Boxing Moments: When you Shed a Tear..?

[FerFAL]

Rodrigo "La Hiena" Barrios vs "Popó" Freitas
"La Hiena" lost that fight by TKO but it was still his greatest day of boxing. Blooded, he would grab the referee and clean off his blooded face with his shirt to see and keep fighting. Freitas threw everything he had at him, still Barrios kept coming forward. Glorious fight.

One of those WTF moments.
Maravilla Martinez KO on Paul Williams, the camera zooming in Williams eye, still opened, but not blinking, looked dead.
Jaja moment:
Matthysse fight against Dallas when the Paulie was talking about bankign early rounds and Dallas speed being a problem, boom , right in the middle of it Dallas got KO.
There were many good fights but those are some of the ones I remember now.

Definitely teared (happiness)up after seeing pac getting koed and almost in tears punched a hole in the wall when Nonito tko'ed Montiel

I don't remember ever shedding a tear because of boxing, but I am "moved" sometimes. And the last time I was moved was when Antonio DeMarco won against Jorge Linares, a quicker and possible more skilled fighter. DeMarco was fighting with all his heart and somehow found a way to win, and this was the first time DeMarco became world champion - and when the ring announcer announced him as the new champion, DeMarco was comforting Linares in his corner when this was basically the best moment of his life. And the guy spends that moment comforting his beaten opponent.

everytime I watch that 10th rd of Chico-Castillo.....some heart touching **** right there!!

sadness.....at B.Hop-Dawson II...watching B.Hop walk back to the dressing room after the fight...a rare moment when we ALL felt he lost a fight...all meaning his fans as well as himself....eyes watered up but I manned up!!

happiness...watching Kirkland get up off the canvas and stopping Angulo was heart touching as well....that was crazy!!!!!

Yeah, boxing gets me very emotional. It's not always from sadness; often, it's from the incredible beauty and story I'm watching. Boxing, to me, is a deeply beautiful, humanist sport full of emotion and feeling.

Some examples:

I don't think I'll ever watch Castillo vs Corrales without lumping up. It's so overwhelmingly beautiful. And, of course, Chico not being around anymore...

Izzy Vasquez vs Rafa Marquez 3 had my eyes watery from the sheer, incredible drama and end to such a wonderful trilogy.

Hopkins vs Pascal 1 - Old Man Hopkins going into the lions den, getting hurt and knocked down, and seemingly out of it- yet toughing it out and coming back to arguably win. I remember having my arms pumped in the air for that fight. And I'm not even a huge Hopkins fanboy (I prefer Toney and Jones to him).

Ali vs Holmes - nuff said.

Benn vs McLellan - not at the time. I was a Benn fan. And I was 10 years old.
Nowadays, I like G-Man man more. And the full enormity of what happened that night....you can only grasp as an adult. It's just so sad. That documentary about it....god, that sh-t had me in tears about 4 separate times.

There are countless other examples but those are the ones that came to me first.

Boxing is a very, very macho sport. But it's a very emotional sport too. And it's full of incredible highs and lows, and massive stakes. This isn't disposable trash we are watching. A great boxing fight lingers with you for weeks.

I have no idea how to cry, but if I did I would have cried when De La Hoya KO'd Vargas.

Looking back, all the experts were picking DLH, but the youth were definitely more with Vargas. So many of the kids at school had that Vargas haircut and called DLH a sissy. Golden Boy fans were definitely in the minority.

DLH is a sissy. And that sissy beat Vargas ****ing ass.

News to me.

I said probably. Chavez hasn't given a urine sample for 4 fights now, he's been tested positive before, he obviously cheats the 30 day and 7 day weigh ins because of how much weight he puts on from the weigh in to fight night, they always let him get away with everything probably because of his father's influence and money, and he obviously doesn't give a **** about anybody's rules.

All i'm saying is, if I found out that chavez loads his gloves, I wouldn't be suprised for a second.

Anybody who thinks chavez is clean is a moron. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and it lays eggs, then it's probably a ****ing duck

When Kessler lost to Calzaghe and to Froch. My mood were ruined for days.
