Questions for those who have been to a live boxing match???

i went to morales v. pacman 2 and corrales v. castillo 2 and the atmosphere was insane. after you go to a fight with a great atmosphere you get addicted. i can't wait to go to another fight.

Can anyone think of any big fights in KC or STL in recent history?? Maybe Tommy Morrison in KC back in the day?? I know Memphis and Chicago have had a few but they are both over six hours away. They have a bunch of junk low level MMA that I would pay not to see. All the action goes east and west.

Spinks has fought 3 times in St. Louis recently - vs. Judah II, vs. Karmazin, vs. Phillips

Verno Phillips vs. Carlos Bojourquez and Jeff Lacy vs. Vitali Tyspko I were on the same Showtime card from Joplin, MO. back in 2004 (Bojourquez was a replacement for Kassim Ouma)

I was in the nosebleeds for COTTO-MOSLEY at MSG. They are decent. Its hard to see.

But when u are at a fight with an electric environment, like a Cotto fight or a DLH fight or a Pacquiao fight, etc, its DEFINETLY worth it no matter where u sit. THe electricity is something to behold, you get it at absolutely no other sporting event including the superbowl.

The only place its better is at Yankee Stadium during a playoff game. thats it

agreed 100%

Personally, i prefer watching a boxing match while sitting right in front of my giant flatscreen. That is unless im able to get REALLY good seats. Im talking about 1st 10 rows.

Thats the best view

Its the sound of live boxing, someone getting hit hard, that just doesn't come accross very often on screen. I can't afford to get up close with pro fights, but we get a lot of Amateur tournaments where you can get to the front.

Saying that a big widescreen is better than being in the very back row in a 50,000 capacity stadium with a a freakishly tall guy sat right in front of you!! LOL

The BEST place to watch a fight is in Vegas, at a closed circuit event. You get the best of all worlds: you get the fight weekend activities and all the ambiance, but you get to watch the fight on a huge screen with replays and commentary.

I sat in the nosebleed section to see Holyfield fight Fres Oquendo in the Alamo Dome. It is great to be at a big fight, but the fighters were so far away it was like watching it on a really small TV.

It was worth it though to see The Real Deal.
