I don't remember but my dad took me to the Olympic Boxing in '84 (I'm from los angeles). Since then boxing has often been a staple in my home as my dad grew up loving boxing and developed a weird friendship with Sonny Liston when he lived in Philadelphia and Liston was retired. One of my favorite memories is watching a great prizefight with my dad.

Rocky films as a child and ofcourse Mike Tyson!

Seeing SRL in the Ams' as a very small child. Great Uncle boxed pro...my Dad boxed. Met Hagler when I was 7...got a pin and a autograph [McCreary Tire and Auto, NB].

Also seeing the Rocky movie @ the theatres as a kid made me want to box.

What really did it was seeing my 1st Am's show in 92'. INSANE!!! Met Mitch Blood Green there too.

who? Arnold vs Vital ?

Nope, just a couple of local fighters.

I got jumped after a basketball game one night and I decided to get into boxing to get back at them.

Instead, I fell in love with the sport.

My moment was the '92 Olympics in Barcelona. A young Mexican kid named Oscar de la Hoya was on a mission for his dead mother. That story had me and my dad up early everyday to watch his fights. Just all around good memories of my father and boxing.

I had seen a few fights prior and even still remember my first one (Larry Holmes vs. Randall 'Tex' Cobb) but the fight that got me hooked on boxing was Hagler vs. Hearns. I will never forget that fight.

[The Raging Bull]

Tyson v Lewis first caught my attention but my grandad was into boxing too so I guess it was inevitable.
