    Ya know who started it all???

    Ali back in '77 when he fought Shavers @ MSG. Star Wars music...

    A boxing writter just sent me this info. Last week I remember talking about Kelly's Korn music he comes in to & said he better NEVER change it & that he's prob supertitious & never will. Looks like I was right.

    Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik: "I play Korn’s 'Here to Stay.' Because you really don’t have a lot time. So you need to find something that’s quick, has the energy right from the rip. When I was listening to it, I knew it would get people going. You only get 30 to 40 seconds and it’s perfect. And it became part of superstition – we won big fights with that song, so we’re sticking with it."



    Andrew Golota: "I think (my favorite choice) it was Kanye (West's "Stronger"). The last time (vs. Mike Mollo) I got Kanye West. Before that I used Eminem, Usher, one time about ten years ago I got entry music in the Rocky movie. It was back in '98 I fought the guy who called himself T-Rex (Corey Sanders). You got ten rounds, it was a good fight. (Does the music actually help your performance would you say?) Yep. A little bit. Not a lot, but little bit. Gets the adrenaline going. If you come out with the lousy music, the beginning (of fight) not so good."


    :cool:

    I don't care for Korn but love that Pavlik comes into the ring with some metal blarin' over the PA.

    I loved Jermain Taylor's walk in song for the Pavlik rematch, "Apologize". I thought it was very cool the first time hearing it.

    I seem recall hearing or reading that Larry Holmes was the first to enter with music. I will search to verify when I get a chance.

    Tito's entrance in the Hopkins fight.

    One of the best song I ever heard. Took me quite much of time to find it though !

    Some of the weakest entrances:

    Vitali coming out to "Hotel California" by The Eagles.

    John Ruiz coming out to "NY State of Mind" by Billy Joel.

    Wlad coming out to "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner.

    I think it all kinda came around after watching Elvis enter the stage for a live show to a massive Richard Strauss Fanfare.... It was awesome.. Ali loved showmanship and he also loved Elvis... I remember the robe he wore into the ring against Kenny Norton.. Elvis gave it to him.. it was full of sequins and rhinestones......

    The song that some Detroit band wrote for Tommy Hearns prior to Lenoard/Hearns I is still my favorite:

    Sugay Ray they say,
    He's the fastest in the land,
    But Ole Tommy Hearns
    He's got hammers in his hands.

    Classic **** right there!
