Re-live your most exciting/memorable night of boxing

Floyd vs. Hatton was probably the best night of boxing for me because of the great group of guys we had together to watch it. The fight also had a lot of tension and it was two undefeated guys fighting.... One of the most fun nights of boxing I've ever had.

 

Yep, I'd have lost it also. It was a great fight to watch live, particularly when you factor in all of the pre-fight hype and the followings of both fighters being undefeated and everything, etc..

 

Well, I'd be lying if I said I was into boxing like 100 percent from that age on. After that fight I don't really have any memories until the Foreman fight. Around the time Lewis was fighting Tua is when I want to say I really really got into it and I never fell out of it. I also around this time red the Thomas Hauser biography on Muhammad Ali, and seeing the inside of training camps and inside the minds of the great fighters of that era really hooked me for life.

I actually went to school in Radford, VA, while my wife was getting her masters there as well. I worked at the Roanoke Times for about 7 months doing high school sports for them.

Also, I grew up in Winchester, VA, if that means anything to you, and lived in Harrisonburg until 7 months ago when we moved to Las Vegas. I've gotten to cover about 6-7 cards so far, with the best one being the JuanMa-Marquez card. Oh, also, I was born in Annapolis, MD.

I just recently got into boxing (at 27 years of age) my neighbor is actually an MMA trainer but agreed to teach me what he knows about stand-up, with the thought of me heading to a real boxing gym in another month or two. Up until about 2-3 months ago I hadn't done anything for like 7 years, so it's been a process getting into some kind of shape.

 

I was ther for Morales vs pac. 1, Jones tarver 2. Best for me was Juan Manuel Marquez vs Michael Katsidis. It was my sixth Marquez fight. This one was special becaus Juan Manuel is my favorite fighter .I got to carry his WBA belt into the ring with him that night! the feeling was awsome. Can't imagine the feeling for the fihhters as they walk to the ring for these big fights. Thank you Juan Manuel. Fight on Brother!!

 

Great post:deal

 

Julio Cesar Chavez sr vs Hector Macho Camacho, there was about 100 ppl at my old house in anaheim and a big ass party just for the fight, everyone was all into it. Good times.

 

the very reason i ****ing detest klit

 

lmao

 

amateur, it was my first ever, which is what made it special. the guy was known for being very skilled, but a little chinny. his eyes were still open so it was a little worrying at first, but he was fine.

he ran right into it, you know, because he wobbled me backwards., you know when the timing is just right and it connects perfectly.

edit: i had stopped a few guys, but never laid someone out like this before, especially when the crowd went silent

 

1st of j griz, ****ing awesome thread:good
My happiest boxing memory is a bit strange as I've seen a fair few big fights (pretty much everything hatton-may onwards) on tele and I've seen some amateur stuff live. But my happiest memory is quite recent, I'd turned down the offer of hitting the town on a Saturday night to stay up and watch pwill-maravilla 2 live on a shitty satellite feed of hbo at what-the-****-o'clock in the morning. I had some money Sergio and I wanted to watch the fight live and try and score it myself so I could at least come and whinge on here in the morning. I was bored waiting so I raided my dads whiskey stash and had a couple of Ginger beer-whisky mixes. So I was a bit pissed when the main event rolled around and my attempts at scoring the 1st round were derailed by inebriation and indignation at the arselicking from the hbo team. I was really worried bout Sergio getting jobbed by the judges then..... BOOM!!!!! I was in shocked silence for about 10 seconds then I started screaming 'you got knocked the **** out son!' over and over. Woke my mam and dad up, got bollocked for waking them up, dad went nuts when he saw I'd drank a 3rd of a bottle of whiskey! I couldn't get to sleep for hours, I was too excited. Only 3 times in my life has sport gave me a bigger buzz. When I was in Spain this summer when they won the would cup and the wholeplace went insane for 24 hours, when sunderland beat Newcastle 2-1 at home 2 years ago and when I scored my 1 and only goal for my 11 a side team and we won (I'm a defender and hardly ever get a chance to haha)
