This is Five
Life Boxing. So we knew it would be emotional, we knew it would be special and it was. Sure Westlife are good and 80,000 people with their lights on their phones making it look like we were lost in the miracle way. That's terrific. Grace being sung and the atmosphere and people dancing and people crying and people hugging each other. That's terrific. The fight, sure, it was. There was a fight obviously, but it wasn't about the fight. It was about Katie Taylor. And she never let anybody down. I'm Steve Bunts and this is Five Life Boxing. Well the fight finished probably about I don't know 50, 60 minutes ago. 80,000 people have just about left the arena. Off to my left, the security, just at the end of the Nally stand where I'm sitting.
They're throwing, they're having their debrief and they're taking off their high vies. Over to my right, they're slowly starting to take down the zone heart. So I'm sitting on the famous steps at the standing area at one. End of this unbelievable arena Croke Park. It's called the Nally Stand. And I'm sitting here, Stacy and I are sitting here, Stacy Copeland and I are sitting here, like a couple of people who might be sitting down watching a sunset on the last day of their holiday, the final sunset of a glorious seven-day. As you say, as I said, sunset, they've dimmed the lights. Does it feel a bit like that to you, Stacy? We're just at the end of a glorious. Glorious, gorgeous something. It was called Katie Taylor's career.
And it started for those of us that knew about 17-18 years ago. You were with her fighting alongside her at what twelve or thirteen years ago. I was recording her in 2008 and tonight. It ended. It finished. She won the fight, but we knew she'd win the fight. She became undisputed champion again, but We knew she'd become undisputed champion. What we saw in here tonight with the three bangers from Westlife and just eighty thousand people holding up their phones and Michael Flatley dancing behind us. It was it was magical.
It was quite incredible. I think the roller coaster of emotions was incredible. After the Chief Support bout finished and it ended in odd circumstances, but that's by the by. Then they got all the big bangers on.
How did the atmosphere at Croke Park set the tone for Katie Taylor’s farewell fight?
It was like a massive 82,000 person karaoke session. 80,000 karaoke. Party festival atmosphere. Then Westlife got on, they did World of Our Own, more partying, then they did Raise Me Up. And that was the first time that you started to feel a lot of Of people wobbling and the emotion hitting them. Then Ether Scott and Roshino got in the ring and did Grace. Oh my gosh, and that was it really. Oh my gosh. That was it really. That was it. That was it. So we
all bets are off at that point, weren't we? Then
they did the anthem. Yeah. All bets are off then. Every single I took my
headset off then. You had your headset on, and I was thinking, I was looking at you and I was thinking, if you're gonna try and talk to me, forget it. Because I am not answering. I am not gonna talk through a moment like that. I don't give them I don't care. I don't think any of us could speak. Could
speak. I mean, there was not a dragon. You couldn't speak at the end of it because you were. Well, I couldn't. And that was before the ring walks, by the way. When Flora Pittley came in, you know, there's a few boos, whatever.
