What an absolutely fantastic night that was!

I remember four of us went up, and the Friday night we was absolutely steaming, running around Manc drinking at anywhere that would let us in. Got to the MEN on the Saturday, cheap tickets up in the gods, and one of the lighting gantries was hanging at an angle and obstructing the view. Naturally kicked off that we weren't going to miss the fight because of that, and they moved us downstairs to the section of seats that was just outside the ringside ones (there were quite a few empty seats around us, so not sure if it was a sell out?). Spotted Gordon Ramsey and a couple of other celebs knocking around.

The fight itself was stunning, I'd bought into the Lacy hype as well, and thought it was going to be a really tough fight too. When the guys were chanting "easy easy" in the second or the third, I thought the pendulum was going to swing back...but it never did! Awesome night, probably my favorite throughout Joe's career. Ten years goes by too fast!
