    For me, the best live fight Ive ever attended, and Ive been to plenty of live cards thru out my time, was the Lucas Mattyhsse vs Ruslan Provodnikov war. The crowd was electric to say the least. Once we were inside the venue at Turning Stone Resort all you could hear people talking about was how insane this fight was going to be. And man was it. Ever time a flush shot landed the place erupted. It was deafening thru out the 12 rounds. Unbelievable atmosphere that night. Lets hear yours!

    I was at the same fight, and can testify to what you're saying. It was an unbelievable atmosphere, the small venue also made it more special for people in attendance.

    Pac vs Horn. Suncorp, Stadium.

    Drove from Sydney to Brissy beautiful scenic 10 hour drive. The fight was action packed seeing the pac-man in action was unforgettable.

    How paced was the place?
    The story was that they had sold out the arena, but it didn´t look like it.

    whyte vs chisora 1.

    it was weird as the crowd were neither pro whyte or chisora (as it was a johsua card) the crowd loved every minute of the war

    Best fight. Best war was Hilmer Kenty vs. Ralph Racine In Detroit 1980.

    I was wondering how the crowd was that night because it wasnt the most exciting fight to date and was wondering about crowd enthusiasm during

    So true about the small venue aspect. I live 40 min from the Turning Stone so I attend every one that comes thru including induction ceromonies every year right up the road in Canastota. January 18th Elieder Alvarez fight at the Stone, Ill be there

    I bought my father in law tickets to that fight while he was living in Florida lol. As far as actual good fights the best were likely Thurman/Porter at Barclays, Andy Lee against McEwan on an undercard in Connecticut and Omar Figueroa vs Arikawa in San Antonio.

    Watching it back it wasn't as big as it seemed at the time. I also haven't been to a lot of fights. It was pretty empty until about a half hour until the main event.

    I was also ringside for GGG's US debut at the Turning Stone vs Proksa. Lot of build up to his debut that night, expectations. And the crowd was alive that night as well as GGG delivered
