    No, poor phrasing on my part, it was just the first one I sat down to watch as it happened. Before then I had only watched fights that had already happened. I've yet to go to one live, but maybe one day.

    First fight I ever watched live was Tyson-Douglas when I was 6 years old. Check that fight out bro, if you haven't already watched it.

    Nice! You got into the sport on a huge upset and with a lot of years of great fights ahead of you. Hopefully I'm in the same boat. Looking promising so far :smile:

    Hey, looks like it stuck at least :thumbsup:

    I actually don't have a solid pick for that one at the moment. I feel like Ortiz might have the best chance. Then again, this fight got delayed twice because of injuries and medical stuff with Ortiz, so that could end up playing a huge part in what happens. That makes me kinda lean toward Stanionis, but I wouldn't bet money on either one. How about you?

    That's what is in the back of my mind too, both fighters have had issues with their health, could it still be as good a fight as when It was first signed? I'm hoping so, but we gotta keep in mind that the health issues could play a part in how the fight plays out as well. I think both fighters have trained hard and are confident of victory, so I'm very anxious to see this fight.

    First Tyson match I saw live was against Marvis Frazier, although it may have been a repeat on something, whatever it was it right around when it happened. Don't know what the first boxing match I saw was, it was always on in my household. I remember seeing Ray Mancini a lot and Sugar Ray Leonard was a constant. So yeah, I was hardwired from a young age, same thing goes for wrestling, and well..... movies and music. My family had no idea I was literally a walking encyclopedia downloading everything I watched as a child.:lol:

    I watched Hogan v Warrior a month later! Lol.. Tyson-Frazier was a 1round dust off. I saw that on his ESPN Documentary VHS tape.

    And honestly, I probably wanna see Fulton vs Inoue more than Spence/Crawford. That fight is gonna go crazy
