What is your first boxing memory?

I was on holiday in the canaries for that one, Surprisingly the pub where I watched it was pretty quiet and I got to watch the whole thing undisturbed lol.

My first memory was Ali v Berbick, I was too young to understand why Ali didnt win but that was when I became a fan and soon learned that everything is not always what it seems in this sport of ours lol

 

:good

 

Early Tyson is my first memory - I was only young but everybody knew who Mike Tyson was.

In terms of an actual fight - Tyson vs Bruno 1. It wasn't live I'm sure they showed it on Grandstand (or similar) the day after or maybe even the following week.

And a little later the news that the impossible had happened and the baddest man on the planet had lost against Buster Douglas. I even bought the James Buster Douglas Boxing game for the Mega drive off the back of that. He did alright considering he was only champ for about 8 months.

 

The earliest boxing memory I have (I think) was when Ali lost to Leon Spinks. I was completely gutted he lost and looked so old and jaded (much like myself nowadays).

 

Listening with my dad to Chris Finnegan v Bob Foster on the radio in the kitchen because my mum wanted to watch TV in the living room.

 

Probably talking at school about Tyson beating Bruno in their 2nd fight .
