    Boxing Fight to Show CASUAL FAN do you Recommend?

    I was trying to convert my brother to boxing. He used to watch WWE during his younger days.

    Is it better to show him a whole fight or should I show him a compilation instead. What video do you recommend?

      I did this the other day easiest option is Cotto/Marg because from there you can lead onto marg/mosley and introduce the understory of the handwraps

        Gatti-Ward 1, Castillo-Corrales 1

        Those two capture anyone's imagination.

          Start wit FOTY matchups. Then get em to watch technical fights. They'll warm up to good boxing if they see some slugfests first.

            you gotta ease them into the technical encounters. start brutal and introduce more and more skillful affairs as you go!

            it's a good time to bring people in now as you can get them excited about the Cotto/Pacquiao fight and that fight is 90% sure to be entertaining one way or the other, and then you got Maywetaher vs the winner to keep them hooked

                Calzaghe VS Lacy and Kessler and Roy.

                Naz VS whoever.

                Nigel Benn VS G man and Eubank.

                Cotto Vs Torres and Marg.

                Mayweather Vs Hatton.

                Pac VS Hatton, Oscar and Diaz

                Berto VS Colazzo

                Malligani VS Diaz

                Gatti VS Ward

                Tyson VS Holyfield 2

                Vitali VS Lennox

                Froch VS Pascal

                Get fights that people are outclassed. Get close fights and some fights that are clearly the wrong decision. That way he gets to understand more of boxing and maybe has an opinion.

                    Early Mike Tyson fights, most casual fans just appreciate KO's. Not so much boxing ability.
