I can't pick a single fight for fights that I've seen. I can tell you that I became a boxing fan from watching replays on weekend afternoons on network television. Fights like Hagler/Antuefermo, Leornard/Duran 1 & 2, numerous Larry Holmes fights, Ray Mancini, Arguello, Benitez., Hearns. Even Tyson fights made it to network TV at that time.
I didn't watch fights live until the Tyson era. I didn't live with my Dad so I couldn't order PPV and nobody in my house would watch HBO fights live. I could pick them up on replays. When I got older, I would go to my dad's and watch fights at his house. I think the first PPV fight I saw was Tyson/Ruddock 1 with my Dad, but The first GREAT fight I saw live, on PPV, was Holyfield/Bowe.
I remember my dad thinking at first that Bowe hadn't done enough to 'take' the title and I told him that he was crazy, Evander won clearly. Then he saw Evander's face in the post fight interview and changed his mind. He didn't know how to score a fight![]()
