How did you feel when your hero first got beat?

My hero retired before I started watching boxing.

 

I was 19, seeing this 24 year old bird in Newcastle, got pissed the night before and taped the fight. The next morning, while chomping on a sausage buttie, I played the tape and saw Naz get his arse handed to him by Barrera. I was ****ing gutted.

 

Cotto almost getting killed in a fight he should of easily won against Cheato.

 

Actually, just remembered Manny VS De La Hoya, that was a sad fight to see for me. I hadn't watched Oscar much before that fight but I had been told that he was a great fighter and that I should watch this fight and I was so pumped to see him fight... and then he got his ass beat by a midget. Bad times.

 

The Cotto fight got to me a little bit, every punch he took from Margo had him almost jumping away as if to say 'What the **** was that' I'm still not entirely sure Margo was using loaded wraps but there was something about that fight that was not right. Cotto was never wobbled but the punches ****ed his face right up and the pain was clearly there.

 

Was working the night of the Buster Douglas fight and called my GF a liar when she told me Tyson lost.

Also was pissed beyond belief when Oscar ran his way out of a W against Tito.

 

I was depressed for months when Roy got KO'd by Tarver.

 

I highley doubt you were following Manny back then, Barley any of the Filipinos gave him much thought... seriously..... or was it watching a video of that fight years later?:think Now we might be on to something here.

 

actually fell for the roy jones hype after the trinidad fightatsch. calzage fight made me look like an idiot

 

when douglas beat tyson in japan.

 

Damn. atsch


This thread title has my name written all over it. :verysad



No comment.

 

Was on a boxing site 'n a guy who thought Roy Jones, Jr was a God, left the site and sulked for months when RJ was KO'd the first time.

 

mayweather has not loss and is the only fighter i have left to not feel sorry for.
when mike tyson, roy jones jr, hopkins, vargas, morrales, lose i always took it hard.
certain fighters if up to me would never lose again, like cotto and judah !

 

Not the first time ...

But watching my hero Gatti get beat like that by May ... that was painful to watch

 

Well im 48 man so I think the fist time I felt that sick feeling was when Salvador Sanchez beat up Danny Lopez. I keep wiating for the classic Lopez comeback but it never came.
