    Comments Thread For: HBO 1,000 Fights: BoxingScene's Favorite Moments

    By the time Timothy Bradley and Jessie Vargas step into the ring later this evening, HBO will have just televised its 1,000th fight over its 40-plus years in the boxing game.

    The lucky pick for the historic moment for HBO will pit unbeaten featherweight Oscar Valdez in a 10-round bout with Ruben Tamayo, serving as the televised opener at StubHub Center in Carson, California (Saturday, 9:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. local time).

    It remains to be seen whether or not either fight on tonight’s telecast winds up on any list of all-time great moments HBO has enjoyed since throwing its proverbial hat into the boxing ring in 1973. What can be said with great certainty, is that the once self-proclaimed Network of Champions has produced a wealth of incredible moments during its run.

    Below is a small compilation of favorite fights and memories, as seen through the eyes of family and friends at BoxingScene.com. [Click Here To Read More]

            Best HBO moment?

            I remember Gatti-Ward and that was one hell of a fight. But if I had to pick one moment I'd say 5th of November 1994.

            "It happened! It happened!"

            Michael Buffer:

            "And once again, heavyweight champion of the world! BIG..."
