Are you the "boxing guy" at your workplace?

[The Texican]

I've noticed I've kind of got a reputation for being a big boxing fan here at the hospital. I'll leave the lab for something and have to go to Surgery or ER and the guys around are asking me what's the next good fight coming up or if I watched a certain fight. I mean, people are sitting around in pain or bleeding, and these guys want my opinion because they can't decide if Ricky Hatton is really good or they don't know who the HW champ is. I was just wondering if anybody else goes through this at work.

[Sin City]

There is a couple casual fans @ my work place but I'm the most hardcore fan there.

[Migs]

I'm probably the most hardcore fan at my work that I know of but there is one guy who does pay attention which is cool. I'd love to find someone else at my job to talk boxing with though who knows his ****.

[ИATAS]

yeah I am, but unfortunately no one watches boxing other than me. It's cool though, because I straight up FORCE them to listen to me talk about boxing sometimes. lol. they usually are hella not interested, but **** it, if I have to listen to them talk about their bull**** life stories they gonna have to listen to me talk boxing. give & take

couple weeks ago this korean guy that works in the shipping department, hardly speaks a word of english. He made the mistake of asking me what I did on the weekend, so I blasted him with fight night break down

[warp1432]

I'm the guy at school, but yeah I've had people ask me couple stuff. I was asked about Hatton-Mayweather once which was cool.

[2501]

I'm the ONLY boxing guy at work. I'm 1 out of 13 guys here and all of them know what UFC, WEC and Pride are, they can name at least 5-7 fighters out of each organization. they couldnt tell you anything about boxing except for a couple of fighters.

[TommyGunn.]

Yup, im that guy too. LOL!

[Sin City]

By the way.. all the casual fans @ my work place know who Cotto is

[Dorian]

Yup, im that guy too. LOL!

Same here

[My Name Is...]

Yes I ost defintely am. If I meet some one with some real boxing knowledge like me, I invite them over to my place to watch a fight.

I actually have sort of a quiz I give 'em. I just thro it in the convo and say I forgot their name and see if they can name the guy. If they can, then I know they like boxing, and tell them I was testing them.

1 - Yeah that one guy who had or has some kind of head injury that keeps him from fighting here in the US. Damn, whats his name?

2 - yeah, that one guy, uumm Naseem Muhammed guy that lost to Barrera.

3 - That one guy who first beat Trinidad.

4 - Yeah that guy, whats his name, umm Ricardo ' finito' something. I cant remember.

If they answer those, I tell them they past my test. But I just throw it in seamlessly and see if they get'em. If they do we're cool, and tell them they past THE TEST. What test? They ask. I wanted to see if you KNOW boxing, not just know boxing. This one guy at Circuit City got them all right, and threw some at me in the convo. I stopped and said, "Are you testing me like I'm testing you?" We looked at each other and laughed and said "Yup!".
Thats how I do it.
