    You bet on it. Sometimes I get so nervous so I switch to other channel to gain some breath.

      You're not betting against wanting them to win.. Think of it as sacrifice, or as I put earlier: Insurance,and you paying for their win.

      If you lean towards your bet more, rather than having your team win, than you're not so much of a fan

        I never get nervous.

        Because my guy is Bernard Hopkins and I know he won't take ****** risks to get himself KTFO. I just anticipate his moves


        but when estrada, my 2nd fav fighter was fighting mosely, I was very nervous

          I'd never bet against Pacman! I'm already ready to bet ALL MY POINTS any rematch against Mexico!

            Thats the beauty of boxing, its not the end of the fight that decides the winner, its anytime, any punch that could clinch it.
            It's amazing there is no tension like a live fight, where you are rooting for a fighter.

                    I think in boxing it is so much more magnified then it is in other sports (at least for me) because in reality every fight is kind of like a championship game. I mean, every loss carries so much along with it in terms of loss of stature and what not. And win or lose you probably are not going to see your fighter in there again for at least another few months. Boxing is just really intense, and that is probably why we love it so much.
