    Its the funniest thing. I know the outcome but I still get anxious right before the bell rings! I watched Roy vs Toney again the other day and laughed at myself as i started tapping my foot right before the fight.

    I'm not sure any other sport has that effect on me.

    This has never happened to me while watching a fight that already took place but it happens most of the time right before a fight that's about to take place.

    Yep -- adrenaline pumping -- holding breath -- ducking, bobbing, weaving in place -- calling out instructions -- and then WTF Boo -- this fight was 20 years ago -- and you've seen it 9 times:patsch

    all the time especially if i rewatch all the prehype vids as well. just the other week i watched ali/liston 1 and saw all the trash talk leading up to the fight then at the sound of round 1 I kept thinking to myself Liston is going to F*** him up even though i already saw it and knew the outcome.

    Heck I got anxious for re-watching Rocky IV the other day.

    Not often. Only happens with certain exeptional fights. Cotto vs Margarito was an epic and that happens when i watch that back.

    however watching Mosley Vs Mayweather live...when Shanes music came on and he started to walk the isle i felt like i could have a heart attack i was so ready for that fight!

    @Oli:

    This happened to me when i watched Forrest Mosley I "live". My heart was in my mouth literally. I was devastated when Shane lost.

    I feel the same way. Also, I prefer to stay up to watch the fights live (I'm from the UK), I feel that it's not the same as going to bed and leaving it recording because I'm watching stuff people have already seen and the outcome has already been decided.

    I kno the feeling, i also had it before dela hoya vs Mayweather, fast heartbeat and anxiousness! **** knows what the actuall fighters go thru! lol

    I was a bit upset after Cotto Vs Clottey when Clottey didnt get the decision! I couldnt stop thinking about it for the whole next day. Not because i wanted Cotto to lose because im a big Cotto fan, but i just honestly felt Clottey deserved it that nite and thot he had been screwed
