Thread: Best fight you have been to?

Just wondering which fights you guys have seen live and which was the best for atmosphere, great quality bout etc??

I would say 'the full monty' was my first boxing event and it had the great bout between calzaghe v eubank and also naseem v jose badillo.

I also enjoyed the april 98 manchester card featuring nassem v Wilfredo Vazquez, herbie hide v damien reid +eubank v Carl Thompson

Hatton vs. Tszyu probably

Morales Pacuqiao

Best- Pavlik vs Taylor I

Worst- Klitschko vs Ibragimov

Calzaghe Kessler was a wicked night...more like a football match though

Juan Diaz vs. Acelino Freitas

Probably Bika v Condrington. Something about getting paid extra for winning brings out a good fight.

I didnt think the atmosphere was that good i thought every1 was a bit up tight cause Joe kept getting caught.But it was a great fight.

Calzaghe v Lacy was good.

For me the best i've been to was Hatton - Mayweather that was brilliant just a shame he got beat.

Must admit to being a complete arm chair fan.

Went to haye-bonin a few years back and got about a minute and a half of action before the fight was all over.

Am going to the hatton homecoming though and cannot wait

The atmosphere at Hattons fights are brilliant you will be hard pushed to find better at a boxing match.

I'd say the best I've been to was Tarver vs Jones III.The crowd was very crazy but nice if you get me unlike an Eagles football game were everyone yell's at a little kid for wearing a Troy Aikman jersey.

Well I don't have just 1, I have several I've been VERY lucky and fortunate to attend some special events.
In no particular order.


Chico vs. Castillo I - Sitting ringside for possibly THE GREATEST fight in the history of boxing to date. I'll carry that entire story of how I got the tickets all the way to watching the replay a few days later. That night I met Lacy, Winky, BCD, JCC Sr., JCC Jr., SSM, Toney, JMM, Beristain. Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong & Mexican actor Diego Luna.

RMarquez vs. Vasquez I - Sitting ringside for a candidate for FOTY 2007. My girl and I made the short trip to Carson. What a fight and what a night. Watching Vasquez drop Marquez and Marquez shaking it off and coming back on him. Then watching Marquez comeback and stop Vasquez. That night I met Erik, Floyd Sr., Julio Diaz, Bobby Chacon, Giovanni Segura. I also met Goldberg & Mario Lopez and his dancing girl.

RMarquez vs. Vasquez III - I would say sitting ringside but I broke the damn! chair so I couldn't sit down.... But it was electrifying there the atmosphere the celebs ringside the fight. It was just amazing to see and I can say I've been able to live out some events that not many people get to see and I'm thankful for it.

One fight that I really enjoyed that wasn't as spectacular as the others but def. was insane to be ringside for was:

Williams vs. Quintana - The upset special and Quintana kicked some ass. He was beating Paul from one side to the other. The chants and cheers were crazy. As the fight went on I kept telling myself, he's gonna beat 'em he's gonna beat 'em... and he did...

Sadly enough, the closest I've come to seeing a live fight is watching sparring at the gym. There are almost never any decent fights around here. I was really disappointed when the Pacman fight in Vancouver fell through, I was ready to shell out some serious coin to see that.

Marco Antonio Barrera-Kennedy Mckinney.

I saw Pacquiao-Marquez 1 live.

We were yelling "TAPOSIN MO NA!.. TAPOSIN MO NA!".
