    Well I am 22 years old now. I began watching boxing with my Dad when I was about 12. I believe the first fight I watched and really paid attention to was Holyfield vs. Lewis II. Then Mosley vs. Delahoya and so on.

    On TV I've watched easily over 1,000 fights, probably around 1,500. I watch all that I can be it, ESPN 2, Showbox, FSN, HDNET, and HBO and PPV.

    Yes I've really been in a gym and done more than hit a heavy bag. lol

    I first learned to box properly from a boxing trainer who himself had 80 amatuer fights and was 13th in the nation and #1 in the state of California at one time.

    Since then I've boxed and trained for 2 years at the MMA gym in my town because that is the only fighting gym we have.

    I've sparred hundreds of rounds, with anyone who would spar me, including pro MMA fighters.

    As far as fights go I have had 3 "smokers" which are unofficial amatuer boxing matches with 16 oz gloves and headgear and only 3, 2 min rounds.

    Two of my opponents were pro MMA fighters. The first outweighed me by a good 25 lbs of muscle and that was a hell of a fight that I am very proud of. lol

    And I get all my boxing news from here, ESPN 2, and Yahoo sports.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
