Your most intense experience watching a fight live?

I always feel most tense and gitty as the fighters are walking to the ring.

 

Michael Spinks versus Dwight Muhammad Qawi Braxton. As a young kid I was a big Sugar Leonard fan and fan of the Gold medal fighters and I was also a big Michael Spinks fan and I was terrified he could lose, but he won. I was lucky that dad was a fight fan.

 

without a doubt Jones/Griffin 2. I was about 15 rows back at Foxwoods Casino. You could literally feel the punch that knocked Griffin out.

 

Bute-Froch for me, I'll never forget that fight lol.

 

The Wilder bout vs AJ would be more exciting than AJ vs Fury while it lasted, Fury simply stands at long range and sticks a jab in, the fight with AJ would be like the Wlad fight with Fury with not much being landed by either man, I feel Fury will have trouble hitting AJ because his glove control and guard are good plus he does a half skip backwards to avoid shots so it would be a chess match, Wilder v AJ will be simply who lands first my money is on the much more polished AJ but it will be tense until he does, I think the most exciting thing about the fight with Fury will be the press conference I feel Fury`s trash talking will bring out aggression in AJ that I`ve seen once on youtube and I`ll tell you this Fury will realise this guy is a lot more intimidating than Frank Bruno.

 

Actually many Froch fights now that I think about it, for whatever reason I was never a big fan of him whilst he was active but looking back, man dude had so many great fights.

 

AJ v Wlad was awesome! Leonard v Hagler was a huge event but I knew the result before I watched it the following day after they fought on British TV. Tyson v Holy was fantastic, even Tyson said the hype for that fight was over extensive! Plus in Britain on sky TV it was part of a huge British card that had Nigel Benn fighting Steve Collins. Lewis vs Bruno was terrific, both fighters fought really badly but it was tense because I liked Lewis much more than Bruno who was overrated compared to Lewis even at this point so I wanted Lewis to prove to my friends who were huge Bruno fans and the annoying British public that Bruno was a fraud compared to Lewis and the ending was great.

 

In terms of emotion, JMM Pacquiao IV

Castillo Corrales had me screaming the house down

 

There are a few times when the feeling got really intense and shaken me to the core, but it usually settle after round 1.
Tyson Holy 2.
I'm a Tyson fan and I was worried that he can't overcome the first knockout and he can't.
Tszyu Judah.
Watching in Aussie pub, I know Judah is super fast and Philips lost was playing in my mind before the bell rang.
Hopkins Oscar.
I've seen all oscars fights prior to this and a big fan, I thought Hopkins is too big and the way Oscar ran away from Tito I thought this will end ugly and it did.

 

Tension and intensity comes with a true 50:50 . This year GGG and Canelo did it for me. Two true elite fighters and both punchers. Fight was very good, and just spoilt by one idiotic /corrupt judge.

 

I don’t consider television “live.”

For me, “live” — as in there in person — nothing has topped Holyfield-Qawi I. A true 15-round war.

 

I had an orgasmic feeling when Kovalev dropped Ward in their first fight, but I went Flaccid when the cards were announced at the end.

 

when i was younger i followed mcguigan and his fight with pedroza at QPR ground was nervewracking and great at the same time
the build up was all day we were there on the green about 7 hours before fight time

biggest disapointment in boxing i ever had was barry losing to cruz
i stopped watching boxing for a few months / stopped reading Boxing news/the ring etcetc

biggest fight before that for me was cooney v holmes / it was huge in its pre fight hype / my family being irish and all loving boxing were all pulling for cooney

actually only listened to it live on the radio / there was no live tv in the uk / remember 3 brothers and my mum listening.

now at my age sadly you look forward and enjoy fights but you do not get attached and live and breathe a favourite fighters every win or loss.
