      to me a true boxing fan loves and supports the sport in all ways possible.

      they tune in not just to see the p4p champ or a top 10 p4p champ...they watch FNF, versus, etc. they truly follow the sport to its depth. past present, and consider the future of the sport.

      Its hard to define a true boxing fan...its much easier to describe what a true boxing fan isnt. someone who isnt a true fan only watches the biggest of events and only follows the biggest of names in the sport (ie. mayweather, de la hoya, etc) but couldnt tell you who someone like victor ortiz (for example) is.

      every sport has em...the casual fans...the nfl fans that only watch the playoffs/superbowl or only tune in on rare occasions or isnt familiar with too many teams.

      baseball fans that only watch the world series or follow the team thats favored to win the world series; etc.

      the true boxing fan knows when the fights will be on no matter how big or small the name.

      you know the type.

      doesnt everyone?

Meanwhile, Tomashek was drinking beer in the lounge, when a panic stricken promoter (can't remember who) asked him to save the day, by coming in as a substitute to face Morrison, who was WBO champ at the time.. The purse offer was only a fraction of what had been offered to Hyde, & due to the situation, was no longer going to be for the title.. However... Tomashek decided that the show must go on, & inspite of only being a limited journeyman who was probably half pissed, got in the ring & took a pasting for 4 rounds.. Now if that aint a TRUE boxing fan, I don't know what is!
        If I had known you were an MMA fan, I wouldn't have bothered!
        No body in that sport would show this type of character...
