    had to be Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed :eek:ld

    but my first memory of a live fight was Holmes-Norton in 1978 on tv (was 8 y/o)

    two years later Duran-Leonard Brawl in Montreal is the first one that I most vividly remember especially being from Montreal...that fight was a real big thing back then...

    I remember watching Pryor and Arguello. I doubt it was when it originally happened because I would have only been 2. I was still pretty damn small, but I'm sure it was on one of my dads tapes. he has a pretty good fight collection.

    john h stracey beating jose napoles in mexico to win the welterweight title.

    it was shown on bbc grandstand and was a huge event in british boxing at the time and is the fight that stands out in my head as my first memory of boxing and i remember sitting around the tv with my brothers and parents to watch that fight.

    I used to watch fights when I was VERY young, but the first one in which I actually remember the names was Ray Macini and Linvingstone Bramble.
