You know you're a boxing fan if...

When you routinely watch Solo Boxeo Tecate without speaking a lick of Spanish or feel the need to archive every single HBO and Showtime telecast to DVD, whether if it's Dirrell-Stevens or Taylor-Spinks.

Or Almazbek Raiymkulov without going to boxrec.com.

 

Or Sergei Liakhovich....and know it's pronounced (La-ho-vich..)...

 

Great Thread, but i guess one of the signs of being a boxing fan is also being able to change any topic into a boxing one even if people havent watched a fight in years, and there a re a lot more i do that have been mentioned here

 

You know your a boxing fan if your brother cannot comprehend how can you watch the same fight over and over again, and in turn you cannot be bothered explaining why it's so great.

 

Haha, as if you did

 

that is my birthday too

 

you tell people you cleaned oscar de la hoyas shoes before a fight!

 

you choose to watch delahoya/mayweather at home instead of at the bar or a friends house because you don't want too many people around talking, drinking, and getting in front of the tv and all that ****!!!

 

if you would lick jermain taylors toes just to watch the rematch bewteen him and kelly pavlik!

then ya no ya a boxing fan!

 

Your nervous to pit of your stomach before every big fight.

 

When you try to use the philly shell defense, and throw body shots during a street fight. Side note, the Winky Wright full guard defense and body punching are highly effective in a street fight. No one expects you to go to the body.
