    Maybe not the first one but the memory for me was Lewis Rahman. Staying up till all hours and watching him get banged.

    Im sure it was Jim Watt fighting for the world title against Alfredo Pitulua in 1979 when i was just 7 years old. I know for sure that i watched him defending the title against Charlie Nash in 1980 and then listened to his defence against Howard Davis on the radio

    I'd like to add, that first fight I ever saw live in person was Katsidis-Casamayor, that was a hell of a fight and I was sitting in the 2nd row, behind Shane Mosley..

    I have no real idea the first one I saw on TV but the first fight card I saw in person was headlined by Frankie Warren unanimously decisioning Gene Hatcher at Arco Arena in Sacramento, Ca.

    Impossible to remember for me. But it was a Pac fight that made me become a true boxing fan.

    First fight I remember watching on TV was John Mugabi vs James Green. I was watching with my mom and she said she hated boxing but also loved it.

    Went to some local live shows. First world class match I saw was Pac/Morales 2.

    Dating myself here but for my first live boxing match I watched Ray Mercer nearly decapitate Tommy Morrison.
