      JMM-Diaz 1 in Houston, TX....atmosphere was amazing and the crowd showed mad love for Diaz and JMM.
      Awesome, I would have loved to seen that fight live. As for me I've only seen Mosley-Pac live and ESPN FNF with David Diaz and Henry Lundy. Diaz fight was exciting as it was a good fight at a small venue.

          Nigel Benn-Lou Gent at the famous Earls Court, London.

          I could hear Dan Dierdorf and Alex Wallau from the American announce team going positively bonkers from however many rows back I was (perhaps 12-15).

          Gent was a cruiserweight who was tipped to beat Benn having drew with WBC #1 contender Henry Wharton (who supposedly hit even harder than Benn). It was a dangerous fight and Benn fought dangerously, back-and-forth gripping war - like a Rocky fight, both swinging away for four rounds.

            I agree. I've been only been to five boxing cards in my life. The only times when there were big names involved, they've crashed and burned.

            I swear if I go to the Cotto-Margarito rematch, this curse of mine will be confirmed.

              I remember Herol Graham completely befuddling imports Sanderline Williams and Lindell Holmes when Sanderline and Lindell were very talented prospects. Both those guys underestimated him big time - they were arrogant in press meetings thinking it was an easy walkover yet neither could lay a glove on Graham!

              Then late in his career he made McCallum look like a dummy for six rounds! McCallum!

              Then he made that comeback against Chris Johnson many years later in a huge upset...

              Show me a more talented fighter never to win a world title!

                  froch - taylor

                  jermain taylor is probably my favorite fighter of all time.

                  i was a young man when he was coming up

                  i've never felt anything like what was going on in that building during that 12th round

                  it was like watching him die out there.
                  i was very close. i really did have great seats.
                  a member of jermain's team (wearing a black and grey warm up type outfit that looked official) was sitting next to me and he was screaming. literally screaming.

                  he was either deaf or had a speech impediment. he kept asking for "combinachuns, jermain! combinachuns!"

                  combinations, i think.

                  after the round finished // taylor was stopped i looked to his seat and he was gone. probably already in the ring.


                  it had a profound effect on me
                  i was a boxing fan before then certainly, but i couldnt give boxing up now if i tried.


                  i'll drive three hours both ways to watch a club fight these days.
                  its in my blood.

                      Jamie Moore vs Matthew Macklin...if you haven't seen that fight Iceman I would recommend it...is on YouTube I believe.

                      I was lucky enough to be at Hatton-Mayweather...that as a experience I will never forget, even if the wrong guy won! (for me, anyway)
