      You saw that one live on PPV? Cool. The only thing more awesome would be if you actually were at the arena in Tokyo that night.

      But admittedly, Tyson vs. Spinks on YouTube is the first fight I ever saw period. Apparently lots of fighters got started on boxing because of Tyson (Miranda, Abraham, e.g.).

              My father is a huge boxing fan. He has all the 80's super fights on VHS. When i lived in germany and got bored i would watch all of the boxing tapes since it was too cold to go outside. My father even wanted me to box, saying that I had a boxer's body and explosive power. I used to fight alot in school and never backed down from a challenge.

                      Ok this is my turn, don't laugh too hard guys.

                      First fighr watched has been Piccirillo-Spinks I. I was very young and I had to wait 12 AM, it has been very hard for a 8 years old boy. Btw the first real fight that I remember clearly has been Tyson-Etienne.

                      First match live Messi - bum in a disco. Messi has been recently destroyed by Ryan Rhodes.

                      I saw 100+ pro matches live in Italy. Where's a match, there's me. I attended various EBU bouts and only one World title fight (Fragomeni-Erdei).

                      For the rest, I download every fight I can. Here tv does not broadcast anything from pacman-DLH...
