BURNETT: ADAM BOOTH HAS THE PLAN TO BEAT HASKINS
Belfast talent putting faith in trainer to take IBF World title
SAN DIEGO- (Juni 5, 2017)-Ryan Burnett believes he has the perfect man in his corner in Adam Booth to get the gameplan right to take the IBF World Bantamweight title from Lee Haskins when they clash at the SSE Arena Belfast on Saturday June 10, live på AWE–A Wealth of Entertainment at 3 PM ET / 12 PM ET
Burnett faces the Bristol ace in his first World title shot and it’s a welcome return to his hometown after over three and a half years on the road.
Burnett’s last outing in Belfast in November 2014 was his first fight with Booth and the pair have moved seamlessly to 16-0 and on the brink of World glory as their partnership has blossomed in Booth’s Surrey gym.
Booth has been in the corner for many World title fights with David Haye and Burnett feels that having those expertise behind him can be the difference.
“Adam believes I am ready for it and he’s a man who has been there and done it,” said Burnett. “Adam knows how to put a game plan together to beat a southpaw, and I have every faith in Adam. If I am calm, relaxed and I deliver what Adam tells me to do on the night, I’ll win that belt.
“I’m always learning with every fight and every day in the gym with Adam. People were saying a year ago that I was ready for a World title shot so that must mean I am even better placed for it now. Adam makes the decisions of what the right move is for me.
“Adam has given me intelligence on what I actually have to do. All the skills are there, but he’s teaching me how to control it. That’s what we work on every day – understanding what you have to do and how you have to do it.
“I needed to sit back, peel away the layers and understand what I am doing. Adam’s work speaks for itself. He’s been in the sport for a long time and he’s a well-respected coach. I’ve come to the gym willing to listen and learn because I know that Adam has so much knowledge to give, so if Adam says jump, I say how high.”
Burnett challenges Haskins on a huge night of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title, with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.
An exciting undercard features a the Cruiserweight debut of Mike Perez, Ian Tims and Luke Watkins meeting for the Irish Cruiserweight title and local favourites James Tennyson, Paddy Gallagher, Matthew Wilton, Feargal McCrory and Tyrone McCullagh.

Up Close and Personal With Liverpool’s Rising Prospect Dayle Gallagher
Interview by Gianluca Di Caro.
Foto: Team Gallagher
The subject of this interview is Dayle Gallagher, who is proving to be one of the most exciting young prospects to emerge on the Merseyside boxing scene over the past few years.
On Friday March 3rd Dayle is set to compete in his toughest fight to date, a six rounder at the Hanger 34 Club in Liverpool, against Belfast’s Michael Kelly, a proven Championship campaigner, who in the past year or so has fought France’s Mohamed Larabi for the WBF International title and more recently Scotland’s Lee McAllister for the WBF Inter-Continental belt, as well as competed on huge televised events in Russia and Sweden.
Unbeaten in four outings to date, two by early stoppages, against Alekseis Nikitenko, i maj 2015 and Jak Johnson in December 2016, and two by solid points decision, Marty Kayes in April 2016 and Phil Townley in June the same year, Dayle has already caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the sport, including two time World Champion Amir Khan.
In fact courtesy of Mr Khan and his team, Dayle firmly earned his place in the History books of the sport, as the very first winner of a Professional Boxing contest in Pakistan, following his excellent win over Belfast’s Phil Townley back in June last year.
More on that later, as right now I think its time to get on with the interview.
Gianluca
Thank you for talking with me today Dayle, whilst obviously this interview is regarding your professional career, especially the upcoming fight against Michael Kelly on March 3rd, I would like to start the interview off with you telling the readers a little about your non-professional boxing, especially your amateur career, which I have understand started out with a victory over one of the top guys in the division at that time.
Dayle
I started boxing at the age of 14, after training for over a year I had a few inter-club events before having my first amateur bout which was on short notice to represent Liverpool my home city, which was against the Welsh number one at the time in his home city Wrexham.
I always remember my coach saying no one wants to fight this lad so go knock him out, and in the second round after putting him down twice already the referee had no choice to stop it.
I was told by numerous of people I had a bright future in the sport but my focus at the time was to become a professional football player which ended in a real bad injury and after 18 months of physio and rehabilitation on my injury.
I finally got back into boxing for fitness and immediately fell back in love with the sport, after just a few months of training I took a white-collar fight in Newcastle.
After winning that I got loads of good feedback and realised I need to start taking this serious and see how far I can go in the sport, I won Northern area, British and European titles on the unlicensed scene then realised I need to turn to the professional side of the game.
Gianluca
Your pro career got off to a flying start, with a stoppage victory over Latvian Aleksejs Nikitenko, firstly how did it feel boxing in the professional ranks for the first time and secondly can you give your view of the fight please?
Dayle
Even though I had been in the ring plenty of times before, my professional debut had me more nervous then any other fight, but the feeling couldn’t of been better.
The fight didn’t last long about 1 minute I think before the referee had to interfere and call a halt to the fight which led to my first win in the professional ranks and is a day I will never forget.
Gianluca
It was almost a year before you were back in the ring, against Marty Kayes back in April last year, but even with such a long time between fights you were in top form, beating Marty on points. How did you manage to keep motivated during this time and again please give the readers your view of the fight?
Dayle
It was very hard because I was going through a lot of complications with my promoter at the time and couldn’t fight and I thought I might never fight again, but after a long period out, my brother helped me and got me a fight.
I knew a lot about Marty and knew it wouldn’t be easy knowing how experienced he was, but I wanted to show everyone that even with all this time out how good I can be and got the win and felt like I’d never had time out of the ring.
Gianluca
Your next fight, against Phil Townley, came just a few months later and what’s more was overseas on an historic event, the first Pro Boxing event ever to take place in Pakistan. Can you please tell the readers firstly how this came about and also tell the readers not just about the fight but also the whole experience?
Dayle
I didn’t really believe it was true when I first found out about Pakistan. I had just come back from my holiday and next minute am on the phone to Amir Khan’s uncle about a possible fight in Pakistan.
Even though I knew I wasn’t at my fittest or at my preferred weight I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity so I stepped up two weight classes just for the opportunity.
Within a couple of hours of the fight getting offered to me I was in Bolton at the Amir Khan Academy filling out all my paper work and my visa and literally three days later was on a plane going to fight in Pakistan.
On arriving in Pakistan I was treated like royalty, my bags where collected and carried for me. I was greeted by the Pakistan Army and Police and escorted to my hotel.
I could never thank the people enough from Pakistan on how they made my time there so welcome, it’s a great country with great people even when I fought they where screaming my name, so much so that I thought I was back in Liverpool with a home crowd.
It was one of my most amazing experiences of my life and one that I will have for the rest of my life as I made history as the very first professional boxer to fight and win on Pakistan soil.
Gianluca
Your fourth fight, against Jak Johnson back in December and on home turf once more, was both dramatic and I would expect anti-climatic for you. I was there so know all that occurred but could you enlighten the readers about the dramas that unfolded that night from your view please?
Dayle
If you’ve seen the whole fight it looks like I wasn’t too happy at the end but that’s because am a fighter and all I want to do is fight.
I trained so hard and felt in the best shape of my life so when the fight was over In 30 seconds it annoyed me but that’s just something I have to deal with its boxing and fights can be over with one shot.
After watching it back I was happy with my performance and I’m blessed with punching power that can pop someone’s shoulder out of its socket with one shot.
Gianluca
På 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 i Liverpool, where you are due to face Ireland’s Michael Kelly. Do you know much about Michael and his fighting style and also how do you see this fight panning out?
Dayle
I know about the people he’s fought and what he’s achieved I know it will be a tough fight but that’s why my team and me asked for the fight.
I don’t watch my opponents on old fights because they could turn up an box a completely different fight so I like to figure them out when am in there.
I think it will be an entertaining fight for people to watch, but I see it ending with a knockout, if I hit anybody at welterweight with one of my power shots in eight-ounce gloves I will be shocked to see anybody still standing there in front of me.
Gianluca
So out of the fights you’ve had to date, whether pro or not, which has been your favourite and why?
Dayle
My favourite has to be Pakistan making history and challenging myself, it was a big risk stepping up two weight divisions but I like a challenge and this is why I’m in this fight game, and also boxing in front of two time World Champion Amir Khan and getting great feedback from him, you can’t ask for anything better than that.
Gianluca
How would you describe your fighting style?
Dayle
My fighting style I believe is different to the average British style boxer which I think makes me stand out more, I’m a counter fighter with power, I’m a southpaw and I know I can be a nightmare for any boxer out there on the boxing circuit.
Gianluca
Should you be successful on the 3rd March, you will be unbeaten in five, whilst perhaps it’s still a bit early to be thinking of Championship accolades, I’m sure that you must have been thinking about opportunities like that already, as such could you please outline your future plans for the readers.
Dayle
I’m in the sport to win titles, it’s a dream of mine that I know I can achieve and when the opportunity comes I will take it.
I will keep climbing the ladder winning fights and when my team think the time is right, I will get my title shot and I will become Champion.
Gianluca
I’m sure you must have been an avid watcher of pro boxing even as a youngster, as such my next question is which fighters, past or present, have had the most influence on you and your career?
Dayle
Growing up from a young age I used to watch videos of Roy Jones Jr, I love his cockiness and confidence.
I always wanted to be an entertainer and give people the feeling I had when watching him.
My favourite fighters that I like to watch a lot of now is Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr and Errol Spence Jr, these are the type of fighters I like to take a lot from and try to make into my own style.
Gianluca
Moving away from the fights etc., who are the main people that make up Team Gallagher?
Dayle
Even though I’m the one who gets in there to fight I couldn’t do it without my team, from my brother Kyle who prepares me for every fight, to all my teammates at engine room.
It’s not just my team though; my sponsors also help me to get ready for fight night, Goodness Grill, who prepares my food, which help me with my diets. Spartan Dynamic who train me for my strength and conditioning and get me in great shape and make me feel stronger than ever.
James Harris who helps me with everything behind the scenes like interviews.
My friends my family and my girlfriend these all help me behind the scenes when I’m moody from weight cutting and preparing for fight night.
But the most important people on my team are the people who believe in my dream and buy tickets off me for my fights, because what a lot of people don’t realise without ticket sales fights can’t happen and I will always be thankful to every last person who buys a ticket from me!
Gianluca
Where do you train and what is your training schedule?
Dayle
I train in Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness and Spartan Dynamic, my normal routine for fight night is 6er I wake up have a banana then straight to Sports Direct Fitness for my running.
I like to get between 4-6 miles in every morning then I will do a bit of bag work and get a sauna, then I will go home and rest then at 10:30er depending on which day Mandag, Onsdag, Fredag I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.
Tirsdag og Torsdag I will be at Spartan Dynamic until Midday working on my strength and conditioning, then I will go and pick up freshly prepared meals from Goodness Grill and then have work from 2:30pm until 9:30pm.
It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.
Gianluca
What would you say your favourite part of training is?
Dayle
I don’t really have a favourite part of training; my favourite part is probably getting told I’m finished because it’s really hard work.
It’s an addiction training that I couldn’t go without, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be sparring. It’s the closest thing to fighting and there’s nothing better than landing devastating punches on opponents.
Gianluca
Outside boxing, what is your favourite sport?
Dayle
Outside of boxing my favourite sport is football, I love to watch my team Everton but any game in general I will just watch for entertainment
Gianluca
Besides sport how else do you relax outside boxing?
Dayle
Boxing is constantly on my brain when I have spare time I watch boxing videos or talk about it to people who don’t really care but it’s in my blood and I just can’t help it
Gianluca
These days Social Media is very much an important tool for professional sports people; do you utilize Social Media to engage with your fans?
Dayle
I find social media is very important these days for professional athletes and I always interact with fans, because anybody who takes time to ask me anything about my career deserves a reply, I’m not a big name in the sport yet so to have people asking me questions about my boxing really means a lot to me.
Gianluca
Finally is there anything you want to say to your fans?
Dayle
Thank you to everyone who follows my career and believes in me it won’t be long until I’m at the top, tak.

With both fight cards being announced over the coming weeks, further information on the headline bouts can be found below.
Bellator 173: McGeary vs. Felter
Hailing from Andover, England, the 34-year-old Liam McGeary (11-1) will make the short trek up to Northern Ireland’s capital for the first time in his career, where he will once again compete in a main event. The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10thtime under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, når Phil Davis wrestled the title away from him at Bellator 163. McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 af 11 career wins, including eight in the opening frame. Much like the “RMS Titanic,” which was built in Belfast, McGeary hopes to sink Fields when the two take center stage inside The SSE Arena on Februar 24.
A native of Dublin, Irland, Chris Fields (11-7-1) will also have a short trek to Belfast when he enters the cage on Februar 24. “The Housewives’ Choice” will be making his Bellator MMA debut, following nine years under the direction of local promotions, including three appearances under European powerhouse BAMMA. After competing at middleweight in 2015, the 33-year-old Fields returned to the light heavyweight division, recording a first round submission victory over Dan Konecke at BAMMA 24. Fields has tallied finishes in each of his 11 career wins, making him one of the most menacing opponents for anyone standing in his way. Now the SBG Ireland product will look to make a splash in his first fight with Bellator MMA, as he prepares for the former division kingpin.
Hailing from nearby Straban, Irland, den 20-årige James Gallagher (5-0) is one of the brightest stars in all “The Emerald Island.” At age 15, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home to join Coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor. Having made his Bellator debut in London this past July in London, Gallagher followed up in December with a submission victory over Anthony Taylor in front of a raucous home crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin. Gallagher now takes on Kirill Medvedovsky (7-3) in the co-main event of the evening.
Another top prospect from the famed SBG powerhouse, Sinead Kavanagh (4-0) returns to the Bellator cage against 32-year-old Parisian Iona Razafiarison (1-1, 1 NC) in a 140-pound catchweight matchup “KO” Kavanagh, who fights out of nearby Dublin Ireland will no doubt be looking to collect her third knockout on Februar 24.
BAMMA 28: Parke Vs. Redmond
“Stormin” Norman Parke (22-5-1) from Bushmills, Antrim is no stranger to BAMMA events, as he has been spotted numerous times cornering team mates as part of the Next Gen Northern Ireland fight team. One of Europe’s most sought after free agents prior to putting pen to paper with BAMMA, Parke now goes in pursuit of the coveted BAMMA World Lightweight title.
Paul “Redser” Redmond (11-6) landed a victorious homecoming of his own at BAMMA 26, as Redser took out the double tough Chris “The Menace” Stringer to claim the adulation of his hometown support. Redmond now steps into one of the biggest fights ever announced in Ireland, as he takes on Parke in this hugely anticipated match up.

Fight rapport: Tolan Sikrer Irish International Titel, Magee Jr og Fitzsimmons Sandelig Sensationel i Belfast
Fight rapport: Gianluca (River) Di Caro
Billeder: Paul Green
Sidste weekend jeg befandt mig flyver hen over Irske Hav til Belfast for første Malta Boxing Kommissionen (MBC) sanktioneret pro begivenhed i provinsen, Chuck Tolan s Fianna Promotions 'Ruaille Buaille' begivenhed og dreng oh boy og var det det værd.
Men før det bliver på boksning, Jeg må sige, hvad en stor by og store folk, Jeg blev gjort utroligt velkommen og fans på natten, på den utrolige Devenish Complex, var blot almindelig awesome og virkelig gjort det særlige, Jeg er sikker på, den fantastiske stemning og energi, de genererede skal have virkelig løftet hjem krigere.
Hovednavn begivenheden se Belfast helt egen Tommy 'The Tiger' Tolan udfordring kollega Belfast lad Phil Townley for den konstituerende Irish International mellemvægt titel.
Tommys karriere har foretaget en lidt af en genopblussen af de seneste tolv måneder eller deromkring, efter en kørsel af tab går tilbage til 2011 den irske Bruiser har været at sætte nogle store præstationer.
Jeg følte, at han var uheldig ikke at få mindst uafgjort mod George Hillyard tilbage i august sidste år, men måske der ansporede ham på, da han kom op imod Matt Scriven blot tre måneder senere og igen mod Rastislav Frano i februar.
Disse sejre mod Scriven og Frano sæt Tommy på vej til sin første overskrift kamp, samt titlen shot, og Tommy var ikke efterlader noget til tilfældighederne.
Lige fra off begge hovedpersoner sat om deres virksomhed i et højt tempo, Townley er særligt insisterende kommer frem, som i første omgang sætter Tolan på det forkerte ben.
Om midtvejs gennem runde Townley støttede Tolan på tovene og begyndte at arbejde kroppen af sin modstander, Men i løbet af et særligt hektiske udveksling var der en kvalmende bump da deres hoveder stødte sammen.
Townley kom ud værre, med en grim snit på toppen af panden, der sivede blod i begge øjne. Dommer Lee Murtagh standsede sagen og fik ringside læge for at kontrollere snittet straks.
Efter rengøring af blod fra hans ansigt var det klart snittet var ikke helt så slemt, som det så ud, og kampen fortsatte.
Townley var lidt tøvende på genstart, som åbnede døren for Tolan at underholde publikum med nogle fantastiske kombinationer bag et alvorligt kraftig jab.
Runde to meget mere af det samme, med Tolan tage kontrol over sagen i stil.
På omkring minut en grim flænge sprang op på Townley kind, må sige, jeg er ikke sikker på, om det var fra en punch eller hændeligt head-sammenstød igen, da dette skete under endnu en meget tæt kvartaler slugfest.
Uanset, Townley var stærkt blodig og begynder at se bare en lille kamp slidt.
Ved slutningen af runden ringside læge, Dr. Robert McConnell og Chief Traume Medic Chris Robinson inspicerede Townley s flænger og derefter talte med dommeren.
Med den viden, at hvis de nedskæringer åbner igen kampen stoppes kom Townley ud i en mere defensiv tilstand, men dette børn en fighter og efter cirka ti sekunder eller så kastede forsigtighed til vinden og gik til angreb big time, hvad fulgte næste var en alle action toe-to-toe krig.
Med omkring tredive sekunder af runde resterende det uundgåelige skete, ikke alene havde flænge på Townley kind åbnet igen, men en anden cut åbnet op over hans højre øje.
Townley tørrede blodet væk fra hans øjne med sin handske og gik lige til angreb igen, men Tolan havde ingen af det og lad rip med en stor ret fulgt op med en dobbelt handed byge af skud, dermed støttet nu dækker op Townley på tovene og gik ind for at dræbe med en anden spærreild af skud.
Med blot fem sekunder af den runde at gå dommer Lee Murtagh trådt til for at redde den urolige og blodig Townley fra den uundgåelige knockout.
Må sige kampen måske kun varede tre runder, men der var nok mere indsats på ni minutter, end man normalt ser i en ti rounder, der gik afstanden.
Efter resultatet bliver annonceret af den legendariske irske MC Harry McGayock MBC s Jennifer Burton og Irish International Championship Supervisor David Walshe præsenterede Tolan med Championship bælte, meget at glæde af den meget vokal lokale crowd.
Forud for fremragende Tolan-Townley titel kamp, Belfasts sensationelle Eamonn Magee Jnr var i aktion mod lettiske dinarer Skripkins.
Hvad en kamp, to alvorligt klassiske og talentfulde unge krigere i aktion mod hinanden, dette havde forudsætninger for at blive en sand klassiker.
Oprindeligt var det en meget teknisk boksning display, mere som en pugilistic skak match, endnu udspiller sig på en hektisk tempo, både Skripkins og Magee sat på en fantastisk udstilling af boksning for pakket hus, men det viste sig at være en kortlivet affære.
På omkring den ene minut, Magee bremset hans angreb og begyndte at plukke ud Skripkins med pin punkt præcise skud i hovedet og kroppen, hvilket igen forårsagede den litauiske at ændre sin taktik i et forsøg på at genvinde en vis grad af kontrol.
Efter ca. 30 sekunder eller deromkring af sublime boksning fra både mænd, Magee trådte ind med en stor ret til kroppen af Skripkins, som sendte den lettiske ned til lærredet.
Skripkins forsøgte desperat at gøre det tilbage til hans fødder som dommer Lee Murtagh lavet optællingen, Men hans indsats var forgæves, i stedet den unge lettiske står over for en TKO nederlag på et minut og 53 sekunder mærke af første runde.
Magee Jnr er klart den ægte vare, dette barn har det hele og hvad mere han var i mod en alvorligt god modstander i Skripkins, og kom igennem med flyvende farver, stor sejr, der er sikker.
Mine sidste ord om denne kamp, det kan ikke have varet længe, men hvis disse to nogensinde har en omkamp jeg ønsker at være der, det var der god.
Realiseringen hans pro debut var tidligere amatør stjerne Matthew Fitzsimmons, mod kolleger debutant Letlands Aleksndrs Birkenbergs.
Ligesom med Magee Jnr-Skripkins dette var en anden godt matchede Bout.
Fra åbningen klokken Birkenbergs placeret sig midt ring og så til at styre sagen, dog Fitzsimmons havde ingen af,, især da de kæmpede foran sit hjem crowd.
Holde hovedet koldt ung Fitzsimmons var tilfreds med at slå ned sin modstander med målrettede skud til hovedet og kroppen hver gang Birkenbergs ville træde til med et angreb.
Omkring en tredjedel af vejen gennem den første runde Fitzsimmons optrappet tempoet, alligevel beholdt sin nøjagtighed, forlader Birkenbergs ingen anden mulighed end at dække op i perioder, indtil en åbning for et kontraangreb præsenterede sig.
Fitzsimmons skiftede taktik en smule i den anden, går ind på den forreste fod og tager kampen til Birkenbergs lige fra off.
Birkenbergs er så modig som de kommer, han blot holdes kommer frem ved enhver lejlighed, desværre for den unge dette spillede lige ind Fitzsimmons meget dygtige hænder, ireren dans i og lade rip med enten en utrolig lækker præcist skud i hovedet eller kroppen eller en dobbelt afleveret byge før stepping ud før Birkenbergs kunne få en anstændig tæller i.
Omkring de to minutter, Fitzsimmons landede et ribben revner krop skud, bogstaveligt, men den tapre lettiske unge bare rystede det ud og forsøgte at komme tilbage til sin boksning.
I pausen både lægen og dommeren Lee Murtagh gik til at kontrollere på Birkenbergs, som var klart i en masse smerte. Efter en hurtig diskussion med hans hjørne blev det besluttet, at det ville være dumdristigt for Birkenbergs at fortsætte.
Nødt til at sige Fitzsimmons er en anden klassiske ung og dreng oh boy gjorde han fremvise sine evner på lørdag nat, absolut en til at se i fremtiden.
Forud for de tre pro anfald var der fem Udstilling anfald, arrangeret af IBA, at fremvise lige hvad fans kan forvente, når MBC indføre "Novice" Pro format senere på året.
Den "Novice" Pro koncept er designet som en introduktion til de pro rækker for talentfulde amatører bedre tilpasset den professionelle stil klog, men med kun begrænset amatør erfaring, eller på den anden side oplevede krigere fra den licensfri scene søger at gøre en foreløbig flytte til de professionelle rækker.
Mens licens- og medicinske standarder er stort set den samme som med de regelmæssige professionelle, De Novice Pros anfald vil være af to minutter varighed og kan kun matches med andre licens som "Novice" Pros.
Den første af disse anfald se Barry McCafferty slog Ben Robinson med en 40-36 point beslutning.
De næste op se Mark McMahon slog Steve Keown for IBA gælisk mellemvægt titel ved en 40-35 points margin.
Tredje kamp se Michael Collins slog Stevie Martin i en fire runde Cruiservægt konkurrence med en 40-37 points margin.
Johnny Lawson stoppet Darren Butler med en krakning bodyshot på et minut og 56 sekunder mærke af første runde.
I overskriften udstilling Bout, Marty Kayes sikrede IBA Irish afsnit med 60-54 peger sejr over Karl Savage.
Som jeg sagde i begyndelsen af rapporten dette var min første gang i Belfast og jeg nød hvert eneste sekund af det, stor by, store mennesker og som for showet godt hvad kan jeg sige, det var første klasse, på en stor mødested og det blev pakket med de mest anerkendende og venlige fans, jeg nogensinde har haft fornøjelsen at møde.
