    My first live card was Dawson-Adamek, Diaz-Chavez.

    I was hunting down old Jones videos (Hopkins, Toney, because those were the ESPNClassic rivalries in Fight Night Round 3!) 2 or 3 months before that though.

      And that fight ****** as much or more then Mayweather vs Delahoya....

      I remember the first Superfight for me was Delahoya vs Chavez and that fight was nothing special but it really made me a fan of the fight game...

      Mayweather vs Delahoya did actually make fight fans wheather people believe it or not.

        I've watched it on and off for a while but really started following it properly after I followed Calzaghe's career.

        I'm a pretty new fan in comparison to some guys on here but I know my ****, I've watched so many tapes to catch up

              I think Ali-Quarry was the first fight I saw or was it Ali-Frazier?

              Damn I am old.

              I always enjoy going to the events in Chi-town. I wish they had more big events here. Club fights are cool but nothing beats 20k people all jazzed up for the fight and wearing their nation's and fighters colors.

                Having no cable suck back in the day. To make up for it I must have seen the few vhs tapes that i would borrow and not return; over hundreds of times.
                Yep but thanks to the internet Ive been able to keep. The internet especially came in handy when I was in the service. I remember sitting at a computer in iraq refreshing the page non stop to get updates for erik vs pac 1.

                  I will never forget watching Tyson-Holyfield 1 on a big screen tv waiting for a ship in Shimonoseki Japan.

                  There must have been 1000 people all glued to the screen in the early morning while waiting for their ship.

                  When I moved back to the states I could finally watch boxing regularly and see good comp on a regular basis.
