For me personally it would have to be David Haye vs Chisora. Me and my uncle made the long 4/5 hour drive to Upton Park, the pre fight build up all week was great, there were 30,000 people, atmosphere was electric and the there was so much rain we got soaked but it was worth it. I oddly enough became a fan of Chisora even though he lost. I remember him coming out to the Gladiator song I think. The thing I remember most vividly besides the KO was Dereck rocking Haye hard with a left hook just as the beel went for round 3 (and later we found out that the round ended 10 seconds early) so what if? Haye was starting to gas but after Dereck got caught, he tried to trade instead of clinch and move and got KTFO. I think Spike O' Sullivan was on the undercard too.

I haven't been to too many big marquee fights but did go to the Carl Froch - Jermaine Tayler fight ages ago. It was a great fight - after Taylor knocked down Froch you could sense Carl getting back into the fight and feel the momentum change.
God, I need to start going to some of these big name matchups - I'm a hop 'n skip away from NY so there's no excuse
i thought you were in the bridge?

Probably Kessler vs Froch I in Herning, Denmark.
I have been to a couple of great events though, 3 Klitschko fights, a couple of Haye fights (incl. vs Wlad), almost all of Froch's early fights, pretty much all of Kessler's big fights in Denmark. A lot of Amir Khan's fights in Britain too.
There's a been a few good ones.
I was there too can't believe they gave Rios his first L that night.
Stub Hub had about 5 Fight of the Years held there.
didnt rios win the first fight?
Mayweather vs Canelo the buzz was crazy for that fight biggest fight I been too.
Khan vs Peterson was funny because it was standing room only (hated it) but that ment people getting up and just roaming around so drunk khan fans were going around harrasing people and the DC crowd chanting them back.
It crazy how the crowd was 50/50 in dc Lamonts own back yard but it made it Electric.
Mayweather vs Cotto
Mares vs Ponce on the Mayweather/Guerrero undercard
Juanma vs Vargas on the Canelo/Lara undercard
Barthelemy vs Usmanee
I hope you get to witness Berto's shoulder roll live one day. One for the bucket list.
Bradley vs provodnikov in the stub hub center ... while working on press row it was awesome the energy in the venue was unbelievable at the end of the fight even the press failed to stay sitting down on their seats favorite fight to this point....
Froch v Bute for me.
Unreal atmosphere in Nottingham helped by the following Bute had. Froch was considered a considerate underdog, at the end of his career if he lost and he went out and smashed the undefeated champion to pieces and elevated himself to the heights he's since enjoyed.
