What fight got you into Boxing?

[Tha Greatest]

ya

i first got into boxing when i saw tyson-lewis
i'm a young fan and i wasnt alive in the hearns/duran/leonard/hagler era

it was the little blonde haired punk with braces that sat infront of me in english class that got me into boxing. I sit down behind him and later on he turns and tells me that he was a boxer and that he could kick my ass. I begged to differ with him and he said that he would meet me at this gym, I was new to the area and school and didnt even know they had boxing around, where he was going to kick my ass. I talked my mom into driving me down there and that was it, I was hooked. Many years later this kid would be bragging that it was him that got me involved in boxing, whatever man.........

The first big fight that I watched was when Holmes wooped on Cooney somethin' bad. I just remember how my step father became so excited during the fight. hey, if he likes it than there must be something to this boxing i though to myself..........Rockin'

My mom actually got me hooked on boxing. She was a die hard Alexis Arguello fan and we watched Arguello vs. Pryor I, and ever since I have been locked on the sweet science. Pryor made me the fan that I am today, that mofo was imo one of the most exciting fighters to ever watch. There was just no quit in him.

I was always a casual boxing fan, watching the big heavyweight fights, the dela hoya fights until I saw a lightweight named Shane Mosley. I don't remember who he was fighting, but when I saw him, I was like "who is this guy? How come I never heard of him before? Why isn't he being hyped like dela hoya, quartey, etc".The guy had crazy Bruce Lee like speed, power, and a fighter's spirit that only brawling club fighting level boxers had. I really started getting into Boxing since watching Mosley fight back in `96. I always said if he ever got a chance at DLH, he'd kick his ass and when there was nobody else to beat up at LW, and Stevie Johnston turned down a fight with his amateur rival, Mosley went up to 147 and made me proud on 6/17/00. That was the best night of my boxing life. My emotions were so high that night.

When i was 4 years old Mike Tyson destroyed Michael Spinks in 91 seconds. I watched that fight a few years later and was hooked, i knew thats what i wanted to do to people.

The tyson v holyfield second fight really got me into boxing. It was so hyped up i watched it to see wat the fuss was about and i avnt looked back.

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.

is that you in that avatar?
