Mine was probably Botha vs. Moorer. But i've seen plenty of boxing highlights before that.

Hagler Leonard, unfortunately I did not agree with the decision, but it's Hagler's fault for letting it get that close

I cant remember exactly which fight it was but the first MEGA fight i went out of my way for to watch live on TV was Jones vs Toney.
The fight that got me 100% hooked was a replay of Hearns vs Hagler i caught while at home sick from school one day.

Same for me! It was Bruno-Tyson II for me tho and I watched it on tape with my family because we didnt have cable TV to watch it live. All I remember from it was my auntie egging on Frank "come on Frank!!" when he was getting hes ass kicked :!:I was 9 aswell.

I was 19 when I saw my first full fight. I had bought a DVD of Ali/Frazier I and was astounded by it. I kept my eyes glued to the screen and even though I knew the outcome well before it was announced, it still was a suspenseful fight

had to be Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed :old
but my first memory of a live fight was Holmes-Norton in 1978 on tv (was 8 y/o)
two years later Duran-Leonard Brawl in Montreal is the first one that I most vividly remember especially being from Montreal...that fight was a real big thing back then...

I remember watching Pryor and Arguello. I doubt it was when it originally happened because I would have only been 2. I was still pretty damn small, but I'm sure it was on one of my dads tapes. he has a pretty good fight collection.
john h stracey beating jose napoles in mexico to win the welterweight title.
it was shown on bbc grandstand and was a huge event in british boxing at the time and is the fight that stands out in my head as my first memory of boxing and i remember sitting around the tv with my brothers and parents to watch that fight.

I remember Ali vs Liston because my dad was so upset that Liston lost. I was around 11 at the time.
The first fight I watched all the way through was Patterson vs Ali I
I do remember watching Sugar Ray Robinson jump rope. The man was amazing with a rope and in the ring.
