The first fight I saw on TV was a John Conteh fight. I just went to boxrecto try and work out which one but can't, it was around 1975 and I always watched any boxing on the three UK TV channels after that. The first fight I saw live was a Billy Hardy fight in Sunderland when I was 17 or 18. I got right into boxing when I was eight or so and trained for a while but had to stop due to family problems. Saw almost all the big UK fights 1991-95 live and a lot of the big American ones 95-2000, but 1991-2006ish I paid no real attention to the sport other than going to fights or watching them on telly so there's a lot I missed. I've got to say that even over the past few years when I have been paying attention I'll forget fights. Fights or fighters get mentioned on here and I'll think who the hell is that, is he any good and I'll check boxrec
and think oh yeah, I've seen his last two fights.
