    Who get's anxiety before watching a fight?

    Ok, maybe I'm not alone, do any of you get strange form of anxiety just before watching a big boxing fight?

    I can only describe it as a nervous adrenaline when they introduce the boxers just before watching the first round. It's weird, it's as if I'm the one fighting and not them. Maybe it's the build up before the fight. After round 1 or 2 I'm fine, but just before a fight I get real sense of anxiety especially if it's one of my favourite fighters.

          Do you find it's at it's peak just before the fight starts and throughout round 1.
          It's weird, I don't get this when watching football or any other sport.

            I gasped when Calzaghe got knocked down in the first! I think most of the UK were the same! Hopkins should have tried to finish him.

            I'm pretty tense when it comes to the big fights as well.

              Dude i was a nervous wreck before the Calzaghe vs Hopkins fight. I don't know why though. I was walking around the room randomly and my wife was like "Will you sit down!".

              I'm a whuss, I'd think I'd cry if I was a member of the team in the ring.

                  i dont get it watching any other sport, watching boxing makes my fists tighten and my breathing shallow, especially if its one of my fave fighters or a particularly tense build up to the fight.

                    LOL! you must have been a wreck when Hopkins knocked him down. I actually jumped out of my chair.

                    I was quite tense when haye fought macca. In hindsight I don't know what I was worried about!
