What is your first boxing memory?

staying up to watch bruno mccall when i was 7

 

Tyson fighting James bonecrusher Smith on ITV and it being repeated again and again.

 

Tyson's DQ against Holyfield - I was like 8 or 9.

I remember thinking "this guy is a maniac!"

 

And me

 

Glory hunter :deal

 

I'm pretty sure I watched some of the boxing at the Barcelona Olympics with my Dad.

 

Tyson-Holyfield II, although I remember Lewis-Holyfield I more vividly. After staying up for it my brother made me score it the next day due to the decision :yep

Tyson, Lewis and Naz were the main guys that got me into boxing.

 

Watchin Hagler destroy Minter with me Dad. Remember being absolutely gutted and close to tears one second then laughing the next when Harry carpenter was almost hit with a bottle. I know it was'nt funny but as a 9 yr old lad Harrys yelp and them tryin to shelter Hagler out the ring was strangly hilarious.

 

I was 28

 

How did you get into the Japanese stuff, Kos? :think

 

Naz entrance against McCullough

edit: I thought it said 'best boxing memory'

 

Yeah me too and i've only just turned 25.

As mentioned my favourite memory is Naz's entrance against McCullough.

But my earliest would be Barcelona Olymipcs. Wayne McCullough winning silver and Michael Carruth getting Gold for Ireland.

 

Off-subject...

But that was one of the most disgraceful things I have seen in boxing...

 

why? I thought it was hilarious.

 

Only last year really that I got into it (although I'd seen Hasegawa, Nishioka before). The build up and show of Hasegawa-Montiel got me hooked.
