    was rewatching mosley and margarito and brought memories of exactly where i was. couldn't watch it live because i had already bought tickets to see smokey robinson before the fight was even announced. didn't know anything about the hand wraps, and truly thought that was the end of the career for mosley, the way cotto lost to margarito just a few months back. went back home saw it on dvr and started talking about plaster and other ****. then saw mosley fight one of his best fights in his career. absolutely shocked and yelled so loud at around 1 am in the morning i think my neighbors hit the wall and told me to keep it down.

    Was watching pac vs marg on tv in barcelona when a dude was ****ing a nigerian ***** in the alley behind the flat, he was making so much noise begging for anal while having no more money.
    So I cursed them out and threw my beer on them from the balcony.
    10 min later a rock is thrown against my window causing a crack. ****ing annoying people.

    Cotto - Margarito /Williams - Martinez : Barely made it to 5am and was falling asleep, by the end of the 2nd round I was up and buzzing.

    Murray vs Mitchell - Told my friend who didn't have much interest in Boxing that we wasn't going to the pub, we was going to watch this fight instead, he started skeptical but soon saw one of the reasons why I love this sport.

    Tarver vs Jones 2 - After the first round I was smirking, sure that Roy would win in his former fashion, then BOOM, my jaw hit my chest.

    Hatton vs Mayweather - On my feet with every other bloke, screaming for Ricky to get him, brilliant atmosphere, then when the check hook landed, there was instant quiet.

    Mayweather-Ortiz was crunk. I was at Buffalo Wild Wings and it was so packed and we had to stand up and watch it with 2 of my friends. I was kinda worried during the fight because I was afraid Floyd's age and ring rust would show. I was dead silent the first 2 rounds and then by the end of the 3rd round I started to get this big grin on my face because O knew it was money time.
    Then when Ortiz headbutted Floyd, the whole bar started booing him and that immediately turned into a bunch of cheers and some laughs as Floyd knocked him out :happy

    I think I screamed for 2 minutes straight afterward and then I laughed my ass off at the replay. Left the bar walking to the car singing there's only 1 Mayweather and went to the club and song some more. I even heard people talking about the fight while I was at the club too and on the radio.

    Didnt quite understand at the time but i remember seeing my friends dad with a lump in his throat and w/almost tears building up in his eyes when leonard fought norris. Remember it like yesterday and felt quite uncomfortable to see a grown man like that.

    Yeah Mosley vs Margarito, clear as day, I was coming back from a trip during the holidays with family, it was a Sunday, bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway, was gob smacked when I heard the news on the radio.

    I can remember where I was, what I was doing for many fights, I went out for most of them as I didn't have cable. Most vividly De La Hoya vs Quartey/Pacquiao, Tszyu vs Judah/Hatton, Pacquiao vs Morales II and III (can't remember the first, maybe I subconsciously blocked it out :yep), Pacquiao vs Barrera II, Calzaghe vs Kessler/Lacy/Hopkins, Margarito vs Williams, Jones vs Tarver II, Winky vs Hopkins, Mayweather vs Hatton, Mayweather vs Baldomir (Only because my friend fell asleep at the club and was snoring, first fight he'd watched :-()
