    I printed a picture of Homer Simpson boning Marge. My mom found it in my drawer. I was like 11 or 12.

    Also, I remember my dad having a talk with me where he discussed my browsing history. It was something like bigboobs.com blondegirls.com

      Tyson-Bruno 2. I was so young and they made Tyson out to be a monster. I was fascinated and a little scared at the same time.

          Oscar-Floyd was the first PPV fight I watched live. Canelo-Angulo will be my first fight in person

                Probably Holmes-Cooney, it has been awhile and I don't remember any before it that I watched live.

                  Can't remember the first fight I saw....my dad used to take me to the live shows at the Blue Horizon when I was a pup.....but I knew this was a serious sport as a kid when my dad jumped up and spazzed out screaming "bull****" while mom screamed "No" and big bro started to shed tears.....Richard Steele stopped the Chavez-Taylor fight with 2 seconds left....that was my first REAL memorable exposure to the sport....been hooked ever sense

                    Mike Tyson - Frank Bruno in 1989. It was shortly before my own 7th birthday. Safe to say Tyson was the fighter who got me hooked on boxing, as I'm sure many of my contemporaries would say the same.
