I think my first fight live on tv was Lloyd Honeyghan vs Don Curry in 1986 my mum used to get me up in the early hours i even remember cutting his picture out of the newspaper on the Monday i used to keep it in my sock drawer. My mum used to get me up for the Tyson fights as well good times

Lol not in a gay way i didn't have a scrap book then but i wanted to keep the picture safe because he was like a hero to me.

My first awareness of the sport is an Ali speech after he was stripped of his title. The first Ali - Quarry Fight is my earliest memory of actually watching a fight. I was quite young, and very awestruck by it all. Watching Teofilo Stevenson put people away in the Olympics also sticks in my mind. For the first few years it was strictly Ali, I don't remember watching any other fights until watching Sugar Ray Leonard in the Olympics. Didn't like him, he was too flashy

I don't remember which fight, but it was probably a muhamad ali fight.

My younger brother liked boxing before I did but aside from Ray Leonard getting publicity, Howard Davis was exciting to me on the '76 Olympic team. Then when Ray turned pro, I enjoyed following his career. That coupled with my mother buying me & my brother the TitleBout boxing game (much to my father's dismay) made me a fan for life.

Tito vs Vargas. i was young and most of my family was going for vargas and i didnt know wat was going on so i picked the enemy which was tito for them. and i was on the couch and in the first round when vargas went down twice i was laughing and everybody was pissed cussing in shit. I became a big fan of tito after that.

1990 was the year I became unconditionally hooked,Chavez/Taylor...A.Davis/Breland....Tyson/Douglas and Network TV fights on weekend afternoons.

But the 1st fight I remember watching more indepth and payed attention to all the details of the sport was JCC vs. Rosario it happened on the day before my b-day and I'll never forget it...

Morales-Barrera, um that was the fight that got me hardcore into it. I had always watched the Tyson fights, Jones fights and Tszyu, my brother's favorite fighter was Tszyu. ANyways, Barrera-Morales was the first day my family got a computer with internet, and I went into a lycos chat room I think lol, but it was about boxing.

But it was that fight then the first fight I really got up for was Tszyu-Judah, been a very steady fan since.

It is surprising i still like boxing as the first fight i watched was Fenech v Nelson I!! After that debacle of a scorecard i should have been put of boxing forever!
