Re: What got you interested in boxing?
Large draw was the individuality of it. I was a baseball junkie prior right down to at ball game stats and score sheets but once I began catching boxing on the weekend afternoons I was hooked. Weird really as early on to follow the sport was to be a bit of a nomad who had search for it. Unfortunately I have zero boxing-family connection and the only tie with Pop and boxing was me "borrowing" some of his blank vhs tapes to record cards. Right after Douglas ko'd Tyson he walked by and knocked on my bedroom wall shouting "how'd ya like that hahaha" ;D. Sure you had random network availability but much of the time we see only the top layer. The story and career line of watching a fighter rise and fall or vice versa is better than any classic Hollywood could rewrite while on the shitter. You 'live' the moment in boxing and that's what makes it so memorable..your spot and era and favorite. For all its ass shat backroom dealings and corruption of convenience, the international depth and life metaphor playing out is great.
