a few of us went to Manchester on Saturday night to support him as he defended his title against John Ruiz, and naturally we had a ball... well almost all of us.

Chris turned up an hour late after getting lost trying to find his hotel and things just went from bad to worse for the angriest man in the office...

"When I finally got to the MEN I realised my seat was miles back," he told us. "Then I look down and all I can see is Tubes, Steve and Lavvers having a whale of a time at ringside!

"If that wasn't bad enough the girl sitting next to me decided it would be funny to draw on the £700 suit I borrowed from my brother with a red pen!

"Then to top my night off we queued for an hour and a half for the after-party and didn't even get in!"

Erm... it could have been worse?

Hollyoaks

Still, as Chris alluded to it, the rest of the boys had 'a whale of a time'.

Tubes got to sit next to Sky Sports' very own Andy Burton and managed to get his picture taken with one of the girls from Hollyoaks.

While Steve was happy to leave Chris hanging outside while he chatted away with fight referee Guillermo Perez Pineda in the tunnel!

Back in London Simon has been finding it difficult to contain his excitement after learning '80s girl band Bananarama are on this week's show.

"It's not an obsession, just a healthy interest," he told us after revealing some fun facts about the band.

Star Wars

While Dev headed to London's O2 on fight night to watch the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play a live score as excerpts from the six Star Wars films were shown on a cinema screen.

A bemused Trev questioned why anyone would want to go and see it, but as you would expect this was right up Simon's street!

"How was it!?" he asked Dev excitedly.

"It was really good... but we left half way through the second-half."

Not really selling it Dev!

See you on Saturday
