    I was 19, seeing this 24 year old bird in Newcastle, got pissed the night before and taped the fight. The next morning, while chomping on a sausage buttie, I played the tape and saw Naz get his arse handed to him by Barrera. I was ****ing gutted.

    Actually, just remembered Manny VS De La Hoya, that was a sad fight to see for me. I hadn't watched Oscar much before that fight but I had been told that he was a great fighter and that I should watch this fight and I was so pumped to see him fight... and then he got his ass beat by a midget. Bad times.

    The Cotto fight got to me a little bit, every punch he took from Margo had him almost jumping away as if to say 'What the **** was that' I'm still not entirely sure Margo was using loaded wraps but there was something about that fight that was not right. Cotto was never wobbled but the punches ****ed his face right up and the pain was clearly there.

    Was working the night of the Buster Douglas fight and called my GF a liar when she told me Tyson lost.

    Also was pissed beyond belief when Oscar ran his way out of a W against Tito.

    I highley doubt you were following Manny back then, Barley any of the Filipinos gave him much thought... seriously..... or was it watching a video of that fight years later?:think Now we might be on to something here.

    mayweather has not loss and is the only fighter i have left to not feel sorry for.
    when mike tyson, roy jones jr, hopkins, vargas, morrales, lose i always took it hard.
    certain fighters if up to me would never lose again, like cotto and judah !

    Well im 48 man so I think the fist time I felt that sick feeling was when Salvador Sanchez beat up Danny Lopez. I keep wiating for the classic Lopez comeback but it never came.
