      I've yet to run into anyone in my region in south jersey that talks about boxing.
      It would be nice to talk to someone face to face that knows something about the sweet science. I feel like I have a vast knowledge of useless boxing information in my head and no one to share my knowledge with.

      My expertise is predicting the winner and score of professional prize fights before they happen. People I do watch fights with say that I'm sick when it comes to calling who the winner of the fight is going to be. When the ring announcer reads the score off I'll say my score it's 98% of the time right on.

      It's bad when you know every title holder of the RM WBC/WBA/IBF and WBO without looking at a computer screen or a piece of paper. Or when you know scouting reports and fighting tendencies the of top 20 ranked fighters in all 17 weight classes at any one time I feel like I have boxing on the brain I zone out during the day just thinking about good fights that can be made.

      I guess it's something that calms me down when I see 2 fighters in a good fight punching each other in the face. the science and movement is an art that most common people don't have to patents to appreciate. Except for all you posters on this board that do talk about boxing that are hardcore fans of boxing that's why I come to this site to read your posts cuz I have no one else that knows anything about boxing talk with.

              I am the point of contact for my friends and family when it comes to boxing. Me and my Pops talked about it a lot when he was still living in the states but since he went back to Nicaragua we still talk about but not as much. When I do talk to him the conversation quickly turns to boxing. It kind of sucks but boxingscene makes it a little better once you get passed the ****** threads that some how stay alive.

                Most people I know IF they like boxing are only casual fans, which is fine. Three of my managers at work are die hard boxing fans. It's nice to be able to discuss boxing in real life
