Are you the "boxing guy" at your workplace?

[ИATAS]

last year some girl asked me if I wanted to go to her church and watch her in sometype of play she was going to be in, I said sure, if you come to the Battle at the Boat with me in Tacoma (local boxing even here in Washington) lol

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.

haha for sure. was just asked when the next big fight was

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

I feel you. I feel like it's my duty to report the state of the game to my co-workers because you won't find boxing news on Sportscenter. The guys here like NASCAR, and fishing, and casual football and hoops fans. I think the women I work with know more about boxing than their husbands do because of me.

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

well let me put it like this.. the ones who know Floyd, know Cotto and Margarito

they arent DIE HARD like me, but they know enough

the ones who dont know , dont know either one of them.

everyone knows OSCAR DELA HOYA, MIKE TYSON..GEORGE FORMAN etc..

[MANGLER]

I'm my office's boxing guy 4 sho. A couple people watch some of the fights but don't follow it closely enough to really know anybody. Then there's the older guys there who know Tyson and Ali and other old school fighters, but nothin about the current top crop of stars.

Everyone at my workplace is a boxing fan, but they mostly follow puertorican fighters and big names. I'm pretty much the one they go to when they want to what fights are on and if the fighters are any good.

[Steak]

haha, thats me alright. I own jeopardy whenever they have boxing questions on. which is more often than youd think, actually.

[ztrac79]

Lol. Yea everybody knows me as that. Every time there's a big fight everyone asks me who I think is gonna win. I also get an occasional bet every now and then out of them. Funny enough most of the casual fans at work, if not everyone, knows who Cotto is.

****, we should get a tax break or something for educating. Hey H-Town, i do the same thing with THE TEST. Funny. Here's a funny story. I was actually at a doctor's house (big, quiet, classical music and ****) picking up my girlfriend from babysitting when I first saw Castillo-Corrales I. He had Showtime and I knew it was showing so I watched it. WOW! The doctor shows up after a long day of surgery and I'm still buzzing from the fight and I ear ****d him for about 30 minutes talking about a fight from a sport that he wasn't even interested in. I told him how it was so great that Showtime was gonna replay it the following weekend. Now everytime I see him here at the hospital he asks when the next big fight is. I made him a fan.
