    i dunno about one particular night...i love the memories of boxing when i was a kid. Have flashbacks of random fights. Like when Henry Wharton charged off stool and hit Nardiello. Benn-McClellan was a really amped up experience. I remember it vividly. I never seen my father bay for someones blood like he did McClellan's. He disliked the way in which Gerald disrespected Benn and his Father. Still does now. I wouldn't say i enjoy it but it stands out in my mind.

    I think my favorite Memory was probably Thompson vs Eubank I. That night showed that through it all Eubank went from pantomime villain to a British hero. The crowd chanted ''Eubank...Eubank...Eubank.'' The music hit and Chris laid one of his finest performances and in defeat showed why he will also be a legend in British boxing. Remember thinking he had Thompson gone but Thompson was play acting. What a fight that was.

    As it was free and on ITV1, and the fact it was built up so big, AND because I was proven right, I'm going to shock a lot of posters on here and say Calzaghe-Lacy.

    Pac-Oscar was quality as well, again because I was proven right.

    Cotto-Marg was the most I've anitcipated a fight for years; horrible result now, and a great fight tainted due to what has transpired afterwards.

    Haye vs Maccarinelli

    I was round Mrs Lee Mc's parent's house and ALL of us were glued to the set. Her Dad and I watched boxing together every week but even Mrs Lee Mc and her Mum got caught up in the hype for that one!
