    What boxing match have you watched most often?

    Wondering what single boxing match have you all watched most often?

    I am sure it will most likely lean to an early round KO for most (ie Hagler v Hearns), simply because it would be shorter and takes less time. So you could have fit it in your viewing schedule more often.

    But if you had to guess on the single fight you have watched the most, what would it be?

    Douglas v Tyson and Chavez v Taylor.
    For the same reason.

    Watched both fights several times, and with different commentators.
    What entertains me is, that it takes so many rounds for the commentators to actually realize, that Tyson and Taylor are taking a beating.

          Same two here - what amazes me is the superior announcing quality of the network re-broadcast with Dan Dierdorf when compared to the horrible HBO announcers.

          The HBO group literally did not call the knockdown. They sat there in silence, until Larry Merchant finally said: "well if Taylor gets up he probably wins." -- One of the fight game's greatest comebacks and he doesn't even call the knockdown.

          I usually don't go in for conspiracy theories but this one I believe: HBO wanted King (Chavez) out of the picture so bad they were setting up Taylor to win so long as he stayed upright.

          It was Merchant and Letterman's job to verbally smooth the way for a Taylor decision.

          Either that or Larry Merchant is the worst fight announcer ever, and Letterman the worst "unofficial" judge.

          P.S. Oh! Dan Dierdorf (re-broadcast) actually gets excited and calls the KD, but I suspect he wasn't 'for sale' like Merchant and Letterman.

                You know what? I don't think I've ever watched any match more than once. Once I know the outcome it becomes less interesting. I have watched the highlights of fights multiple times. I'd say I've watched Tyson and Roy Jones Jr highlights more than any other
