    There were so many.

    Tyson v Carl 'the truth' Williams - I think it was on ITV (early am) and Williams in the build up was giving it large talking crap, but on the night he didnt look as confident. As Tyson entered the ring, I got a shiver down my spine - I am feeling like "**** I would hate to be Carl Williams right now". After the first bell [as with all Tyson fights in his prime] you are just waiting for him to do his thing and land a spectacular KO - the same kind of anticipation when you are watching a special footballer like Maradona etc do something special everytime he got the ball. Tyson was the only fighter that I got that buzz from when I watched him live.

    Bruno v McCall was another memorable live fight - great entrance, atmosphere and brilliant moment to see Bruno finally get there in the end.

    My favourite live fight has to be McGuigan v Pedrosa - I can remember everyone talking about that fight all week - it was a special outdoor event - the crowd and atmosphere was something else.

    Froch and Pascal had me on the edge of my seat, toe to toe for 12 rounds.

    I loved watching Willie Casey edge out his second win in the Prize Fighter, what a warrior.

    Not TV but listening to the froch v taylor fight .... had it on 5 live with Duke McKenzie going mental at the end.... i was up and jumping around and my dogs were going mental ...

    TV it has to be Bruno rocking Tyson ... and those infamous words for the legend Harry ' hes hurt tyson and he knows it .Get in there frank' - ****ing genuis !
