    2. Graduate student/part time slacker worker.

    3. Saw fights when I was a kid, but really got into boxing in the mid to late 90's, watching Roy, Tito, and Barrera- and started at that time to study older fighters.

    4. Recreational only, plenty of hard sparring but no fights.

    First fights I remember watching were bits of the 76 Olympics and Ali-Spinks 1. Although, I didn't become a rabid fan until watching Holfyield-Dokes
    I work out maybe once a month at a boxing gym. No ring experience.

    3.4. Got into boxing by accident when I was practising another sport activity in a known soccer club in Lisbon. First to control aggression, just recreational stuff. Had both amateur and 10 professional fights before a serious eye injury. Still train and spar as often as I can.

    2. Archaeological conservator

    3. Started kickboxing because I wanted to spar after wasting 8 years with traditional Karate, then noticed that the boxers sharing the same gym seemed to have a lot more, old-fashioned fun; hitting each other hard that is.

    4. One exhibiton fight, no matches (too old before it really caught me), medium to hard sparring twice a week:D

    Nothing big really....some of the cruise ships offer boxing lessons nowadays. Plan on doing some more this week, going on another cruise:good

    I did ok really, I throw straight and short punches from taking martial arts when I was younger. Horrible footwork nowadays though..

    2. Currently Jobless

    3. I saw a fight on TV and just loved it.. and my friends were big fans of just plain fighting. And that got me into boxing heavily. DLH-Vargas was the big fight that pushed me really into it.

    4. Sparring with friends, some small gym experience. Nothing huge.

    5. I LOVE BOXING!
