You know you're a boxin fan when: You try to rally up your co-workers about an upcoming fight and they try to act interested all while having this I don't care look on their face.
When you literally just go home from the hospital after major surgery on your back knowing you'll be out of it for days, but insist to your parents that you still want to order Barrerra-Morales II, and you do, but somehow become the only person in the world to fall asleep during the fight because of the pain meds, and the fact you don't really remember anything from the undercard either. It's the effort that counted, and of coursed I taped it on one of those fancy vcr things.
When you just sat through 18 pages and read every post of this thread and agreed with the majority of them. When you have Buffer saying "lets get ready to rumble" on your msg tone, you think it's perfectly normal, bordering on cool, when everyone else thinks you a weirdo.
What was yours on somebody you admire? I wrote about Kassim Ouma lol. I don't really admire him but he has a good story behind him that took up a few pages lol.
lol yea. A famous person you admire. Had a lot to write about Cotto and made sure the examiner knew that he was being ducked by Floyd . Ouma was a good choice, his story is fascinating. Let's hope the examiner follows boxing:good.
When, faced with the task of explaining to your girlfriend who's been watching boxing for less than three years that De La Hoya actually has accomplished some pretty great things and was once a fearsome fighter, you don't give up. No matter how many times she brings up The World Awaits (and how Mayo was a smokescreened mismatch and how despicable it is to pick on little Stevie) and starts throwing pots and pans.
When Cuba is not synonym with Fidel Castro, communisms or Cigars: it brings boxing powerhouse first to your mind.
You get excited because a co-worker made a boxing comment and you instinctily think he is a hardcore boxing fan, so inside you get happy and excited and start thinking about the next fights you can watch together only to hear him ask next why De La Hoya never fought Tyson. Then you get a depressed feeling.
