The first fight you watched live on tv and made you a boxing fan?

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!

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)!!!

I really started watching after Magee Hatton I think. After that I started watching old fights and it has deterioated into a madness of pugilism.

Wright - Trinidad for me, that is the fight which got me into boxing and made me a fan. It demonstrated that it truly was an art, not just brute strength and bloodletting.

i cant remember which but its surely a tyson fight.hes a phenom then.dismantling those bigger heavies.i think its the tyson-frazier fight that made me admire the technicalities of boxing.it was always a brawl when its tyson but you have to admire his style.cus d'amato did a great job.his double right uppercut where he switches to southpaw on the second punch was out of this world man

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

[Trainer Monkey]

I actually cried when Ali/Spinks 1 happened

I also nearly cried when Lewis beat Tyson up for 8 rounds Tyson kept coming out round after round taking a beating it did upset me. How emotionally involved these guys make us strange.

I really dont think so,growing up in the 70's or the 60's,Ali was god allmighty,I guess if I had grown up in the 80's it would have been Sugar Ray,Tyson
But in both those decades,boxing was still big time
There really hasnt been a boxer in some time that really captivated the way they did back then,for various reasons.Im not saying there havent been great fights or fighters, but just not that captivate factor.
To put it in perspective, when was the last time you remember a major company hiring a boxer for their ad campaign in the States?
