mine was just yesterday. between ortiz n maidana, and man that **** was crazy! i didnt think i'd be jumping out of impulse.. i was like mark walhberg in there! but i guess thats what happens when you see two knockdowns back2back! anyways, i do think ortiz got carried away by the cheerings as it did get loud there.. damn, i guess i found a new hobby! any esb members there?? btw, i manage to sneak in a shot of ortiz from my phone.. This content is protected ya its crap.. but 'pics or stfu' right??
Mine was at the Bell Centre in Montreal and let me tell you it was insane. The fight was Otis Grant versus Dingaan Thobela. I was also at the Bradely versus Holt fight also at the Bell Centre and that one was even better because I had floor seats and got to meet Nate Campbell.
Enmore Theatre, Sydney in the middle of 2000...Just a local card that had Nader Hamden, Hussein Hussein, Jason Delisle and ****** Rowsell. Pretty cool..There were a fair few arabs there for Nader and Hussy..they had their drums going and were really getting into it..made for a good atmosphere.
Nice man :good My first live experience was watching my boy Marco fight his last fight (hopefully) against Khan. It sucks that I never saw the real Barrera, but the under card was good and just seeing him in the flesh was worth the price of admission alone.
I saw a british title fight between Scott Dann and Wayne Elcock, to be honest though Im a boxing nut it kinda sucked as I was to far back to see the full extent of the punches, so I promised myself next time it'd be ringside or just watch it on TV -for me unless your gettin blood speckled it aint the best live- hope Im proved wrong in the future tho
i saw some local fight cards but the first "big" card i saw was some shitty don king ppv at the united center in chicago... i remember mayorga fought piccirillo on the undercard for a 154 lb. title... and then the main event was some terrible heavyweight fight between hasim rahman and somebody else... horrible
pacquiao-morales 1. everything about the fight lived up to hype. i'm extremely greatfull that i got to see erik at his finest as put fourth a classic 'el terrible' performance. although i lost $500 the experience was priceless.
First show was a local club show, had a great time. First big fight was Espadas/Morales 1 and I was like a kid in a candy store seeing Zab,Floyd,McCullough,Duran walking around.
My first live fight had Vonda Ward fighting someone in the main event and a bunch of local guys on the undercard. It was ****ing awesome though because Roy Jones was the promoter and I got to meet him and get his autograph. He shook my hand, then signed my ticket, then signed my brother's ticket and posed for pictures or signed something from anyone who asked. Cool ****in' dude, and totally appreciates his fans. My first major fight was Liakhovich-Brewster at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland. GREAT ****ing fight, possibly the best HW fight of the last 15 years. Spent a LOT of money on my seats and couldn't be happier that I had. Great show; Don King, say what you will about him, can put together a great fight card. The undercard was pretty awesome, then the Main Event was ****ing amazing.
:rofl Mine was Bika-Codrington, good enough time and great seats - got sweat splattered more than a couple of times. :yep
Foreman-Coetzer/Morrison-Williams in Reno, NV. The Morrison-Williams fight was awesome. Each guy down multiple times. Morrison almost got stopped and was down twice in a round and about to go down a 3rd time and then came back to stop him several rounds later.
I was still young and I saw Luisito Espinosa lose by KO to Israel Contreras. I was so angry that my dad probably had second thoughts about introducing me to boxing.
That was my first as well. Rahman-Barrett Everything before the main event was cool. Feeling was electric. :smoke
