What were the best and worst atmospheres? I've been to Vargas-Mosley I, De La Hoya-Mayorga, Mayweather-Baldomir, and Khan-Judah. De La Hoya-Mayorga was rocking and the place erupted when he knocked Mayorga down in the first. Vargas-Mosley I and Khan-Judah weren't too bad atomostpheres, but when it became apparent Judah wasn't gonna fight back too hard, it got pretty quiet. Mayweather-Baldomir wasn't awful atmosphere at the beginning, but then the fight started and after the first round you knew who was gonna win.
Tito Trinidad vs William Joppy @ MSG
Miguel Cotto vs Yuri Foreman @ the new Yankee Stadium.

Fernando Vargas vs. Shibata Flores
Pac- Morales III
Ward - Miranda
Ward - Kesslar
Ward - Green
Had tickets to go to Guerrero-Maidana and Berto-Ortiz II but both fights got canceled.
Most likely going to Peterson-Khan in May instead (already have the flight miles from the berto-ortiz II trip that was canceled)
Best atmosphere by far was the Pac-Morales III fight. Filipinos and mexicans were going crazy cheering for their country. it was all in good fun too! no fights, just people chanting, screaming, having a blast!
i was also at the b-hop - wright weigh-in when they had a scuffle, does that count? haha

i've never been to an actual fight but i did see hoya vs mayorga at the mgm in one of the conference rooms with the huge ass closed circuit tv's. even the atmosphere in there was awesome and everyone was going ape*****
First big event I went to live was Felix Trinidad-William Joppy at Madison Square Garden and it was pretty crazy, all the Puerto Ricans showing Felix love... The whole weekend was something to remember.. Haven't really been to any cards that have matched that kind of electricity
Since moving to Vegas a few years back I've covered most of the events out here, a few Mayweather fights, a few Pacquiao fights... Even fights like Maidana-Khan, Marquez-Katsidis, and Lopez-Marquez were pretty nice despite not having huge crowds...
The outcome must've sucked for someone traveling so far haha.
No it was awesome, I was there to support Floyd so it was good to see him perform... Watched the undercards too so I got plenty of boxing...

Been to some good fights at the Staples Center, Honda Center, Olympic Auditorium, MGM and Ontario Doubletree. Been meaning to check out the Fairgrounds.
Favorite fight I seen live was Juan Golo Gomez Trinidad get beat by Javier Jauregui at the auditorium. All the seats are good.
I sat pretty close to some black folks at the Staples center. Didnt seem to be doing anything wrong other than talking about the fight and rooting for Raheem. The rest of the crowd was for Morales. The whole tier above them was throwing sodas and all kinds of **** on them. They had kids too. Thats the worst, when fans cant behave themselves. I want to be able to bring my kids one day but not to some **** like that.
Only 2.
First was the Donaire/Narvaez fight. Great atmosphere, pretty crappy fight.
Next was two black kids from my high school behind a gym.... pretty lame.
Marquez-Katsidis
Khan-Maidana
Khan-Maidana had an amazing atmosphere.
Going to Khan-Peterson 2 and Ortiz-Berto 2 aswell.
I really regret not going to Cotto-Judah with my dad and uncle when we were in NY.

I've only been to Mayweather - Ortiz.... Vegas is a long way from England...
but errmmm I can't really compare it to another fight but people were buzzing.... the crowd were mainly there for Ortiz and when he got Knocked out, nobody knew if the shot was legal or not so everyone just erupted.... Was cool.

floyd v baldomir. raphael marquez v juamma .

The fight lacked action on tv. How was it live? Did it feel boring when you were there?
