most exciting boxing match you saw live
ANDY HOLLIGAN vs TONY EKUBIA 1. This fight was amazing, still aint seen it on video or youtube but the atmosphere was crazy. gary mason (former british heavyweight champ) was commentating and people were screaming into his microphone and he was loving it, by the last round everyone was going nuts and when the bell went and mickey vann raised Holligans hand there was a ring invasion. cant believe it was over 15 years ago. ive still got the fight poster in the house.

I took my kid brother to London to watch Benn v McClellan.
Despite the tragic end, it is the most exciting fight I ever saw live, anyway.

I forgot to answer/reply to the thread.
I know I've possibly posted this about 100 gazillion times.
I was ringside at Castillo-Corrales I and it is one of those days where I can tell you what I did the day before, the day of the fight and the day after the fight. By FAAAAR the single most amazing fight I will ever see, I know people have been going to watch live boxing for 40, 50 years and not once have they seen a great fight like that. At just 23 I got the chance to witness what is considered the greatest fight ever in the history of boxing.

Re: most exciting boxing match you saw live
I have a few....
Holyfield/Lewis at the Garden was damn exciting...The fight itself was good but the atmosphere of a HW title fight when the two guys are known and respected like Lewis and Holy is hard to describe....one of those you have to be there things to understand.....
DLH/Trinidad...Both guys were top names in the sport at the time and everyone there waited for one to get caught and KO'd......
Tszyu/Judah----I went to this one just to see the return of Kostya and what followed was like the biggest bonus you counld ever get...like finding a REAL diamond in the cracker Jack box lol...
Countless Tyson bouts....Each one is exciting in itself one way or another

Re: most exciting boxing match you saw live
My Favourite fight ringside was Lewis vs Botha but the most exciting had to be Thompson vs Sellers . 6 knockdowns in 4 rounds . Edge of the seat . Great fight between chinny bangers !

Mesi-Izon
Wasn't the most exciting fight in the world by any means.
Just the onliest one I've seen live, so by definition the most exciting one I've seen live.
Re: most exciting boxing match you saw live
I've been to a few big fights, but the were usually pretty one-sided.
Believe it or not, the most "exciting," fight I've probably been to was.............
Paez vs. Dorsey II
Not the biggest, by far. But probably the most exciting live.
Paez's showboating went out of control at one point, even-though the fight ended in a draw.
