What fight got you into Boxing?

[shadymg]

I'm sure some of you were brought up casual boxing fans, but if you're here now, something turned that casual fan in you into an obsession!!

I'll start, for me it was Julio "Cuban Lover" Garcia vs JC Candelo, on Friday Night Fights.

I'm part cuban, and when i saw my boy yolked, i thought Candelo didn't have a chance. Then he got his ass knocked out. I've yet to miss a FNF or any fight on TV since that moment :-)

[The Phantom Menace]

Thomas Hearns vs. Pipino Cuevas. This fight showed that Hearns was truly something special. No one thought he would do away with Cuevas so easily.

I am only 19 so bare with me ok...i had seen boxing and liked it...But what made me appreciate it for the sport it is was
Mab vs Hamed and Gatti Trilogy also,the gatti/ward trilogy which by the way brought a lot of fans to boxing. Lately Hopkin as made me a fan,i never liked him but watching him grow like wine,the older he got the better he got and he wasnt all about the money at first (dlh) or played this retirement crap which some do(trinidad) so i learned to respect the man through the years...

which cotto fight? don't take this the wrong way, but i can't recall (bad memory) a cotto fight that was awesome

I grew up watching every chavez fight and he is who got me hooked, I used to get nervous as hell when he was about to fight. Now i watch FNF's, any HBO fights, Soloboxeo on telefutura, and boxeo on telemundo every week. I think the first non Chavez fight where i realized i liked boxing and not just chavez was Arturo Gatti vs. Gabriel Ruelas. Since then ive seen so many great fights. BTW im 20 years old.

ahaha,you messing with me now? Cotto-Pinto is one of my fav cotto fights,but looking back on his earlier fights, the vicoriano sosa one i thought was pretty good.
