When you are on the road you seem to end up at the craziest places. It was the surprise Red Bull party on day one (report soon) and it was a boxing game last night. Boxing? Sander, Bern, Andy, Paul and I were walking back to our overcrowded hotel room when we noticed a church that had a boxing game going on. We tried to take a quick photo but the security wasn't having it. The Press from Holland trick didn't work either and we weren't going to pay the entry fee to watch a full game.

Anyway, as soon as we were walking out the organiser grabbed us back and said he had an uncle who lived in Groningen, Holland and he invited us in. What the connection was to our free entry was a mistery to us but hey, we were in, and they were selling beer.

We saw a big black dude win against a ginat white boxer (who gave up) and we saw Victor "Killer" Rodriguez fight against Sam "Superman" White. The Killer won the game and Andy Z won the $ 5 USD bet with Paul. 30 minutes later we were out of there. It was the first live boxing game we ever saw. Another experience.
