At what moment did you become a boxing fan?

[Roger Mellie]

for me, my interest in Boxing struck boner status because of a combination of three things:

1. The Japanese anime/manga TV series "Hajime no Ippo" (Fighting Spirit in U.S.).
2. Pacquiao defeating Morales in their 2nd fight.
3. Addicted to Fight Night Round 3


All 3 of those things came into play during the start of 2006. Ever since then, I've been hooked on this sport.

Hagler,Hearns,Leonard,Duran.I was about ten when i became totally nuts about it.

Prince naseem hamed

I was 7 years old and I saw some interview segments of him on sky sports I think it was and they were showing some of his highlights and I was just in awe of his style

and I was over at my uncles house and he ordered prince naseem hamed vs kevin kelly

it was naz's big debut in the states and it had been really hyped up


and jesus christ what a fight to introduce really introduce me to boxing

When i was little i use to watch my dad get punchy when he watch two men box, So i ask him what that was and he explain to me that it was a sport call boxing.

That was in the 80's and the star then was Sugar ray leonard, He told me how Ray was a hated figure because he was a great fighter but arrogant as hell, Since then i was hooked but i started boxing after seeing was NAZ use to do.

When the Contender first aired. I was working out doing cardio and weights at the time, but didnt really have a sport I was dedicated to. After watching an episode of the contender I remember going out for my usual run and couldnt stop thinking about how amazing the show was. A couple of days after I bought Fight Night Round 3 and was playing it at a friend's place and he looked up Roy Jones on youtube and he was like: Whoa..wtf! holy ****! We'd never seen anything like this and I became instantly hooked.

when i decided i wanted to be a boxer, started to do some research on fighters saw mayweather, watched his fights, tried to educate myself about the sport came across roy jones and i've been hooked on boxing like a crack head hooked on crack

Hahaha, I know man, it's a tough habit to break. I log into this place at least 10 times a day to see what's going on.
