First Fight You Sat and Watched

Some Bones Adams fight on ESPN with my dad. Too young to remember much else. First I vividly remember was De La Hoya vs Vargas.

 

Man the age before PPV for every fight and pay channels had not taken over yet.....I remember Saturday and Sunday watching SportsWorld, Wide World of Sports and can't remember the other in fact that's how I saw the Hearns-Duran KO on SportsWorld I think on a Sunday afternoon but the first fight I sat down and watched was the Al-Frazier1 fight in 71 I watched it with my dad and his friends....the fight was one thing what I remembered more than that was the spectacle....the first fight I planned to watch was the SRL-Duran1 fight the issue I remember with planning to watch fights was finding the schedules in magazines or newspapers and if it was big enough it was advertised.

 

if I remember correctly the
very first fight I ever saw as a
kid, was a family get together
where we all watched Hector
Camacho vs. Edwin Rosario
(on HBO if I remember correctly).
May these two true Warriors
Rest in Peace.

 

Chavez-Taylor

 

Patterson-Chuvalo live on tv.

 

Like, of my own accord? Picked up the remote control and tuned into boxing myself? (as opposed to watching Tyson or Hagler with my dad while too little to really have a grasp on everything)

Probably something on HBO in my teens in the late 90's, think I caught a Barrera or Hamed or Tapia or Morales fight just flipping channels and from then on was hooked.

 

Probably Mancini vs somebody.

 

First was Mcguigan Pedrosa. But I listened to a lot on the radio first .

 

Probably mine too.

 

I watched it at a friends,I thought Tyson was sloppy that night.

 

Weren't you ringside for David vs Goliath?

Sorry, couldn't help myself
