What has been your lowest moment as a boxing fan?

[Eff Pandas]

My top two lows are Diego Corrales dying in his accident & a cat named Vinny Letizia dying in an accident. Diego was among my favorite boxers at the time. Vinny was a 21 year old Chicago prospect who I had seen fight live probably a half dozen times who was on a fast rise.

And there are countless other deaths in the ring or severe injuries I'd also count as lows. I don't get too low about L's although of those Mike Tyson losing was easily the one that fooked me up the most cuz it seemed so unlikely to me at the time. Nowadays I understand L's are gonna happen to most every fighter eventually so they never feel THAT bad anymore. It's not like they don't suck, but losing a piece of yourself or your life, which happens more than most any other sport, is a whole other level of low/pain than that bad mark on your record.

I loved Magomed vs Perez. That was a great fight until the next morning.

Shared this on another thread but Gary Mason taking a beating from Lennox Lewis. There's a moment where he screws up his face in pain and goes out swinging. That moment always stuck with me right from when I was a kid.

Other than that, I still find the start of the 12th round of Eubank v Watson 2 hard to watch. The end of the 11th too, but that's also such an amazing last 30 seconds. If it wasn't for the outcome, it would be replayed over and over.

Benn vs McClellan. Such a great fight, such a tragic ending.

Even Benn pass out on his way to the dressing room.

I had thousands both times on Hopkins to beat Jermain Taylor.

I missed out on a 6 figure payday when Jirov couldn’t get the job done against Messi.

I had Jirov a dog parlayed with Winky Wright a 3-1 dog who won. Carlos Hernandez a pick em against Steve Forbes Who won. Jirov was close 2-1 dog.

I had thousands on Hernandez to beat Forbes which covered and I doubled down on Jirov and Wright parlay and had Jirov and Messi in 3 team parlays.

Jirov lost but did manage to retire Messi as if that meant anything to
Me jajaja.

I was also robbed 6-1 when Oquendo got robbed against Chris Byrd.

Feather fisted Byrd should never be that big of a fave and I almost cashed in big on Vegas’s mistake.

Of course Vegas always wins, Byrd won a controversial decision.

When Tyson Fury got away with fighting dirty and they had a senior citizen in Kenny Bayless trying to control the action between two in their prime giants in Wilder and Fury!

It was absolutely appalling that Bayless couldn’t do anything when he literally saw Wilder get hit behind the head which caused the first knockdown an his balance was compromised!

After that it was like watching a mugging in an alleyway, Fury was holding an hitting, leaning on the neck and back, and putting Wilder in chokeholds!

Bayless waited till the fight was practically done to finally take a point from Fury who just kept showing dirty fighting is best when against a dangerous opponent!

Sad to watch how a fight ended with so much dirty boxing, Bayless didn’t allow none of that when Floyd fought Maidana in the rematch ironically enough!

The worst was the judging in Pac vs Bradley 1. You know that heavy corruption was blatantly involved in that one. I pretty much stopped watching “big” fights after that. Now I just stick to the up and comers on ESPN, etc

Vernon Forrest getting murdered and Paul Williams getting paralyzed have been the worst for me

Boxing is a dodgy game when betting and you go to the cards
A had 100 on Holyfield at 6-1 v valuev
Same in winky to beat Taylor
Had 10 on Marquez to win on points at 14-1 v pack man in their 3rd fight
Robbed on the lot and that’s a few off the top off my head

Nice Letizia name drop.

What could have been, right?

Life is fickle and fragile, and we must savor it, whenever I'm in too bad of a mood I have to remind myself to appreciate the positive things in life, and the beautiful. We may lose what we have tomorrow.
