    AJ vs Ruiz I

    And Tyson vs Douglas

    And Foreman vs Moorer

    I guess I am a sucker for massive underdog upsets

    I agree on fury wilder 3. I was screaming at my phone worse than Dionisio tried putting a hex on Manny's opponent. I was rooting for Deontay lol. I've seen a lot of fights but the emotional investment for this was huge...bomb squad!!!

    Adamek over briggs 2 or Cunningham

    As a polak theres not much for me to root for

    Was a huge Hopkins fan have a fascination with both Taylor fights and Taylor vs pavlik

    Also rooted hard for bradley to beat Pacquiao so lets leave it at that

    Best fight ive seen live in the arena is glowacki vs huck and that was a hell of a night

    More boxing related rather than the bouts content themselves.

    As i have said previously, seeing the image of Leon Spinks held aloft arms raised and with his gaped teeth grin on announcement of his win over Ali, was for me at the time being a teenage recruit in basic training a true 'Rocky' moment, youth and inexperience conquering The Greatest. Ah memories of when Kernow Warrior was youthful but living his dream, seeing a young Spinks living and achieving his dream (albeit short lived)

    The 5 minute ovation of "Bruno, Bruno chant that Frank Bruno got when introduced to the audience at the Hatton-Tszyu fight, not long after his discharge from mental health unit sure stirred up emotions, love and respect being shown to Bruno after his real serious mental health breakdown, i think i had a little bit of dust in my eye that night.....

    Ali V Foreman.....A prime Monster in Foreman up against a 33 Year old so called finished Ali.....Still makes my hair stand up on the back of my neck when I watch how Ali confronted an absolute Demon and defeated it.!!!
