    What got me into the sport? I have to think back now. I have always kinda liked boxing. I remember watching it on Grandstand on bbc1 years ago. The name i remember watching is Spinks and Holmes. That fight didnt get me into it though. When it came on the tv i just seemed to watch it.

      Fulltime? It was Fernando Vargas because he was a local kid on the big stage.

      Too bad I got excited about him and then watched Tito give him a beating the first damn fight I paid for on PPV.

          It was a thrilling contest. When Vargas came back with that KD I almost hit my head on the roof I jumped so high.

          The low blows were terrible.

          But Tito did what he had to do and he got the W.

                    He was good but his attitude let him down so much, reminds me of Floyd, if he was a nice guy i think id like him but cos hes such a prick i cant wait till somebody smashes his face in. Junior Witter aswell
