    I'm young so... I was in Vegas with my PW football team the weekend of the ODLH-PAC fight.
    We were at a restaurant when it went down and I kept watching parts of the fight. I naturally liked ODLH (for some reason) and hated Pacquiao for about three years for what he did


    When I came back into boxing it was with Bute-Pascal, right in the aftermath of Broner-Maidana, so I caught up quickly.

      I'd assume that I'd seen fights before then, but the first one that always sticks out in my memory is Azumah Nelson vs Jesse James Leija. Can't remember if it was their 1st/2nd/3rd fight, though.

      Remember seeing Julio Cesar Chavez around that time, and I was hooked from that point

              The first boxing related thing I think I recall is Larry Holmes in a Burger King commercial, but I may have made that up.
