    I get chills when the national anthems are sung! Especially when it's the Mexican national anthem, and the US national anthem especially because I'm in the military. Also, I get chills and a sense of pride when Mexiacan fighters walk out to Mariachi music.

    I get nervous and excited when it's a fighter I really like in a big fight!

      I always get on the edge of my seat in good solid fights but I do get nervous on fights I really dont know the outcome on and I have real money on, for instance the Canelo vs Trout bout I had 1800 straight up that Canelo will win and initially I wasn't going to bet anything significant but I let my mouth run off and had to put up or shut up, but after the 8 round I felt GREAT! lol

      Also whenever a Mexican fights I get amped up, Always want to see the Mexican Knock the other Race fighter OUT! if it mexican vs mexican I still get excited but not as amped.

          Yup, I can't really enjoy fights anymore when I have money on them

              Yes, usually right before the bell rings, and I'll settle down after the first few rounds - when I care about the fight or feel like it it has some kind of meaning, a good championship bout or some such, or when I'm just watching one of my favorites perform. big ppv events will almost always do it even if I'm convinced I know the outcome I'll still get nervous about it. It's actually something I respect about fighters. I'm nervous behind a television screen, but they're the ones stepping inside that ring and putting their health on the line.

              I had to pause the 12th round to calm down (I downloaded it and avoided finding out the outcome before watching).

                I feel you on that. I always assume the worst for the fighter I'm rooting for, and expect a fluke KO, or some type of injury. I'm a miserable wreck before fights.

                  Only when really supporting a fighter and that's not often.

                    I always get nervous when my fighter's opponent has big chance to win

                      Cotto fights. No matter the opponent, I always get nervous.
