Longtime Sawx fan here and I never thought I'd see Fenway Park discussed in the context of contemporary boxing. Take the T to Kenmore Square and watch the fights? Oh hell yeah.

When I was stationed at Ft. Devens I'd take the train to Boston sometimes and it passed right by Fenway Park. I was surprised by how small it was for such a famous place.
