6 year old watching Frank Bruno get massacred by Iron Mike Tyson. My dad was a massive Bruno fan and I just remember being in total awe of the phenomenon that was a prime Mike Tyson.
Leonard vs Hagler, I was 9. I had heard alot about Tyson and knew who he was but didn't see him fight until Spinks. Ironic my favorite fighter ever was the first fight I remember and his last fight ever
I am guessing you are talking actually being there.. Mine was John Conteh against Len Hutchins in my home town Liverpool.
First memories of boxing was watching the mayweather hatton 24/7 episodes on sky sports and admirin the roughness and hard work the fighters put in. I was 14 years old then
Ray Leonard vs Hearns, the first fight. Watched it at my Grandad's, I was maybe 5 or 6, didn't understand it but loved the way Leonard threw punches. Still my all time favorite fighter.
My parents used to watch the Ali fights on free TV in the early 1970s. I was in the living room in front of the tv with them. The first fight I remember clearly was Ali-Jimmy Young in early 1976. That summer I followed Ray Leonard throughout the Montreal Olympics. Good times, good times.
Chris Byrd - Frankie Swindell.. Didn't see it live but on Eurosports boxing coverage. They had that amazing commenator who always said "Frankie Swindell is the man with the remarkable fat suit". Since then I always had a softspot for Frankie
