First heavy weight title fight you ever saw

[urdaddyinAZ]

Don't know which came first.....but I remember watching Holmes-Cooney and Michael Dokes vs Mike Weaver I think. The Dokes/Weaver fight was over in the first I remember one guy got ******ed in the corner and the ref stopped it prematurely if I remember right....I was real young 10 or under.

Holmes v. Spinks 1, I was very young and only can recall that my dad and my uncle wanted Holmes to loose in the worst way. That why I remember it so much. I think most ali era fight fans wanted to see Holmes suffer in the ring after his bout with ali, anyways that my first heavy title fight memory.

Scap you asked Tucker how old he was, and I told you.Now Tucker want's to know how old you are? Later brother brolog.

Strong words. Holmes-Cooney preceded Dokes-Weaver by about six months.For me, it was probably Holmes-Leon Spinks, but I vaguely remember Ali-Spinks I.

Ali - Berbick

That was an eliminator.

Live - Tyson Vs Holyfield II, what an introduction

[Nick1998]

Michael Moorer getting Ko'd by Big George. I was 10. Since then I have been hooked.

Lewis-Holyfield 2

I wonder how many old farts like me saw their first fights on "Wide World of Sports"? Man, those were the days.

i saw the biggest heavyweight title fight of all time man, the forth coming, Ali vs Holmes, i remember the build up, it was as big as the rumble in the jungle, all the news channels were swamped with it, Ali weighed in at 217 and had turned back the clock to fight Holmes, the event was like nothing ever seen. Shame that Ali had advanced Parkinsons though, i remember after he lost he had an interview and his speach was so slow and his hands were shaking even then. Thank you Don King!

first one i saw was ali/spinks 1. not a very good introduction to ali's career!
first one live was lewis/ruddock, although i did'nt know it was a title fight at the time!
