What fight got you into Boxing?

I'm sure some of you were brought up casual boxing fans, but if you're here now, something turned that casual fan in you into an obsession!! I'll start, for me it was Julio "Cuban Lover" Garcia vs JC Candelo, on Friday Night Fights. I'm part cuban, and when i saw my boy yolked, i thought Candelo didn't have a chance. Then he got his ass knocked out. I've yet to miss a FNF or any fight on TV since that moment :-)

Gatti VS. Ward was the fight that really got me hooked on boxing.

there was no single fight that turned me on to boxing. as a baby i watched it with my father and til this day we still watch all the fights together. we used to go to the forum and watch fights. i would say i was never really a casual boxing fan. i have always loved the sport.

I am very new to the sport of boxing.. I really never watch boxing when i was growing up because i thought it was boring.. Then, when I saw Pacquiao annihialtes and destroys barrera, i became obsessed.. By the way.. im only 17

I was a casual boxing fan for a long time, casual meaning I got together with friends to watch big ppv's over someone's house and did not stay at home every Saturday night to watch HBO after dark. The fight that turned me into a huge fan was the first Gatti vs Ward fight. Also the fact that I no longer have hockey to watch had alot to do with it.

i have always loved boxing...i have this faint image as a child watching sugar ray leonard...i remember the afro and the trunks barely...what really got me into it was all the excitement surrounding the tyson - spinks fight....at the time i was only 9 but by judging my uncles enthusiasm i could tell this was a big deal....then later on i saw holyfield = foreman and that was it...followed ever since

Staying at a mates house about 18 years ago watching his dad's tapes of the Thrilla in Manilla, at which he was 4th row. Saw his dad's face in the crowd and have been hooked ever since.

After looking at your pic: I was unnaware that screech took up boxing. :eek: check out some sal sanchez fights, the fact that he's a funny lookin guy makes it even better. i recommend his fights vs. wilfredo gomez or azumah nelson.

After Tyson got out of jail and back into boxing, my uncle would order his fights...I seen just about all of his first few return fights, because my uncle had a cable box what got him free PPV, and we'd watch them, but the fight that really made my start liking boxing was Oscar De La Hoya vs. Julio Cesar Chavez.
