This was where it all began for me. The first fight i watched. I remember the red and white canopy above the ring, the noise of the crowd, Pat Mcguigan singing Danny boy, everything about the fight just completely captivated me. Im still a massive boxing fan now in 2017, but this was where it started. Thank you Barry.

McGuigan was one of the best featherweight fighters ever. A wonderful, perpetual motion pressure fighter whose relentless work rate, combined with devastating body shots wore down rugged, durable opponents. A shame the trip to Las Vegas ruined him. Went to this fight as a 14 year old with my dad, brother and two friends. A glorious night filled with wonderful memories and made us all proud to be there supporting a Celt.

Beautiful fight. Very inspiring. I love English announcers. I saw the fight shortly after my mother passed away. It has a lot of symbolism to me. Both fighters should be commended. I love Barry's style, very classical, hard to hit. I know he dedicated this fight to a West African fighter who he accidentally killed in the ring.

Barry Mcguigan was the first time that I knew that the bridge could be repaired between the Irish people. There were people filled with such hatred who would go to the Kings Hall and cheer him on, whilst leaving their anger at the door, and that was the proof that there could be a positive outcome. Proof that sport is so much more than just sport.

@Julia Horwood I lived in Belfast in the midst of the troubles in 1980-81. The situation was as ridiculous there as it was in London. In Belfast they'd come through different turnstiles to get to the town centre and then go to at least one nightclub I seem to recall, "King Arthur's" (now theres a name to conjure with, us being from the Catholic side too) and they all got on just fine. Heavens sake even the army guys were in there. No bother. Same in London, they'd all congregate together because they were "irish". North & South, protestants and Catholics. Thick as thieves, the hypocrisy was laughable. To top it all, to show how fraudulent the whole charade was, after 800 years of struggle to be independant, Ireland gave it all up to be ruled by the Germans instead. The same lot all sides (North/South, protestants and Cathlics) laid down their lives to prevent being conquered by. And they were correct it that opposition given the events of recent years with the EU. Iremavd most certainly isnt Ireland any more. Irish political and religious divides are the biggest illusion going and one has to be really nuts to see it any other way. It's a great example of just how a entire people can be constantly manipulated by political and religious leaders with an agenda all of their own.

I really thought he was going to be one of the great ones in boxing history.....But it never happened. Don't get me wrong he had a good career but he should have been greater than what he was. He was never the same after the Cruz, a fight which he was clearly leading until he succumbed to the heat. Something must have broke inside him because he was never the same again....

My seat was in the stand but somehow I got down on to the pitch and watched it up close from one of the aisles. It was truly awesome, phenomenal evry blow every punch. It was as if 40,000 of us were fighting Petrova, To see up close the punishment both men meeted out and endured was mind boggling. Barry trained in bangor and stayed a few hundred yards down the road from me and I used to see him out running in the morning, and I say hi Barry and he would reply 'howya doin'.

I'm a bit sad to see people arguing over Barry and the fact that he was Irish but was also British by nationality. That really just deflects from the point. Barry was brilliant and, in the 1980s when I was a boy, nobody cared what passport he carried. Nobody cared what his religion was. All we cared about in both the UK and Ireland was that Barry was brilliant. He made people forget sectarianism. We cheered for him and we loved him. Please just focus on that. That was all that mattered.

Many years ago, in 1983, while I was working in Ireland on contract I decided to attend a fight to see one of the local boys take on a US Marine Corp. Champ at Kings Hall, Belfast. I had never heard of any of the local fighters at all; and when I saw the Marine Corp. champ come out I told myself this guy is going to kill the local fighter. Well, boy was I wrong! This small man came out and just took the Marine Corp. champ to school-boxing school that is! I told my friend sitting next to me…he’s going to be a champion for sure! His name was Barry McGuigan. Two years later he was a great champion!

Whenever I think of the Cruz tragedy, I return to what was and what should have lasted. It was all about Barry then.

That night? Barry knew it was “his one chance” he fought like a crazy, crazy wild lion. That said, Petrozavodsk was a mighty fine, one of the best champions. Harry Carpenter? Probably best commentator in history of boxing.

Nice 1-2 from Pedroza at 15:51, it didn`t land, it was hard to land on Barry and not get countered because of his nice reach and constant counter pressure.

On my Scorecard I had it: "McGuigan 147 Pedroza 137" McGuigan dominated the middle to late rounds.

McGuigan always made a point of trying to bring both communities together , not argue about his nationality. Try and learn from his example
