Your happiest and saddest boxing moments?

Pac/Hatton was my happiest because I was there live and surrounded by Brits. They all knew I was a Pacquiao fan and wanted to kick my **** in. Once Hatton was KTFO...they were in complete silence and they shook my hand...as if I was Pacquiao's representative and ****.


Cotto/Marg was my worst night as a boxing fan. I was just so certain that Cotto would win. And was talking all sorts of mad **** during the first 6 rounds. Then when he started wobbling and backpedaling and taking shot after shot with my VERY mexican family talking mad **** to me...and then watching him take a knee while everyone called him "pinche quitting ass puto"...I couldnt do anything. I had to take it. Terrible night for me to say the least. Didnt get over it until a week later.

 

I always feel bad for the fighters when they get hit with an embarrassing defeat. I knew how hard Hatton was going to take life after getting knocked out clean by Pacquiao in 2 rounds.. That was probably like dying for him.

 

You have no idea how much **** I was talking in the first 6 though...I ate some SERIOUS crow when it was on the down end of the fight. And just watching him take that knee...**** my life. That was it man. I felt like I PERSONALLY just took a knee.

A large majority though gave credit to Cotto for putting up a good scrap and were just amazed how many punches Margarito took to win it.

It was mainly my uncle and his friend that rubbed it in the most.

 

One fight that I actually found hard watching was my favorite Aussie fighter at the time Nedal Hussein getting mugged by a Japanese bloke named Takashi Uchiyama.

Skinny was stopped for the first time in his career and was badly dominated..Thats hard to watch when a fighter you have followed from pre-prime to prime, has slipped so far.

I knew that was it when the towel came in..not just the fight but his career..as he had been pondering retirement for some time and was essentially semi-retired from elite boxing.

And it was hard because I knew if things have fallen differently he could have done better...He could have been a champ..He was as good as so many guys who held versions of the title from 122-126 when he was fighting there...Though there is something hollow knowing he would have won it against quite possibly a paper champ, for him to have a world title to show after years of toil would have been really great.

Seeing him get bashed by a guy with only 7 pro fights wasnt pleasent and I havent watched it since.

 

That sounds ****ed up man :verysad

 

the hatton-tszyu fight was one of my more happier moments as a fan......people I talked to at the time, where like hatton who?....and came in as a severe underdog against tszyu, I remember after round 8, I was like wow this kid came out of nowhere....

the mayweather-hatton fight was more of a downer moments, ricky really felt he was going to beat the **** out of mayweather, you could just see it when he came out.....but didnt pan out that way....

corrales interview after the floyd fight was pretty down too.....

recently maidana ortiz was a happy moment

 

Hopkins schooling Pavlik was one of the happiest. I was at the fight, which was pro Pavlik, with this guy in front talking big time **** while his drunk mate slept next to him. He left after about round 8.

One of the saddest was Gomez finishing off Gatti with that horrible punch where his whole body went limp.

 

Pac-Hatton was a very happy one, especially as a lot of people said to me afterwards 'you were right about Hatton all along, and I was wrong'.

 

Sounds more like a fantasy to me Sweaty.

 

Happiest:- Tszyu bouncing Judah up and down.

Saddest:- Tyson getting beat off Lewis.

 

hbo's dedication to arguello, forrest, and gatti ripped my guts out, my wife's too. But the loss of gatti in general has me still upset.

If you look at my profile, gatti (and jmm) is my favorite fighter, which I put when I first joined eastside. But gatti has been my favorite boxer since I fell in love with this sport.

My happiest moment, that i can think of right now anyway, watching jmm ko diaz was pretty awesome for me.

 

Saddest: Steve Collins beating Eubank the 1st time, i was completely distraught. Loved Eubank.

Happiest: Ricky Hatton beating Kostya Tzuzu: I just felt, He has arrived...

 

saddest: COTTO vs Margo, TITO vs B-hop, then to Roy

happiest: Hatton vs Pac, and vs PBF,
