    Nothing like live boxing, especially with a group of mates, a great experience. Zayas looks the goods so far. Pity Matias slipped up with his training. PR has some decent upcoming talent, guys like Orlando Gonzalez-Ruiz and Henry Lebron-Gonzalez are worth keeping an eye on.

    I was surprised about Matias. He's got the raw talent to go very far. Let's hope he gets his head together. Still think maybe the Dadashev incident may still be affecting him.

    That is awesome stuff bud. To have a local base and following at home really brings to light a fight night atmosphere which is quite unique. Last "card" I saw was a gaggle of locals at one of the many festivals here where $10 got you a picnic bench and a sub par draft . I could really kick myself for missing Regis Prograis when he had two in a row out at the Lakefront but it was a rough time. Hopefully he comes back locally he had the media blowing up.

    I'm actually pretty fortunate because PR is a small island and if there's a boxing event out there, it's always within driving distance. Also, we have enough of a local boxing scene that there is always something going on. It's just me..... I've been kinda lazy in recent years and haven't "gotten the masses together" to go watch an event. Then when I go I always say... "Damn, we should do this more often!"

    I was very pleasantly surprised here because I'd never been to that particular venue, and found that it was small and cozy, which means no bad seats. We paid $20/ticket for general admission, and yet the ring was super close. In fact I found that our seats were vastly superior to the ringside seats that were going for $40 each. Still not a major outlay, but for the price we got a lot better value from our seats.

    Two alternating ring card girls, which seems to be the norm... ..... and as usual one of them got louder cheers than the other. I was able to see JuanMa Lopez and Luvi Callejas in their ringside seats, so that was cool also. The beer was nice and cold (Tecate)..... the drinks were good..... nothing to complain about, really.

    I can't do that often because I have quite a distance to travel, but in Japan local support is always very loyal. I like to observe live actions, the atmosphere is secondary to me

    Live boxing is a drug; I've seen many people that had no interest going in leave starry eyed.
    I have seen fight from nosebleed seats, from lower seat, 3rd row and ringside. The closer the better. Nothing beats standing on the ring apron.

    live cards are the best
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Live is good only if you have good seat. Most people after 20th row start watching the big screen.

    It is like a drug and yes nothing better than being ringside. I am lucky to have knelt with my elbows on the canvas for a few years now and I miss it in the gaps between shows. Made a lot of great friends through boxing and I get to see everything from the ring being put up, fighters bring gloved, to the post fight dressing room celebrations/commiserations and the ring being dismantled. I get to talk to and see fighters and their teams at their highest and lowest, after winning/losing titles and being on both side of brutal Ko's and stppages/dodgy decisions.

    Next out in April and it can't come fast enough.

    We were off to the left of the camera angle. Maybe 40-50 feet away at most and a perfect viewing angle.

    Only glitch was the video cameraman standing just outside the ropes. Next time we'll choose seats taking that in mind.
