    Don't peak too early.

    Going straight in there with Castillo/Corrales 1 or Vasquez/Marquez means its all downhill from there should you manage to pique her interest.

    You need to pick something accessible and entertaining.

    My recomendations would be:

    Hamed-Kelley for the appetiser.

    Casamayor-Marquez for the main course.

    Pacquiao-Hatton for the dessert.

    Give her short and sweet fights; even exciting fights will bore her over 15 rnds.

    a few tyson scraps from the 80's maybe...Tyson v Holmes?

    most casuals and non-casuals when it come to boxing just wonna see knockouts, thats what its all about for them they don't have care for the intricacies, they get impatient if a fighter feints or if he's not walking into a punch everytime, they just understand POW!, some are wow'd by highlights of roy jones or pernell whitaker the word being highlights, i've got a lot of people into boxing via RJJ and sweet pea highlights.

    Id make her watch John Ruiz entire career for making you watch dirty dancing personally like mate!

    But on a serious note, Gatti v Ward 1,2 or 3, Corrales v Castillo 1 & Muhammad Ali v Williams just to show her someone at the very very top of his game.

    Why the hell would u want 2 get a bird into boxing? Think about it. The next time you plan a boxing trip with the boys. She might actually want to come.:bart Not worth thinking about IMO.

    I've actually done a similar thing with my missus, in exchange for going to watch her play Netball (which I consider to be beyond a joke).

    I showed her...

    Naz-Kelley - Including all the build-up and excitement beforehand - the girls are big fans of that!

    Carl Froch-Jermaine Taylor - That was the first twelve rounder and she said it was one of the few times she could understand all the fuss about Boxing. Her exact words "Why does he get hit all the time and not go down like the other ones?" Bless.

    Controversial final choice...

    Watson-Eubank II - Just don't tell her about the aftermath...face value it is a fantastic fight.
