        I'm glad it was that fight because it had everything. Excitement, Drama, a knockdown, and the upset at the end.

        I WAS HOOKED!
        this was the 1st fight I been to live. Very dramatic.

            I can't pick out a specific fight, I just know I've loved boxing as long as I can remember. Grew up idolizing rjj, holyfield, tyson and as the internet came around seeing old fighters like robinson, dempsey, louis, hagler, duran etc. Something about it hooked me right from the beginning.

                Tyson made me a boxing fan but this fight made me want to be a boxer. That era of UK fighters was amazing.

                That said, beyond the heavyweights I didn't really know much about non UK fighters unless they came up against our guys.

                I knew a bit of history through my dad but the internet was a bigger change than any one fight.

                  Pryor/Arguello 2. I watched it at my neighbors house. Everyone in the house was rooting for Arguello but I liked Pryor. I hadn't watched the first fight yet but the announcer kept talking about the controversy with the water bottle. Pryor was a beast either way. Still my favorite fighter to this day.
