I'm not really bald headed any more, but I am kind of nuts. Boxing is my favorite sport because there is nobody to blame if you lose and all the glory to gain if you win. When there is a great competition between two teams in any sport with back and forth action, its always described as being "like a heavyweight championship fight". All other sports always revert back to boxing when describing its greatness!
My first memories of boxing were when I was in the first grade and the big fight was Holmes and Cooney. I remember walking to school with my cousin and we were arguing over who got to be which fighter. The first fight I remember where I was at when I seen it was Hagler Hearns. My uncle took me with him to a friends house to watch, ONTV if I remember correctly. My uncle boxed and always had Ring and KO lying around and I was always thumbing through them along with some Lowrider and Teen Angels.
I've been lucky enough to have been to Marquez Vazquez I & III, seen Chris Arreola and plan on many more boxing trips, Las Vegas next summer for sure, maybe this one. Some of my favorite fighters are Erik Morales, all time favorite. His efforts and balls to the walls style never disappointed. Chavez and Whitaker were my 1a and b when I was a kid. Pernell was robbed. Holyfield the ultimate warrior. Lewis whooped that ass the first go around. Right now, theres quite a few fighters I like. Izzy and Rafa, Haye, Calzaghe, Peter, Donaire, Cotto, Pacquiao, and others. I like both sweet science and brawls and like to see the best fight the best.
Boxing!
