Do your friends like boxing?

[superheavyrhun]

My friends will go to watch a big boxing show, if we go in the cheap seats, to see Calzaghe or Maccarinelli, but whenever I start talking about american fights, or British boxers that aren't world champions then i see that their eyes glaze over, and that's the reason I ended up on this little forum, spitting opinions like they were orange seeds.

Nope, all my friends think im wierd because of my blind following to boxing. But forget them, i kinda enjoy being the only one in my group who likes this sport. Gives me personality

Unfortunately nobody.
Was brought up boxing all my life, from recording the big fights for my dad who worked evenings. When the big fights were on SKY i would go with him to his mates places where a few would gather to watch the big fight in the early hours of the morning. There would be a big help yourself dinner on the table, everyone boozing and giving their authority on the upcoming fight or dissecting a previous fight. Inevitably people were up out of their seats visually demonstrating their points and arguements got heated. I was the only kid there and they used to tell me about the old days when they were single and worked together, and how they used to all go to the cinema together to watch the big fights and listen on the radio. The highlight was me putting on the gloves and hitting various palms (at 8/9 with about 8 coaches all giving advise at the same time). Those were great times, these guys lived boxing and had a great laugh. I can only imagine the evening if the forum members got together to watch a fight and had a few beers. It would be hilarious. Now the only person who I can have a decent discussion about boxing with is my brother and you guys.
Occasionally I run into someone who claims he is a "boxing fan" and how he watched a recent fight. I get all excited and go on for about 15 mins about the fight, fighter, style, competition etc and then see's that the guy doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about! The false hope is killing me.
What good is there watching a great fight without someone else knowledgeable to talk to. I've tried watching it with mates, but they drive me crazy saying things like "that guy will win because he's bigger" or "he should just punch him in the face!?!" Trying to explain the intricacies of boxing to a layperson is a nightmare. I wish I could find "gang" like my dad had!!
(But I have a secret plan in motion........)

I have some friends that are casually into it.

One of them actually asked me if I was going to get the Pikachu fight this weekend.

I'm sure he meant well.

I know exactly what you mean... I hate coming across "Boxing fans"... False hope was the perfect phrase... A relitives new boyfriend came to a family party and started talking about the HWDiv. I was like, wow I have someone to talk to... Then he began to say things like "that giant guy" and "the russian"....Whhich one??
My heart sank and I went back to discussing football with my brother in law...

lol...my ex-girlfriend asked me once, "Are you gonna watch your boxing show game tonight?.. Cuz I'm going out"

[jbirdy]

one of my best mates is really into his boxing now (but only cos i've been raping it upon him for years and making him hold the pads for me and getting him into scraps). but most of my mates are into there sports anyways and will always watch the big fights (but only the major fights really, or fights that i promise em will be good). but whenever hatton fights we usualy have a lock in and there will be shit loads of us there. electric stuff.

Nope not a Gotdam one its pathetic......

My step father kinda but likes to watch more than talk about it.....I used to call my parents up and ask him if he was oredering the PPv's then he would order but the poor bastage would fall asleep...I fealt bad but S***, saved my azz 50 beans...then he caught on and my azz is shelling out at least $100 a month...But Fuk it, I love it

I used to invite my friends over but like someone posted earlier they just talk incessently about what chic there banging and dumb Shite like that all the while I'm glued to the tube yelling SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

needless to say I am solo for the big fights and I'm quite content with that.....

I got you Fukers to talk shop with and am very pleased to do so........
