      Yeah only one of the homies watches boxing but only big events. Luckily I have two brothers that box and are into boxing as much as I do. The rest of my family also enjoys boxing but nothing too serious, they just like the fiesta and anvience which is cool.

          My coworker is a big enough boxing fan, been getting my brother into it, and I have a friend who knows some names that your typical mainstream fan wouldn't, but yeah for the most part I'm alone in this cold world as a boxing fan

            Boxing could do a better job at trying to be more Mainstream though, only fighters that are Mainstream are Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto and JMM somewhat because of his Rival with Pacquiao but the rest at least in America...NOBODY CARES!

                No, I have a few friends into boxing now, alot of them are into UFC now though. . . I don't have much time for MMA stuff, but sometimes it's good, Boxing will always be my preferred contact sport

                    I have to come to this site to discuss 90 percent of the boxing that takes place today. My acquaintances don't know these fighters and if you try and have a discussion or God forbid a debate....I feel like a sage talking to a child. Sometimes the "Big fights" come up and everyone starts talking about Floyd, Pac,Cotto.....uhhh I guess that's pretty much it...and again , they pretty much don't know what the hell their talking about. It's a lonely boxing fans world out there.
                    Does anyone else feel like this?
                    Are they're some lucky guys out there whose friends know all about the boxing world.?....it's just a shame to me that these warriors who stand alone and not on a team , don't get more play..smh
                    **** it have a drink or 10 and enjoy the fights!

                      i'm far from a nerd but I am the only boxing fan I know & had all these HW fights that only I watched so once I figured out how to use a computer I loaded them here to share... I get amusement out of this site...
