Mayweather-Hatton or Hatton-Tszyu. For fight night atmosphere Hatton-Tszyu but for fight week atmosphere Mayweather-Hatton, Brits literally took over Vegas that weekend. I’ve been to Vegas multiple times and I’ve never seen anything like that, unbelievable scenes.Comment

…and about 1000 screaming scousers (me included) watching Smith get outclassed.
Amazing stadium, this was the first time I ever saw Canelo live too. He’s far better in the flesh IMO, many nuances to his game you fail to appreciate watching him from afar.Comment

Been lucky to have been to quite a few, my dad got me started pretty early taking to local fights in LA....then Vegas for closed circuit of major fights, Friday ballroom shows and eventually to notable fights in Vegas.
Just fell in love with everything about it - the atmosphere, the boxing teams walking around the casino, weigh-ins, the old timers and colorful boxing characters this game attracts. A lot of those types aren't around anymore so it isn't quite the same as Tyson, Oscar days but the Floyd and Pac run were good too. I took many different groups of friends to those weeknds and they loved it too. Always electric when there is a big fight to cap it all off
First live fight was at like 11yr old was Chiquita Gonzalez v Carbajal - if u know that fight, then it sense why I'm addicted to boxing after that one. I highly recommend watching that fight for any newer fan
The best two back-to-back fights on a card was Hussein v Arce and Pac v Morales 1. Two FOTY candidates
Chavez vTaylor 2 was a good card I remember, Don King type...had young Tito v Yory Boy Campas. Leija v Ruelas
Floyd-Judah was at the Thomas and Mack and there was no casino so it had celebrities walking around the arena all over the place, pretty fun to see. The guy posted above about this card is 100% accurate. Then there was the ring riot which was nuts - to me the first crowd was pro-Zab but then it flipped to Floyd right after the riot - never seen such a turn in a crowd.
I cant remember all the fights on these cards but other notables:
Barrera-Morales 1
Pac-Maquez II
Marg-Cotto I - this might have been peak excitement for me
been lucky. great memories and more to come!Last edited by LA_2_Vegas; 09-12-2021, 07:25 PM.Comment

Haha, Nice. There was a few guys from across the pond sitting behind us. Some of the Mexican guys got a little to familiar with them. They were about to take on the whole lot.Comment

I can imagine mate.
Us scousers can come across a bit aggressive sometimes, all bark no bite most of them though. I had a great time in Texas though, I’ve always found the Mexican fans very friendly as well tbh.

The Gary Russell-Johnny Gonzalez card in Vegas. Charlo bros entertained and the main event was short and sweet. Im pretty sure thats the fight that sent Santa Cruz into hiding.Comment

I was lucky enough to see Gatti vs Ward 1. I’ve always felt like I was in the right place, just with the wrong people! Miss those people doe. Marriage makes this ish tough, plus the kids. Ha.Comment
