It's incredible what a loss or two will do to a fighter's stock.Quote:

I seem to remember watching Leonard hagler live ish but that could also be my mind playing tricks on me
Hagler Vs Hearns was the first fight I saw. Made me a fan for life and I can vividly remember being terrified by the way they were staring at each other. It's why I hold it against Floyd for not closing the show or pressing during his fight vs Manny. That was an opportunity to save the sport, repay the sport/fans, and he made it a track meet. Turned off so many potential fans for the future. Hope his next ppv suffers and he is marginalized for it.
No that was a repeat on ITV the next day.Quote:

That is exactly how I would imagine you watching it ;D Not that I know you or anything but I bet you had your first ( non stolen home brew or old mans can) beer, either at the snooker club or the community centre. I used to nick my stepdads home brew but it was pretty rank. Had my first drink from the parents drinks cabinet when they were out, got hammered on Bells. I remember it so well because my step son did the same thing about 12 years ago and rang me and the Mrs when we were at the football and said " Um.. I drunk this bacaradi thing and now I am going to sleep..sorry" Had to laughQuote:

I may be mistaken , but I think Ali v Foreman was live on BBC in the middle of the night and Ali v Spinks 1. And Sportsnight on a Wednesday always used to have live boxing....Bodell v McAlinden, Dave "Boy" Green and loads of Bruno fights! ITV used to have live boxing midweek as well.
