Your first boxing memory

Just checking out the Lennox Lewis dressing room clip after the Holyfield fight on the Classic I suddenly realised that the first time I'd heard of anything in boxing was the hell being raised about the decision.

So what was your first boxing memory?

 

Iron Mike beating the hell out of a game but overmatched Frank Bruno.

Well, that and Rocky IV of course

 

The last round of Calzaghe-Eubank just before my brother switched it on to watch his wrestling

That and Rocky IV too haha

 

i never watched boxing while i was boxing, strangely enough.

first fight i remember seeing was oscar de la hoya - hector camacho.

camacho wore this ridiculous 'space suit' that hopkins would have been proud of....

 

Jorge Paez doing flips

 

Bruno V Tyson in 1989.

 

this god awfull ad on tv for hagler vs john mugabi. hagler is in safari gear by a fire and mugabi jumps out and hagler says some cheesy line like " oh no, it's the beast!". back when fights were on saturday afternoons on abc's wide world of sports. the fight was much better then the ad.

 

were Mamoth's around then?

 

Either Tyson knocking someone out or the Lewis vs Holyfield fight, can't be sure which one was first.

 

Not one memory in particular but rather the entire Mike Tyson phenomenon that swept through the late 80's. Maybe Tyson fighting Tubbs in Japan.

 

Something with Tyson beating with someone and Mike Tyson's Punchout

 

Tyson vs. Spinks. That made a pretty big impression.

 

Tyson vs. Holmes.

 

Uhhhh...... :huh

 

Tyson getting knocked out in Japan I guess.
Probably something older that hardly lingers much now.
