For Tyson/Williams: I was watching in my parents living room with my mom. I still remember the ring introduction and Carl's white/red trunks. I loved The Truth but man did he get smoked in that one!I use specific fights (BOXING) to remember my life. Generally speaking, if you tell me a fight I saw I can tell you who I was friends with at the time, where I was and what I was doing.
4. Mike Tyson-Carl “The Truth” Williams -I believe it was June 1989- and I watched it with my friend Mark at Monia Goin‘s house at Squire Village in Manchester
5. Chavez-Sweet Pea, D-12. Watched it at Pepe Vazquez’ apartment on Capital Ave. in Hartford…thought Pea won that one clearly!!! 
Chavez/Sweet Pea: I was with my older brother watching at his buddy's apartment and everyone was upset about the draw.
I grew up in the shadows of the Atlantic City Casinos and I probably grew up a fan of boxing because the the proximity of the fights to where I lived.

I clearly remember missing Jones/Tarver 2 because I was having a fight with my GF that Saturday and Monday she broke up with me just before class and I handled it like such a weak beta simp at the time. I learned doe to always stay strong, be cool, and just walk off and usually they'll DM you in a few weeks like...."hey". True story.Comment

I was in Germany when Evander stopped Tyson. Heavyweight Mark Young knocked on my hotel room door at like 5 o’clock in the morning telling me that Tyson got stopped and I kept telling him to stop joking around and tell me what happened.
He insisted it was true.
He finally gave up on me and I went back to bed for a couple minutes, but decided to check just in case. I turned on the TV and we had CNN International and when I turned it on it showed Tyson sitting at the press conference and it was in a different language, but I could tell by watching the body language that he had lost.

How about any fight involving Manny Pacquiao?
My wife and I started dating right after I took her to an activity at the Utah Governor's Mansion in Salt Lake to watch Pacquiao v Nedal Hussein in 2002.
It's strange that I remember that.Comment

I was at my friend’s apartment in Las Vegas the night he fought Mayweather… as soon as the fight was over we went down to the strip to see what was happening
