How Many Live Fights Have You Been To ?

Too few.

Nationally televised: Jaidon Codrington vs. Sakio Bika & Mike Oliver vs. Reynaldo Lopez

...and a few other small-potato local cards.

 

Too many to name the best one was Morales/Barrera I, Mckinney/Barrera and countless Barrera fights. Probably at least 20 at the great western forum, Maybe 10 at the Olympic Auditorioum, A few at the Pond, many more at other venues in the LA area.
And at least 10 in Vegas. Last one in Vegas was the Quartey/Vargas fight. Last one in the LA are was Delahoya/Forbes. Probably at least 40 all together.

 

Floyd Mayweather vs. Sharmba Mitchell - (Saw Andre Ward on undercard)
Vic Darchinyan vs. Jorce Arce - (saw Vanes Martirosyan and Kid Diamond vs. Tony De Marco on undercard)

And best of all..


Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Arreola. That was some evening!!!!!

Almost went to that fight,had to cancel. Do you live in theLA area?

 

100`s

i used to go to the york hall in the early 80`s to the early 90`s and we went virtually every fortnight , except during the short off season.

been to the albert hall
alexander palace/wembley arena
/qpr/tottenham/finsbury park/lewisham theater (driving all around lewisham looking for lewisham theater when it turned out to be on the corner of catford broadway and no one we asked new where it was.)edmonton/dagenham/basildon/ etc etc but my bread and butter was the york hall.

in the 80`s we used to pull up around 6.30 and be able to park by the church on the other side of the road a few yards from the entrance.

i bet its a red route or no parking 24/7 now.

we just used to turn up sometimes knowing there was a bill on and watch whoever was there.


once we got to see frankie randall v edwin rosario
2 of the very best lightwights of the last 30 years fighting in the uk at the small york hall venue.

 

No flew in from Washington... very worth it.

Joe calzaghe v peter manfredo
Amir Khan v Marco Antonio Barrera
Danny Butler v "some bum" in my hometown bristol

but best of all was Manny Pacquiao v Ricky Hatton in las vegas. fight was **** for obvious reasons but holiday was mint. gott hammered, ****ed a mexican bird and lost loads of money

 

I'm originally from Massachusetts and now I live in New Orleans, so pickings are slim. I've only been to one fight. In August I saw the Delvin Rodriguez vs. Isaac Hlatshwayo IBF Welterweight title fight at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut.

I did get to see Demetrius Andrade on the undercard though. He's an up-and-comer, I guess.

 

Amir Khan Vs. Andriy Kotelnik with the likes of Kell Brook Paul Smith and Kevin Mitchell alongside James De Gale, Frankie Gavin, Billy Joe Saunders, enzo maccaranelli etc. That fightcard was stacked.

Also went to Froch Vs. Dirrell, awesome atmosphere for that shame the fight didn't produce the goods.

Im looking to go to vegas in the next few years to hopefully see a super fight and lose lots of money.

 

Arreola vs Travis Walker this was a great fight, Mosley vs Mayorga was really good also. Then Arreola vs Vitali this fight was not that good, had bad seats.

 

Paul Williams and...
Margo
Quintana1
Quintana2
Phillips
Winky
Sergio

I usually post pics, but I forgot to post the ones of the Sergio fight...

 

I'm an armchair boxing fan. I've done kickbox when I was younger, but that's it for me. But really, it's not like great boxing matches are scheduled around my place

 

Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard
hahaha just kidding
I've been to some local 4 rounder fights around Massachusetts. and a few tournaments.

Local area title fights, not many down my way.

I'd rather spend my $$$$ in the states, the whole scene is just 100% far better there to be honest, Vegas is a long way away for us, but it's deff worth the trip to see how it should be done + the yank boxing fans make for great company on fight night.
