    Do you consider yourself a die hard boxing fan or casual?

    11 fights, 22 fighters and I'm only familiar with 4 names; Haney, Garcia, Barbosa and Derevyanchenko and that's it.

    I used to believe that I was a die hard boxing fan since I'm a fan since 1990 (starting with Chavez-Taylor) and I haven't missed more than a handful of championship fights since then but this make wonder if I'm not.

    Let me hear from you...with how many names in this card are you familiar?​

    Conpared to people on here, probably a casual, but im more knowledgeable than the real casual fans. You know the ones who say **** like, "Who would win, Tyson or Mayweather ?"

        I wouldn’t say I’m super familiar with them all, but there’s only two fighters I dont recall seeing fight.

        The Diombe guy fighting Bek the Bully and the guy fighting Shamar Canal

            I've seen 13 of them fight, probably numerous times for the most part. Only guys I've not seen are some B sides & a few of the A side guys with not as many fights. And its possible I've seen a few of them before & just don't recall them.

              Hard to define where I fit in. More interested in technical info, though a fan of a few guys...

              Strictly thinking from a fan perspective I'm probably a casual.

                there isn't a single fight that is remotely interesting to me on tonight's undercard. this seems to be the norm these days but tonight's card is especially garbage. i read the headlines on the main page but i rarely click the articles anymore. the quality of journalism on here has really gone downhill since they got rid of hans themistode...believe it or not

                    I’ve been a boxing fan since Ali-Frazier II. I was just a kid. My attention to the sport has ebbed and flowed over the years, depending on various factors — mostly how great the competition was. I’m not a die-hard, but I’m far from casual. My casual friends used to rely on me for fight info. I’ve trained and sparred, and actually know how to score a fight. Never ceases to amaze me how many guys here, who don’t consider themselves casual, don’t know how to score a boxing match.
