What is the first fight you watched live?

[Stoppage]

Calzaghe vs Jones. Before that I used to watch old boxing matches.

trinidad-delahoya. my brother and my neighbors were diehard mexican boxers so i got into watching it at a young age but never took up on watching it on my own until 2005ish and i began watching all the older fights.

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

eff you, man. eff you!

what was hopkins/evander like? i picture lennox to be just like he is on tv and calzaghe to be a lot cooler/less ****y then he is.

MAB Vs EM, needles to say ive been a fan ever since.

The one that I remember clearly is Chris Eubank and Steve Collins.

But I know that my family were watching Eubank, Benn and Hamed fights before that. So I'm sure I was around to watch them too.

But I didn't really get into boxing until much later, around 2004.

Actually no it was 2003. I was staying in London one night and I saw that boxing was on Sky Sports so I said alright I'm bored I'll check this out.

I see this american fighter coming to the ring, then I see this Welsh guy. And then I see the best fight I'd seen (up to that point) - Calzaghe vs Byron Mitchell. And I was a boxing and Calzaghe fan after that lol

I don't recall the very first fight I seen because I used to watch the sport with my father when I was little. My dad passed away, plus I didn't have HBO/SHO so I stopped watching for all my high school years. In 2003, when I had the funds from working to afford HBO I decided I'd give it a try again and I rediscovered my love for the sport.

eubank-benn 1 you will never get a better rivalry then that and they were 2 brilliant fighters!

[Davros?]

The first fight live on TV i watched was Bruno vs Tyson 2 round a mates house when i was a kid, The first fight i went live though was Danny Williams vs Matt Skelton 2 lol.

It was a DLH fight on network TV, I don't remember the opponent. It was a Mexican cholo type guy, I didn't really get hooked there though. The build up to DLH vs Chavez and watching Barrera on network TV in LA got me pretty hooked.
