    Dude, when I was like 9 or 10 I loved collecting baseball, basketball, football cards and I got a hold of these kayo cards and then I loved them...recors on the back...sweet pics on the front and then I got into watching boxing, then I started boxing, watching old fights on video (I'd watch leonard-hearns as soon as I got home from school or hagler-leonard, you can feel the elecricity in the arena even on old ass laser disc-back then I scored it 118-110 or something ridiculous like that for Leonard...every time I watch it now-it gets closer still leonard's though) but yeah that's when it started all though I remember Tyson big parties with my Dad, Uncles, etc...it wasn't until I got those cards, favorite fighter fighting back then: sweet pea amazed me.

    this was exactly same as me. Casual fan. Got massively into this fight. Now huge boxing fan. watch and follow all fights, form local domestice, to the big fights.

    That's why the big fights need to happen. They really do bring in casual fans, and can turn them into hardcore fans, improving the sport.

    leeds to doncaster would probably take 30/40 mins on a train, then from the airport to wincobank would probably be 30 mins in a taxi.

    I got into an interesting bar fight with Tony Galento. From then on, I thought this whole pugilism thing must be for me.

    My old man boxed as an amature and was going semi pro when he met a bird and he lost track, i boxed myself and tyson got me into boxing along with frank bruno. David Tua was good in his prime aswell. Its the only sport i follow now and will do untill i die!!

    Right, as soon as I get the price sorted you're getting Plastarito'd. It's gonna be SNV-Monte Barrett II.

    (Of course, I would not compare myself to SNV, just saying it will be a similar beatdown)
