how did u get intrested in boxing

For me, it was when Naseem Hamed fought Paul Ingle. I wasn't much of a boxing fan before that, but after watching Naz, I was completely interested. After that, I started watching the HW division with Lennox and Golota and the other big boys.

I got into boxing after playing Fight Night Round 2 when it first came out.

My dad built a scale that they weighed all the fighters on for November of 2004's "Struggle for Supremacy", he went to weigh ins, met Don King, got an autograph, and hung out for the whole deal. He got 4 free tickets from Madison Square Garden, and brought me, my brother, and one of my dads friends. We had $1200 seats, and that's what got me into boxing, since then I haven't been the same, best night of my entire life, wish I could go back.

I was watching the 1996 Olympics on TV, and I saw a boxer named Wladimir Klitschko. He was a magnificent fighter, better than the rest, and won the Gold Medal at Super Heavyweight.

It's because of Wlad that I became a boxing fan.

Grew up in a boxing family. Close relative is a boxing promoter..It just clicked. Plus in my early teen years I ballooned up to enormous 200 pounds on a 5'5 frame found boxing to lose weight...The rest is history.

hooks, so your really a boxing noob if you just started to follow boxing after the corralles/castillo fight. well, welcome to the club.

That was the fight that did it for me too. So I'm a noob as well, hehe!

My Grandfather was a boxing fan. He passed away in the early 90's. Whenever I watch a fight, I think of him and regret that we could never share this.

I'm an old head. I got to see a lot of the classic fights on Sat tv or listened to round by round on the radio for free. My dad was a big Ali fan. The ticket to see Ali vs Norton was $8.50 in 1973! lol The sad part was we couldn't afford the price back then. ****, $10 was a weeks worth of groceries back then. My dad is dead now and he would be dissapointed in the state of boxing today.

I was about nine years old and a friend of mine taped WWF Survivor Series for me, when he gave me the tape, their was a boxing match at the beginning, I was pretty peeved that I had to fast forward it to get to the 'good stuff'. I remember I was chuffed to bits that Brett Hart beat Shawn Michaels. In a fit of excitement I decided to watch that fight that I had hastily skipped and low and behold, a certain Lennox Lewis KTFO Razor Ruddock, What was even better was that this Lennox fellow seemed a really nice guy but I was bowled over by that performance. I've been a boxing fan ever since and and Lewis my favorite. In an ironic way, the Benn/McClellan fight cemented my love the sport.
