Going to my first boxing card soon. What should i expect?

[HAMMER77777]

Ladies in short sexy dresses (weather permitting).

25% chance of a fight in the crowd.

Watered down beer/alcohol.

And if its a club show or low level bigger promoter show a whole card full of red corner winners cuz every fight will be some 3-0ish to 20-0ish kid vs some poor bastard with a 5% to 40% career winning percentage.

Wow, 25% LOL? Why though? Just Drunks Fighting about anything?

Also 5% Winning percentage? I thought mostly theyd be guys at least at .500?

Expect it to be a lot different than TV, that's for sure. No commentary. Almost a quiet chill in the atmosphere as you see two dudes throwing punches that you know are landing, but you can't hear because you sit so far back, lol. Then all a sudden a dude gets dropped and everyone wakes up and goes nutty.

It's always a fun time, but there is something tranquil about it as well.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Nobody cares about ppv numbers or who is the a side.

[Mammoth]

Expect elbow drops and power bombs

[Mike D]

you should expect to see some boxing matches

Yeah this. Also, you should expect to see other people there watching boxing matches.

[Larry the boss]

Yeah this. Also, you should expect to see other people there watching boxing matches.

If he is lucky most will have mullets and handlebar mustaches

Sh^t there's guys with 0% winning percentage brother lol.

Here's my first card I went to btw.

http://boxrec.com/show/11489

Former champ & Ali opponent Ernie "Whats My Name" Terrell promoting. It had top ten alphabet group ranked HW & iirc #12 by KO magazine at the time, Mike Evans vs a 7-16-1 boxer.

It had a comebacking George Navarro (19-3) who had lost to Hector Lopez, RIP & who's son Adam boxes pro now, & Jeff Fenech vs a 0-4 guy lol.

It had local undefeated prospects Vinny Letizia (RIP) & Kenny Bowman vs 6-20-1 & 0-3 boxers respectively.

The only fight that really was competitive as I recall was local undefeated prospect Pat Coleman (12-0) vs Terry Whitaker (22-7-2).

It also had one of the notorious losers on the midwest circuit on the card. Terence Wright aka Ben Judah aka probably a dozen other names who retired at 4-51-2 & after being KO'd 31 times. He had an impressive 8 year losing streak where he went 0-31-2 & was KO'd by Gerald McClellan & Dariusz Michalczewski among many others.

[Beercules]

I've been to Paulie Judah lol (I went to see Lara Trout)

Cotto vs Trout and Cotto Geale.

Get drunk before because beer is like 14$

You'll meet other fight fans, I made friends with this dude from Australia and his girlfriend.

[Jsmooth9876]

If Buffer is there be prepared to be let down. It's way better on TV when you can actually hear him over all the live fans screaming.

The atmosphere of a big fight is up there for me with the World Cup matches I've been to in the past. It's amazing at times

I think sitting very close to the ring is something special. You can hear the punches land and hear what the fighters, the corners and the ref is saying. It's different than watching at home. The drawback is guys in front of you who stand up and block your view every time a boxer lands a big punch and hurts his opponent. Not everybody does this but many inconsiderate guys do. If you have far back seats even more guys can jump up and block your view and you don't have the advantages of being close to the fighters. I would rather watch a fight at home than watch it from far back seats. The actual fights will have a lot to do with how much you enjoy them. Some cards are great, some are average and some are poor.
