What Fight Got You Interested In Boxing?

it wasnt really the fight that got me interested in boxing but it was the first boxing fight i have ever seen: Muhammad Ali vs Larry Holmes (even for a non-boxing fan, it was hard to watch). but the fight that got me into boxing was Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston 1. during that fight, i started shadowboxing, bobbing & weaving, snapping my jab, etc. been into it ever since.

well im fairly new boxing fan my first figt i remember seeing was watching MAB VS EM after wathing these two great warriors go at it for 12 rds i was hooked.

well to be honest the fight that early Vargas fights and Toney vs Adolpho Washinton cause toney was in great shape and thats how i wanted to look plus something about the way toney spoke and he was sure about himself which made me like watching him But what really made me go to the gym and started training was Toney vs. Jirov after i saw the fight in Toneys eyes man i was like damn i wanna do that i wanna have come to see me i wanna be there when the boos turn to applauds The fight that kept me going was the Courtney Burton Vs Ebo Elder right damn that was good fight if those guys were bigger names it would of went down as a fight of the year.......damn shame how even if Courtney Burton would of made it to the score cards he still would of lost

Back in 1988 my best friends sister was the hottest fucking chick you have ever seen, we were at a fair and Orlando Canizales was their...my friends sister was 19 and the object of every mans affection... Orlando flashed her a smile and took her out by a bunch of sana cans and fucked the shit out of her...from that point on I knew boxers were the biggest studs on the planet, not just anybody was gonna just bang ths shit out of my best friends sister back in 88...ORlando CAnizales wasnt just anybody though he was a prize fighter and I was now hooked!

Taylor Hopkins was when I got hooked. That fight got me hooked, ever since that long ago date, I've been obsessed

It was Hagler/SRL for me. also watching Tyson got me hooked, for some reason i always wanted to see him lose. I guess i've always liked the underdog

Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago, heh heh Ohh Shoot! Someone already posted a Rocky... I wanted to be Original :mad:

Rocky Balboa Vs. Apollo Creed :D

Liston/Clay I "I SHOOK UP THE WORLD"!!!

For me, it was Tyson/Bonecrusher. I was hooked ever since.

Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago, heh heh

Mosely-DLH. I am actually a relatively new boxing fan.

My parents used to run a bar and grill and I remember them getting Tyson fights in the late 80s,(88-89). But flipping through channels one night I watched the Hamed vs Kelly fight in 97 and was hooked ever since.

ali vs frazier triology!!!!!!!

De La Hoya vs. Vargas and Jones vs. Ruiz...

Well for me, it was Prince Naseem Hamed going after some guy named Ingle. It was a pretty good fight, and afterwards, I really started watching the heavies go at it. Now Im hooked.

Tyson vs. Spinks is the first fight I actually remember watching. I think I one a dollar in a playground bet. Didn't really get into boxing seriously until the late 90's.

Actually, when I was about 12 I was training for amateur bouts, unfortunately I never got a chance to utilize my skills, but the Hearns-Hagler, Leonard-Hagler, Duran-Leonard fight got me into the sport. I was hooked after that.
