Without sounding biased theres not a better place in Britain the boxing could of been staged id say the area round the Excel has been the biggest hotbed for the sport anywhere in the country....within a stones throw of the Excel theres several top class pro gyms and a whole bunch of amateur and boys clubs................on a daily basis in and around Canning Town you,ll see fighters running the streets and fight people in general from kids to oap,s talking boxing like its religion.............very few subjects can get a bunch of rowdy teenagers respectfully chatting away in a pub to a few oap,s ............. thats what i love about this area. Ive said before im not a big fan of amateur boxing.........but Mccracken,the rest of them trainers,the boys themselves well they certainly came to the front in this tournament and done the nation proud.

gnasher16 29,754 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Ive said for years they are similar areas mate......maybe its the docks i dont know............probably like parts of Liverpool ( and im not taking the piss either ) .....but Canning Town has a population of around 10,000 people,its still today in the 5% most deprived areas in Britain,the place is a f****n toilet...................but theres still a lot of pride round here,pride in your manor and pride in the way you carry yourself................i told you before.... at Jimmy Murphys funeral there was around 1500 people from all corners of the country because he was so respected in the game he was from West Ham abc but plenty of Repton turned out despite the rivalry.....there was at least 50 or 60 scousers down here from the amateur clubs up there all very respectful and good stand up fellas. Its different with Olympic sport....but the sports i like be it boxing or football the majority of talent comes from the poor areas............although i think this games will have reached out to every class of person and i think we can expect a lot more good young athletes to be coming through in the near future Edited August 11, 2012 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
