I'm half Cuban so boxing was HUGE on my mothers side of the family. My dad was really into boxing also, so we would have people over for all of the big fights. I never paid much attention because I would play w my friends/cousins, until I happened to be walking by the t.v. and saw the in ring preflight instructions/stare down for Hagler-Hearns. I was terrified/mesmerized and I don't think I blinked once during that whole fight. From that moment on (I was ten at the time) I was hooked.
