        I first started getting into boxing after watching Rocky IV. My

        friends and I put on winter mittens and beat the crap out of

        each other! After that my dad bought me The thrilla in Manila

        video to show me what boxing really looked like. I was hooked

        after that and know I love to watch any kind of boxing,

        including Boxeo en estina, even though I dont understand any

        Spanish.

          When my uncle in Mexico got me my first pair (set) of boxing gloves, I was about 12 or so, as I was fading from the boxing world, the first Morales vs Barrera fight in 1999 help me get back into it,after being a big Barrera fan and seeing him get beat in the fight I became a morales fan over night.

                  After watching SRL, Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Sanchez & Holmes with my dad & uncles.

                  Early college years, our professors will not come to class 'coz Mike Tyson is fighting. Even saw the MT-Spinks peeping at the school faculty room.

                    My father was a fan of Sugar ray Leonard, and the first fight I've watched was Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran. Since then i became a fan.

                    Muhammad Ali vs Holmes was emotional for me

                      My father is an avid boxing fan until now . . . I stay out late nights watching boxing fights with him . . . so I grew up loving the sports. Ali, Sugar Ray, Hearns, Jesus Cesar Chaves, Hagler, Salvador Sanchez really made me got hook up on the sport.
