The one and only sport I am truly into is boxing. I have never been a sports fan really, even though I played a lot as a kid, but after being introduced to boxing I have been a hardcore fan ever since. When people around me talk sports and I tell them the only sport I follow is boxing they find that strange. They usually always follow with do you watch UFC, which I also do not follow. I have no problem with other sports I just do not watch them. I have seen a lot of posters on here talking about all other sports besides boxing, so I was just wondering if there was any else on here like me who just follows the sport of boxing?
i'll watch nba, nhl, nfl, mlb, boxing, golf, f1, tennis, soccer, swimming, track and field & any other sport. i'll even watch cricket if they showed it here.
Other than boxing I only watch when Fedor fights because is so humble and badass.
I've been following boxing since late 80's and became really hardcore fan since 97.
I hardly know anything about any other sport except for boxing. Usually when I mention boxing as the only sport I watch, the conversation follows as such:
them:"yeah, man, I like to watch boxing too."
me: "Oh really? That's cool, man. Who do you like to watch?"
them: "man, I love to watch rampage jackson, or rashad evans."
me:"....wait, who?...are you sure your not talking about UFC?"
My favorites are boxing and men's tennis, because I like one-on-one competition better than team sports. To me, Nadal vs Federer is like watching a great boxing match.
I watch a bit of b-ball and hockey, but am not fanatical about it.
Same here, that's one of the reasons I love boxing so much.
Have never really got into any other sports at all, only boxing boxing and boxing since day 1, I play Basketball every now and then for fun but don't watch it.
yes only boxing for me as well not interested in any other sport never have been but for some reason really love boxing
Same here and the fight that got me into boxing was DLH-Mayweather, which isn't a fight that you would think would turn someone into a huge boxing fan.

I have never bet on boxing before. I meant to do it on the underdog a couple times but never went through with it. Of course the underdogs always won in those fights too, so I would have made some good profit. Oh well though I can always bet on future fights
I watch all sport but boxing is the only sport I gamble seriously on.
It is why I like the fact that not a lot of people really know what to look for when it comes to boxing/boxers/fights.
Well, if you didn't than you wouldn't be the Gambler, now would you?
On A Serious Note: I don't bet (often) in real life . If I did, it would be on boxing (although, I do bet on the Raiders, but that is just with friends). With that being said, it may not look like I know what to look for, but I do. I just tend to bet with my heart, not my head (cause no money is on the line)...And my heart favors underdogs...
95% of the time, that is who I will go with in a fight.
I follow boxing as my religion. I do watch some muay thai and mma, I enjoy a lot of fight sports. Gotta give respect to anyone fighting in a ring or cage, they've put in their work for all to enjoy when fight night rolls around.
That guy that I work with, not only is he a huge boxing fan, but he is a huge Jazz fan...
I will have to get back to you at another time, but he has given me a list of about 20 names (of his day) to look up...Man, dude knows his sh*t!!!
Looking forward to it bud! Thanks for posting.
Im involved with boxing, used to fight, now training, so it is absolutely my favorite sport. The only sports I do not follow are hockey, soccer, and such. Big football guy, Ohio State and the Browns(God Forbid) and the Cavs in basketball, Indians in baseball. College basketball...Ohio State. So, I am a huge sports fanatic, but boxing comes first, always. I do watch UFC when I am elsewhere and its on, but I never spend my money on it!

I completely am in the same boat. Jro is one of the best, and i still learn more all the time, though i forgot sooo much over the past 40 years. I am no expert, by any means either.

There is something the poster Jro loves to say, and I agree with it 100%. I have forgot more about boxing, than most people have learned about boxing. I am by no means an expert, there are still things I learn about the sport everyday.

I'm a casual football fan. Maybe I'll watch a little bit of other sports, but i don't really follow them. Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts are the only two sports that i really really follow. I try to keep up with K-1, Muay Thai, and College Wrestling, but not to the extent of Boxing and MMA.
