Do your friends like boxing?

[The Boxer]

if i had more friends that were in to boxing i wouldn't be on here that much. they'd rather watch that corny WWE shit

[global]

I have a friend who constantly says he wants to be a fighter and hits his bag hours a day, but somehow cant throw a punch properly, he'll at least watch fights over here but he doesn't really pay that much attention to all that is going on. My house has become a bit of a squatters situation though and I have control of the remote so all friends are force fed boxing.

Some do some don't but none follow it like I do...For me boxing is more of a lfestyle....Kind of like Wacko has his theater to watch his fights I have my shrine....
A room in the basement I watch fights on tape and dvd and have all my memorbilia and stuff.....
I can't get enough of the damn sport or like many this website....I mean I have some knowledgeable friends (about the sport)...No one like you guys....We get into our game here...sometimes to the point we actually argue like the disagreements were personal lol...That is only because most people don't have the passion for the game like us...
So like I said I get into some good conversations and debates with my boxing fan friends but come here for my hardcore fix on the game...Damn it I sound like I am headed for a 28 day program when I put it like that lol

outside the gym not many. I have Doctor and Attorney friends that think its fashionable to be associated with a Prizefighter, but they know shit about the sport.. outside the gym I get my boxing gossip fix from you guys .. I hear lots of stuff for the first time right here on Saddo, I Love it !

no offence but you'd have to get that itch fixed before i'd hang around for a Mayweather post fight interveiw with ya mate

I do not associate with anyone who does not watch boxing or is not involved in boxing in one way or another.

[fightinfireman]

there's really only one person outside my gym that I can talk to about boxing

ESPN doesnt do much for boxing, so I don't blame america for not following boxing that much anymore. it takes effort to be a boxing fan these days and thats one of the things thats endearing about it, at least I think so!

I did see that the mayweather/de la hoya and pacquiao/morales got a whole half a page together in USA today's sports section, though

I wish I had a friend who was in to boxing. (that sounds pretty gay, but I am serious. I hate having to come to the internet to talk about boxing. I wish it were mainstream like football, where any dude you ran into could hold a pretty good discussion. )

Honestly...it doesn't sound gay at all.

The thing is...I like it the way it is...it's almost...dare I say...our own little niche in the sports world?

Its certainly a niche, thats why you gots to pay $50 to watch a fight, or $500 for a good seat!

LMFAO !

[Slacker]

Man, I can't talk to anyone about boxing it's pretty lame. Only guys i can talk to are the guys in my gym. I talk to my trainers and stuff about fights that are coming up. But outside of that it's pretty bland people don't know anyone besides the huge mainstream names like De La Hoya and Tyson. It's a shame it really is how nobody follows such a great sport.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

The only guys I can talk to are the guys @ my barbershop. Thats only once a month. Balletto and Spina go to the barbershop(Manfredo Sr. goes there too... I see him the most ) I swear.... Sucks!! Guido(my barber) is the only other person I know that can hold an intelligent boxing conversation

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I have a few mates who get together whenever there's a big fight is on sky.

The thing is they only know a few British fighters... Vitali Klitschko... TYSON! Oh and Mayweather (not by name though, he's known as "the proper fast bloke who matrixes every punch")

When ever a fights on, one mate (the one with Sky ) phones me up to ask who these guys are and are they any good.

So far theyv'e seen Lacy get his ass handed to him. Tzsyu fight like a 45 year old. Tyson get completely emasculated buy Lewis AND Williams and then the same with Williams and Klitschko.... Plus a few other club fighters fighting at the Elephant and Castle.








They much preffer UFC

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I can't hate on the UFC as I won't do that to any sport but I just cant get into it... Something more majestic about boxing... The history... The nastalgia, I guess

[Wadeb_21]

Man, not one of my friends like boxing. Its funny because whenever they ask me to go out when theres a fight on I'm like na man I can't tonight I'm watching the fight, then they will ask who's fighting and they never usually know who either one of them is, except PBF and Oscar. I think the only time they will watch a fight is if I'm going to the Wing House (its kinda like hooters but the woman are hotter and what they wear is better) so they can look at the girls.

[RozzySean]

I have a few friends that watch it. Luckily, I have a girlfriend that actually enjoys boxing. She used to train a little, so she understands the principles and gets into it. She even likes to play Fight Night 3 with me. How cool is it that I get to watch Pacman v Morales tomorrow and still get some that night...
