    What is the first fight you watched live?

    Mine was De La Hoya vs. Mayweather. Before that I didnt know anyone who had HBO and could not watch live boxng on regular tv, I had to settle with replays on ESPN classic. After that I was hooked. The guy I watched that fight with has been a boxing fanatic since 1990 and has taped every fight he has ever watched and let me borrow all the fights he had which had to be between 400-500 fights. Now that I think about it its kind of a weird fight to make someone a die hard boxing fan but it did. What was your first fight?

    Whitaker-Chavez I believe I was 6 or 7. I clearly remember watching DLH fights like against Chavez and Trinidad as well. Barrera-Hamed made me a fan of MAB for life, though.

      I don't remember exactly but I became a hardcore fan around 2005...I remember watching Hopkins-Taylor I...I'll never forget Bernard's face lol

      In person the first fight I've ever seen was Jones-Calzaghe...I didn't pay for that **** though.

          Lucky you. Even if the fight wasnt all that great, I have never been lucky enough to go to a fight, especially for free.

            Yea I know someone who knows someone who works for HBO...I got into Cotto-Clottey as well although I was in the nosebleed seats.

            Good fight though...

            I've been able to meet a good amount of fighters as well...Hopkins, Calzaghe, Evander, Lennox, and Winky Wright...got pics wit them as well, except Joe

              I used to watch all the tyson fights scrambled. Our cable box would give us the sound for free but the picture would be all messed up. Barely see anything.

              To answer your question, it was Tyson vs Bonecrusher Smith, scrambled.
