Great topic. Being honest there’s a fine line between falling in love with it and what initially peaked interest but solid distinction. Memories get fractured and timelines blur but my initial literal first time introduced had to be Rocky I and II as a kid. More ‘adult’ flicks at the time but hey it opened doors. There was a great scene in Cool hand Luke that stood out too. Now fights that got me stuck had to be when we moved to new home on East coast at early teen. Didn’t know anyone, waiting for school to start up and all I remember is doing a endless list of yard work and choirs but taking breaks and running across Wide world of Sports and mid afternoon cards on tv. You literally only had 3 ‘free’ channels in your room in 85, 86 and one mid afternoon completely dedicated to boxing... think about that today 😆. Later Paez v Dorsey, Leonard, Tony Lopez v Molina, Aaron Davis v Breland got my hooked flat out. Pretty sure Tyson and Vinny Pazienza in there.
