    What fight made you the boxing fan you are now?

    I grew up watching boxing with my dad watched dam near every jcc fight but never really liked it....being that I was a young kid and was hooked on we'd and wwe........(nwo wolf pack baby) but I want to say it wasn't until the Oscar n Tito fight that I got hooked on to boxing...the meldrick Taylor n jcc was amazing but like I said I was young n didn't know what da hell I was watching......but I would have to say this fight did it for me......then I believe Vargas n Tito is when I got in the gym n started boxing n fell in love with the sport.

    Froch-Pascal. I'd seen things on youtube before, as well as Froch-Rybacki, but it was that massive war on primetime ITV that made me a hardcore. Also, Fury debuted on that card, it was just a goooood night.

    (I never grew up in a boxing environment at all, btw)

      Mike Tyson. I don't remember any particular fight only that when I was young I absolutely loved watching him fight. And the only time I came close to tears from sports is when he got KOd by Buster. It was like watching Superman die haha

        a response like this shows why more fights need to be free to air instead of pay per view.

            Agreed.

            I come from a family who box but the fight that turned me into a big fan was the Calzaghe Lacy beating on ITV. After that i followed his career, started coming on boxingscene to follow news, then the forum drew me in, now i cant stop watching it

            But yeah free to air boxing is essential i think, its just such a risky venture for stations due to fan favourites losing, show cancellations etc

              Hello all

              This looked like a good thread for my first post here. Well I've been a boxing fan for a lot of years, but the fight that most stands out in my mind as my personal favorite ever, is the Trinidad-Vargas fight. It was competitive, fierce... it involved one of the greatest rivalries in boxing... and it was just damn exciting.

                    Trinidad-Joppy was pretty damn good, too.
