    It was Spinks v Holmes on TV, 1985.

    I was very young back then and didn't know jack about boxing. My father was raving about it being a David v Goliath battle as we were watching it on TV, and then he was raving for a week after that when Spinks won.

    Frank Bruno v Mike Tyson on the radio in 89?? I was a kid then and almost cried when Frank got beat. I grew up watching the super-middles of the 90s.

    Tyson-Frazier on TV, 1st round KO back in 1986. I was a kid, and it impressed the hell out of me, but it didn't make me a boxing fan. That happened some years later, when I saw James Toneys early fights.

    Listening to Prince Nassem Hamed on the radio very early in the morning, just trying to imagine the way he moves was crazy, but my earliest memory

    Tyson vs someone in the 90s. But Oscar vs Vargas was the fight that I sat down and watched and remember very clearly.


    I also remember my sisters boyfriend at the time who I hated. Was cheering heavily for Vargas because he said he was a true mexican (him also being mexican). So I rooted for DLH and he knocks his ass out.


    EDIT - I had to add this cause I know freddy would come in here and call me racist against mexicans. But my sister is half mexican (different fathers), and the reason i disliked her boyfriend was because he treated her like **** and I knew that he was eventually going to hit her, which he did, but what made it even worse was he was born without a hand on his left arm. So it was pure bone when he did hit her.. broke his nose and she was messed up bad for a bit. (Thank god they aren't together)
