      I'm extremely nervous during big fights that involve my favorite boxers. I could've passed out in the moments leading up to Donaire-Rigondeaux, and I couldn't catch a good breath until it was all over. I don't invest myself like that into any other sport or activity except boxing.

        I know what you mean, I get nervous too, especially when they're about to touch gloves. I settle down at about 2 minutes into the fight.

          Yeah when it's a favorite fighter that I am not sure about in that particular fight. When it's a fighter I don't care about, I don't care.

              lol Martinez had me like that in Chavez and Murray but he was good.
              PAcquiao did that to me too, He didn't end the fight as well... lol

                Floyd, Roy and Lennox are the only fighters to get that reaction out of me. I thought Mosley would eventually KO Floyd after that 2nd round. So intense. Lennox vs. Vitali was tough to watch too. And how can I forget the post-Ruiz Roy? lol

                    For big fights, yes; more tense than nervous I guess but basically the same thing. When both guys have great speed, it makes it even more tense. At the same time I think it helps me score the fight because my attention level is at 100%, I sit at the edge of my seat but don't always get riled up. For me it's a battle to contain excitement so that I can score properly lol. Sometimes I just say F all that and can't sit down in a state of disbelief trying to figure out what I saw. Just recently Bradley-Provodnikov, Chavez-Martinez, Pac-JMM for example.
