          I was born in ******ia and my family isn't really into boxing but they were huge Pernell Whitaker fans. That was a good time to be a boxing fan with him, the Tyson era, Finito Lopez, Roy Jones, etc.

            Meeting "Fast" Freddie Pendleton as a little kid visiting my aunt in Key West. Started watching random boxing matches from then on. ESPN Classic used to show old fights from like 3-5 CST pretty much every day after school. Got hooked from there on.
