Was at the ''McMayhem in Midtown" at the Garden saturday with Pajo Hyland headlining.
The fights were actually in the Theatre as opposed to the main venue. For 38 dollars it was general seating and as it wasnt a sell out I had the choice of many seats so I choose the front row in my section! Great view as it was only about 20 feet from ringside.
The FDNY were fighting the Garda and I saw the last 2 fights. Nothing much to report there so on to the first pro fight of the night with Spike O'Sullivan, with a clover shaved into the hair on the back of his head, having too much for his taller Colombian opponent (spelt Columbia in the programme!). His right hooks being particularly effective but it was a brutal left hook that finished it in the third.
Turns out Micky Ward was in O'Sullivan's corner and after he was introduced to the crowd to a great reception he posed for photos ringside. About a dozen lads went down to get selfies and I thought why not. I was literally the last one to get a photo and a few words with the legend! Told him I was from Dublin and he said he had just been there to get an award. So a handshake, a photo and a few words with Micky Ward made the night!
Just as we finished up the second fight started and didnt last long as the home town FDNY pro fighter demolished his opponent in the first.
On to the main event which started before 11pm with Pajo starting brightly against his southpaw Colombian opponent and easily winning the first. The second brought a rally and some great action as both went at it but in the third Pajo was landing at will and it was obvious he would finish this early. A right bodyshot finished in the fourth as your man took the full count.

Has anybody seen a worse record!?? Couldn't believe it, its actually hilarious

Fair play to him, he obviously loves boxing and it was something he enjoyed. We all can't be winners

Coming to this party late but I was there as well and your assessment is fairly spot on. Thought that Pajo and Spike did very well - interesting that both finished their fights with body shots and both had a big concentration of very effective body shots throughout their fights.
The power that Spike possesses is awesome and he's moving better and in better shape than I've ever seen him, both mentally and physically. I honestly believe that if the cards fall right for him he could potentially be back eating from the top table in the near future.
A couple of the FDNY Vs Garda/Rylane were good scraps as well. Bit of tension there for one or two of them but mostly they were good clean contests. FDNY won 6-1 I think
Enjoyable night overall
BTW, that's a fine picture of my ar se in your first photo!! (Last photographer on the left!!)
