    I caught some amateur tournaments last year but no pro fights. I'm hoping to go to NY to see Garcia-Judah (and the stacked undercard!) or Fury-Cunningham this spring. As a boxing fan I should be attending more live fight cards than I do.

        1 plus a couple of amateur shows to support my gym.

        Went to Haye vs Chisora in the summer, was a wicked main event/atmosphere. We kind of got mugged off by the undercard though cos ol Franky Warren knew the fight would sell whatever.

        Wanted to get tickets to either Burns Vasquez or Kessler Froch but am so skint at the moment i wouldnt be able to afford travel let alone tickets and other expenses.

          A couple of big shows (Garcia/Morales at the Barclays and Cotto/Trout at MSG), some Broadway boxing and the NY Golden Gloves.

          As a matter of fact the Godden Gloves tourney is in the Bronx today and I'm going to swing by. Larry Barnes and Junior Jones were in the last one.

          This year I went to the Garcia/Salido card. It was fun while it lasted. Got Tickets for Garcia/Judah. I'm still undecided for Hopkins/Cloud.

          I'm waiting for the official announcement of Matthysse/Peterson

            I'm sad and ashamed to say but no big events. I was struggling and since I don't live anywhere big fights normally occur I couldn't see myself wasting money on the expenses and tickets. This year is different, I'm planning on kicking off with Alvarado-Rios II and then Mayweather-Guerrero if all goes well.

              Its tuff that sometimes you spend a whole bunch of money on a ticket, air fare and hotel and the fight gets canceled. Pain in the azz espcially when it is close to the event
