What was the first fight you ever watched live?

First fight I remember seeing: Forrest-Mayorga I

Cool. what made you decide to become interested in boxing again? In high school i watched mosley vs forrest and i remember getting into the fight and thinking about how much i liked boxing. i've never really followed any other sports but boxing has always interested me, partly because of johhny tapia and danny romero are the only professional athletes that were from albuquerque. we used to have a god boxing scene but its kind of phizzled out. the marquez vs pacquiao I and corrales vs castillo are the fights that really got me hooked. fights like that are what makes boxing great in my opinion.

The earliest fights I can remember seeing live on television was Tyson's dismantling of Trevor Berbick and Hagler-Leonard. I was only like 4 at that time, but I remember those events perfectly. Sadly the first fight I attended was Pacquiao-Margarito. I could have watched a great deal of Jermain Taylor's fights right in my hometown, but I regrettably watched them on TV. I hate I missed that opportunity.

Ok this is my turn, don't laugh too hard guys. First fighr watched has been Piccirillo-Spinks I. I was very young and I had to wait 12 AM, it has been very hard for a 8 years old boy. Btw the first real fight that I remember clearly has been Tyson-Etienne. First match live Messi - bum in a disco. Messi has been recently destroyed by Ryan Rhodes. I saw 100+ pro matches live in Italy. Where's a match, there's me. I attended various EBU bouts and only one World title fight (Fragomeni-Erdei). For the rest, I download every fight I can. Here tv does not broadcast anything from pacman-DLH...

Probably some Holyfield fight in the 90s back when I had my illegal cable box.

watched thrilla in manila live on tv at a very very young age.

Tony Sibson vs Alan Minter - Wembley Arena 1981, since then i have been to and seen quite a few boxers, Lennox Lewis v Ruddock, McCall, Bruno, McCrory, Fortune. Calzaghe vs Eubank, Benn vs Eubank, McClellan, Hamed v Badillo, Madina, Tyson v Savarese, Robinson v Davidson and many more

one of Tysons 1995 fights.... Cant remember who it was, but i a few years later he was fighting Holyfield.... Thats when i started watching boxing

Amir Khan v Dmitry Salita - Paid £220 and drove 3 hours to get there. What can you do!. thats boxing!

As a young boy i watched tyson vs douglas. Ever since that fight i was hooked and to this day that fight is still number one for me. You saw that one live on PPV? Cool. The only thing more awesome would be if you actually were at the arena in Tokyo that night. But admittedly, Tyson vs. Spinks on YouTube is the first fight I ever saw period. Apparently lots of fighters got started on boxing because of Tyson (Miranda, Abraham, e.g.).

My first memory of actually sitting down to watch a fight (out of interest) was Cotto-Quintana in December 2006. The first pay-per-view I watched with interest was Cotto-Judah. The first fight I attended was one with Cesar Seda, Jr. (rising PR prospect). Forgettable night, though. No big names on the undercard. Wasn't really that interesting. I was excited, however (it being my first attendance to a boxing event). My second attendance to a boxing card was Calderon-Segura. The fights were entertaining and the main event was electric. The crowd was on its feet for the last 2 rounds before it ended. I was like, "Don't tell me Calderon's gonna' lose the first time I watch him fight!" and so he did. :rofl: It was an exciting night, though. The fact that alone that my brother (who's normally quiet and very reserved) was screaming: "Eso es, ¡puñeta!" every time Calderón landed a shot was amusing. :rofl: Sorry for your Bad luck, on picking the wrong cards to go to :D

Espinosa-Contreras.. 1991... Espinosa lose from a body shot

Ringside? Or close to ringside? Gatti fights must have been awesome to go to, if only because of the atmosphere. Ringside. Some scalper sold me a ticket that was a couple rows out...too bad the pole in the corner obscured my vision most of the night lol.

First fight I ever went to was Gatti-Leija in Boardwalk Hall. Had incredible seats that night too. Ringside? Or close to ringside? Gatti fights must have been awesome to go to, if only because of the atmosphere. My dad took me to a Danny Romero fight in Albuquerque where we lived when I was about 7 or 8. I can't remember who he was fighting but I'm pretty sure he was the fly or feather weight champ. The only reason I remember this is because romero came to my elementary school and it was a big deal at the time and I knew he was the champ. But I liked boxing back then because my dad followed it. But I didn't really get back into boxing until I graduated high school Cool. what made you decide to become interested in boxing again? First fight I seen live was Pacquiao vs Margarito @ Arlington Texas. I couldnt remember what happened the following morning, was hangover. Had to watch the video tape. In my opinion, that would seem like a waste. It's like getting hammered in time for a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight, you miss the finer details. Glen John fight at the Hardrock in Ft Laur. Florida, kenny galarza was on the undercard wasnt impressed with Kenny, but as very impressed with Glen Johnson at that time, looked like a true champion in the ring. I'm always rooting for Glen Johnson, I was at his fight with Tavoris Cloud.
