Which fight got you worked up the most ?

DeLaHoya vs Vargas. I was a kid and loved vargas. Oscar too good though.

 

Tyson Lewis for me. Having not been old enough to remember Tyson of the 80's i was sure he still had it when he fought lewis. He looked in as good a shape as i'd personally seen him after his release from prison so i thought Tyson would have Lewis in all sorts of trouble. When they got in the ring there were security guards supposedly separating them when the ref was giving his instructions, obviously just part of the show but it looked good for the average once a year fan. The rest as they say is history

 

1st for me would be the Trinidad Vs DLH bout. I was a huge fan of both these guys and was so excited for this fight then really pissed at the end cause Oscar blew it!

Vitali Vs Lewis basically because I wanted to see Lewis put him through the canvas.

Tyson Vs Lewis because I was convinced Tyson was gonna whoop him!..I was wrong

Barrera Vs The Prince..kinda self explanatory..I hated Hamed!!

 

Lewis - vk
Moorer - cooper
Hamed - Kelly

 

Bruno - Tyson 1 ...Just wanted Frank to be better than Tyson's other victims and not get ko'd fast.

 

Sanchez-Gomez worked me up the most, followed by Hagler-Hearns and Barrera-Hamed.

 

Awesome to have been old enough to undersand the relevance of the fight. I was 8 watching the thrilla in manila and could feel the intensity sitting around with the grown ups watching the fight.

For me a few fights come to mind.

Mancini Bramble 1/2 I was a fan of Mancini and Bramble took the role of villain with his voodoo stuff and the fight went into deep waters as great fights should.

Tyson-Holyfield rematch this fight confirmed that Tyson though great in his time wasn't the same fighter and I remember when he bit Holy and someone stood up and stated he's done he can't beat him.

Bowe vs Golota I had seen Golota fight but this butt whipping came out of nowhere I thought we were seeing the next great heavyweight champ because Bowe was the real deal and this guy dominated him.
