how did u get intrested in boxing

[-EX-]

For me

Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard fights then Floyd Mayweather.

Tyson was cool but I didn't really look for knockouts.

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

i started watching boxing before i was a teenager over a decade ago. i was enrolled in a martial arts school before i was a teen and since then enjoyed practicing as well as watching contact fighting sports. however, i favor boxing over any televised competitive fighting.

As embarrassed as I am to say this... Lewis - Tyson

haha, don't be embarressed. the lewis/tyson and lewis/holyfield fights were huge at the time. i remember i having 16 or 17 friends at my house to watch it - it was that big.

I am Ukranian and the Klitschko brothers got me interested in boxing when they were still fghting Europe so I have followed them and then started to follow and like other fighters, Im into heavyweights mostly...

That's cool...you see, this is why I like fighters from other countries to be successful, it brings in more fans, and it makes everything diverse and better

Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor, was the first boxing match i watched, my father was really (and still is) into boxing so i guess he started it by watching it with me.

It was three things for me.
1. I was poor as a kid and didn't have cable, so me and my dad would watch the Rocky movies on recorded tapes.

2. A long article in Sports Illustrated that took me like a week to read about a country boy from Pensacola who raised fighting roosters. I never and still haven't missed one of his fights.

3. A young Mexican-American in the 1992 Olympics that promised his mother a gold medal. My dad and I would wake up according to the time that Oscar de la Hoya was fighting that summer. I still haven't missed one of his fights, and I'm saving my 1964 Padron cigar for the last one (you know who).

I was a HW fan since the The ALI SPINKS fights.. BUT it was ODLH who trurned me into a BOXING fan The first time I SAW him fight I didnt even KNOW who he was.. But I was BLOWN away.. He was made me realise the REALLY good fights are at the lower weights... I still love the HEAVIES .. but I OWE Oscar BIG time...

I learned to love the sport of boxing through my father, and grandfather, two of greatest men I have ever met.
I learned to respect boxers as athletes as I became more involved in conditioning.

watching the baddest man on the planet picking up his mouthpiece after ten rounds of beating got me interested in the sport (tokyo 1990). i am a filipino and a luisito espinosa fan. too bad a bout between luisito and prince hamed didn't pull through.... i'm still disappointed till this day... LOL
