I don't mind admiting that I'm one of the least knowledgeable posters on here. I've always had a passing interest in Boxing as it's in the family but never really followed it like I did football. I just used big fights as an excuse to go away somewhere cool like Vegas etc. Then as my interest in cars & car Forums (Supras ) declined I started spending more time on this board.

Since then I've become quite an avid fan. I go to plenty of live boxing (got tix for the upcoming Haye bout) and watch as much as I can on TV. Like Youngblood I barely knew who Pac and PBF were when I first joined. It took me months just to figure out who people were on about when the said 'PBF'

Just from spending time on this board and not having a clue what people are arguing about has inspired me to go down the gym. I'm 30 years old and have no illusions of what I can achieve but figured learning to box would at the very least give me a better understanding of the sport I now love (and help with the ever expanding waistline).

It's this very forum that has fuelled my interest in a sport I previously didn't really care for...
