The fight that first hooked you on boxing....

[yoitsdan]

As a kid I grew up watching Euabank, Benn and Watson on ITV....I was hooked from that moment on...

Same here mate, also Jimmy 'Shea' Neary and Frank Bruno, they are the first guys I remember watching. ITV used to cover boxing really well, my memories of those days are fond indeed.

It's a cross ...aye!?

I remember the old ABC days, where guys used to get koed real brutal like...
That and the Tyson vs Spinks match.
After that I was hooked!

Not a fight.. 1 man.. John Ruiz

Haha me too!

I do remember being about 6 years old when Bruno and Tyson were about to sqaure off for the 1st time.
Of course Bruno was a big celebrity plus he used to train round the corner to me 9and sign aurographs at my local market) so i was aware of boxing back then too.

julio cesar chavez vs. meldrick taylor
2 seconds left and the fight was stopped
and dont forget tyson vs. holyfield 2 - that really hooked me up
the controversies actually made me a fan
i thought boxing is just like any other combat sport
but im wrong, you wouldnt see someone in any other sport
biting-off his opponents ear?
not even in UFC
