I remember The first time I sat down and tried to score a fight & watch closley.... I believe it was Louie Espinoza/Jorge Paez 1,And I wanted Espinoza to KO Paez so badly Lol.

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

Well I was fan before I watched any fights on TV.

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!

[Otley]

I cannot remember because I have watched so many.....thinking really hard I do remember watching one of Barry McGuigan fights when I was really young. But watching Muhammed Ali & Mike Tyson fight's really got me hooked.


Job Biscuit (What a great question)!!!

Ali/Spinks 1 was my first real fight I ever seen because my Father was such a huge fan,,,Was not really sure of what went on but just my Dada was upset over it...The rematch made me a fan...Again not too sure about what went on at the time but I knew Ali won it made my Dad happy so I was happy...from then on I was hooked

Ahh mate it was crazy i remember all my family coming round to watch it, it was like Godzilla vs King Kong at the time for me. I remember mostly everyone thinking Mike Tyson would win the hype was crazy.

What a great night it was though i remember people jumping up and down, shouting you name it. I was just in awe at the exchanges, heart, will, skill. I had seen nothing like it before, and that fight made me a fan for life. And after that i would get my grandad to tell me all his stories about his boxing days and etc.

Wow you remember it in some detail. How old were you in 96? That fight was on early hours of the morning right? Sounds like a right family knees up.

First fight I can remember wasnt live but I went to me nans to watch a repeat of Bruno Witherspoon. Some twat told me what happened before it started, felt gutted.
