    Pick good fights.

    But being a female look for somebody that might be seen as eye candy (in the least gay way possible), or somebody that puts on a bit of entertainment maybe a Naseem Hamed. Two guys beating the living **** out of each other she might not identify with.

    Tell her to ****off, an agreement is just " what a fanny he is " when her mates text her.......

    Name the fights, include Eubank, Simon and McGowan and i will say you are ok, yet stupid :good

    Hamed vs Kelley would be a good one (not exactly violent, and is a fun fight).

    Go for something that is a good entertaining fight but not brutal....go with a De La Hoya fight......De La Hoya-Quartey?? and maybe Froch Pascal and finish off with maybe Naz or Eubank fight.

    you need an exciting eb and flow fight without a lot of blood, maybe leonard/duran 1

    in may experience someone flamboyant and flashy in the ring or devastating and straight to the point also helps, someone like a prime Roy jones clowning someone, i agree Naseem hamed would also be good, Naz/kelly (my girl loved that fight)

    i would suggest maybe showing a little background of the fighters and the fight (to get some sort of affiliation) one of those hbo legendary nights type docs (only 30mins) would be good. watching leonard/hearns 1 means more if she knows and understands the signicants of it

    take everything into account though, the atmosphere, commentary, picture quality etc don't choose a fight with commentators who sound bored for example taylor/froch looks competely different for a casual depending on which commentary they listen to, showtimes great and others being shite

    thats not a fair deal, watching dirt dancing = giving away your dignity

    Show her David Haye v Monte Barrett. It isn't too long, she'll p*ss herself at Barrett's entrance, it was an exciting fight and its an intro to a guy who will hopefully be on the scene for a while. My missus tells me Haye is easy on the eye too.

    Other suggestions: Carbahal v Chiquita Gonzalez I
    Jamie Moore v Mathew Macklin
