My pops got me into boxing. Being Nicaraguan and having a couple of fighters that were/are pretty good helped out. I have been addicted since. The first fight i remember watching was duran/leonard 3.

My dad started watching UFC/MMA in 1993.

He got me watching it when I was 4 years old, then I introduced myself to boxing during a party.

The rest is history.

That's funny cause I was a UFC fan before a boxing fan myself. But I was very very young, a child. I watched UFC cause of my dad.

Also I was a WCW fan before I was WWF fan, again cause of my dad, he was the one who watched wrestling

My pops is basically a fan of all the sports, even "sports entertainment"[pro wrestling]. Well he was, he's more in to just baseball, boxing, NFL, and basketball now. But he use to watch everything. He use to watch WCW and like crack up there, it was like comedy for him, but to it was real to me. And the first time I watched WWF was when The Rock hit Ken Shamrock with a chair in his face and Shamrock started bleeding, I shat bricks.

My dad being a fighter and having me in the gym at a very young age. I was going to box but he put me into other sports when I was six.

Old video from him winning the St. Louis Golden Gloves in 83 at Lightwelter in the white. Heck of a fight with him and Tony Martin, they were good friends.

You're lucky to have a father who took boxing so serious. Usually you woulda been a boxer too. If my dad was an amateur boxer, I woulda been a boxer as well. Even with him not being a boxer, I seriously considered taking up boxing seriously but that was ended short with a corneal disease that needed surgery, which led to me not being able to box from doctors orders. It didn't matter anyways, I wasn't gonna get the support I needed to make it. You can't make it to boxing alone, every boxer has his story of some one who took him under their wings or something.
