[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I was probably 2-4 years old. My first fight I saw was or a few I remember when I was like 6 are...

Chavez vs camacho
Tyson vs Douglas
Gonzales vs carbajal
In my teens
Just about every Oscar big figh
Motales vs Barrera
Ward vs Gatti
Hollyfield vs bowe trilogy
Allot of terry Norris just a few top of my head.

you would have LOVED to have been a fan in the 80's then...EVERY WEEKEND there were fights on free network TV...BIG fights with big names...world title fights and battles between top contenders...

Yeah I always hear my dad & uncles talk about the old days.
Sanchez vs nelson, Gomez, Lopez
Pryor vs Alexis
The fabulous 4 so many great fights between them
Watching Chavez come up & Tyson
Benitez vs ray leanord. Thou I was to young to watch them I do own allot of old fights in both DVD & VHS. Even some old olivares, Carlos Ortiz, Ali & others. Oh I have some of cuevas, zarate, pintor & Whitaker fights too.

From 1980 to 1985...Leonard-Duran 1 and 2...Leonard-Hearns...Holmes-Cooney...Hearns-Hagler...plus the night in 1982 when Sugar Ray announced his retirement on network TV...plus Cosell on ABC Wide World of Sports interviewing fighters before the fight and after (he interviewed Cooney the morning after the Holmes fight out by the pool at Cesars Palace)...do u remember where u were the nights of those fights? Who did u want to win? Etc?

in the void until 1986

the first fight i remember watching was hagler vs leonard. i was 5 years old and watching it in my living room with my dad. i used to have these marvin hagler boxing gloves that i would always wear around the house, i had them on for the duration of the fight. i grew up right next to brockton so hagler was a childhood hero (along with hulk hogan) to me. we were pretty bummed about him losing. my father and i still feel that hagler edged it.

we had taped it on our vcr and i would watch that fight all the time, usually on saturday mornings before the cartoons would come on. but the tape got lost over years of moving around. the tape also had the movie "splash" with tom hanks. we had another tape with pryor vs arguello 1 that i liked a lot too.

we would always have fight parties back then, so i most likely saw hagler vs hearns, but hagler-leonard is the first one i distinctly remember watching.

You might be mistaken...or maybe it was tape delay the following week on HBO, because that fight wasnt on home TV, it was on closed circuit at the local civic centers etc...

For the Holmes-Cooney fight, my parents did not want me to go because there were concerns about racial violence. If you recall, it was a nasty build-up and there wound up being some scuffles at the Forum. I had just turned 13 and my uncle told my parents he was taking me to a movie...then we went to watch the fight.

I won a bunch of money betting on Holmes. Well, a "bunch" as far as a 13 year-old was concerned!

Hard to believe but there were also police snipers on the surrounding buildings in case violence broke out.

I ran two miles in the rain at night at age 15 to watch Arguello-Pryor through squiggly lines on an HBO that we didnt have...then afterwards I ran back to my fathers apartment...
