    I will be by 9 :lol: I got a little of it now, but I'm good. I'm usually very relaxed.

    edit: I was nervous before Mike Jones's last fight also. Very nervous before Marquez/Pacquiao for Juan and I get a little bit of for Sergio.

    Only when Floyd fights
    He's our hometown hero and the biggest thing to come out of our small city ever so when he steps in the ring GrandRapids goes in there with him and he's undefeated if he doesn't beat Marciano's record I at least want him to retire with the 0.

    Boxing is in an all time low and this is nothing like waiting for a SRL-Hagler, SRL-Hearns II, Tyson fights, RJJ fights, Toney fights at MW and SMW, even Holyfield-Bowe trilogy fights or Holyfield-Lewis, JCC vs Whitaker or JCC vs Taylor, ODLH vs JCC, ODLH vs SSM, ODLH vs Tito, ODLH vs Vargas, Hopkins vs Tito, Tszyu vs Judah, Judah vs Spinks, Hopkins vs Taylor or even Mayweather vs Gatti, Mayweather vs Judah... Possibly the last big fight was ODLH vs Mayweather. From that point on, there have been thrillers like Vasquez-Marquez four fights, Pac vs JMM trilogy, Ward-Gatti trilogy, Castillo-Corrales, Brewster vs Wlad Klitschko, JMM vs Juan Diaz, Katsidis vs Casamayor Cotto-SSM, Cotto-Margo, Martinez-PW, Ortiz vs Maidana, Ortiz vs Berto, Khan vs Peterson but there's no real antecipation and nervous feelings unless you r a fan and u r really expecting to fight the odds, all the haters and very hard opponents like me and Hopkins against Dawson last weekend...

    Especially when I have £200 on the underdog!
    Other than that,I only get nervous and shaky when the missus asks to use my laptop.

    The weigh-ins seem to get you more fired up unless it is a big preparation to the bouth, with mutitle anthems and huge entrances, Michael Buffer pumping it up as much as he can and the guys startv to feel somehow uneasy.

    All the time. With very big fights.

    Mayweather v Mosely- when Shanes music came on and the camera showed him walking through the MGM Grand corridors about to do his run walk i had a mini panic attack and had to concentrate on breathing properly. I was that excited and nervous about that fight.

    Hatton vs mayweather was the same

    I only shake & get nervous at the end, if it wasn't a KO, waiting to see if it will be a corrupt decision.
