DESPITE losing almost half of its eight scheduled bouts in the week prior to the show, this Sunday afternoon Frank Duffin promotion at the Municipal Hall certainly wasn’t lacking in atmosphere.
The number of tickets sold was undoubtedly hit by the late withdrawals, with just a smattering of punters on the usually packed balcony - but the five home boxers who did remain all boasted their own noisy pockets of followers. Just as well, though, that there were few if any supporters of the afternoon’s visitors who, pretty much as expected, failed to win a single session.
