  • What was the first fight you ever watched?

    And did it get you into boxing.

    Chavez/Randall.. was the first fight I ever watched live. I'm relatively young, so there's that. And yes, it did the trick. Just the emotion it evoked from my father was enough to get me hooked.

      Holmes v Spinks I but don't remember much about it except for Holmes not being impressed at the result.

      I saw the 1986 FA Cup final followed by the World Cup which got me into footy, boxing took a back seat from there.

          The first fight I watched ever was Ali Frazier. Saw it on some old Ali video.

          First fight I watched live was sweet pea vs Mcgirt II at my cousin's house.

            Ali-Frazier 3 was the first fight I ever watched, not live but on a VHS tape. Got me hooked. First live fight was some ABC fight, I can't remember who was fighting.

            Edit: I meant an ABC Wide World of Sports fight.

              My first fight was when I was 9 years old. I was staying with my nan and grandad as my mum was ill in hospital and my dad was working away.

              It just happened to be on telly and I sat and watched it and loved boxing ever since.

              The fight was Colin Jones vs Mark Harris for the vacant commonwealth welterweight title.

                I just did, not a big fight either but it was live on tv and it meant I could stay up later.

                    always a good excuse not to be tucked in too early. i hated that as a kid, lol that was random

                    anyway always good see a fight for free. even if it's a four round event
