I had always kind of liked boxing as a side sport, but never really got into any weights other than heavyweight.. I was pretty much a casual fan that enjoyed watching it whenever it was on TV...

I joined this forum to get tips because I was starting to do a little bit of boxing myself,,,, and this fight had just happened around the time I joined her.. I heard constant chatter about how great it was, so it was the first fight I downloaded and after watching it I was completely and utterly hooked on the pugilistic arts... What a fight for anything I watch after that to live up to...

You couldn't ask for anything more from two fighters in the ring, and that has really set the standard for what boxing means to me at it's purest form...

However my favorite fight of all time will always be MAB vs Morales 1... I loved both of those fighters and that was the most spectacular fight that you could image.. 12 rounds of just unbelievable action.. You could almost say at least 10 of those rounds were as good as any round you could see... Just amazing... When you thought one fighter was getting the upper hand for the 100th time, the other would come back off the ropes and rip into the other...

Those 2 fights were the first ones I will make a casual fan watch to try to turn them into a really admirer... But I honestly don't think they realise how special those fights were and don't really get that excited about them...

A few fights like that a year, on that scale, and you could almost say boxing will never die..
