What fights made you the most tense / anxious beforehand?

[DIRT SUGAR]

Takaloo's fights. Trained him for a few of his last amateur fights so always wanted him to do well. Night he beat Farnell was as breathtakingly exciting as the losses to Santos and Alexander were gutting (why did he just not take his time instead of going after him!).

Otherwise, Benn vs McClellan. Never been to a fight like it for sheer 'cut the atmosphere with a knife' before and during it and the sheer intensity of the drama that played out between the ropes is something I'll never forget. All that noise from the crowd but you could still hear both fighters' boots gripping the canvas and McLellan's punches made a thud and splat noise I could hear about 75 feet from the ring. Nothing's come close since and I don't think it will ever again. I went up and bought the last T-shirt from the merchandise stand and the girl serving couldn't believe how 'everyone's hands are shaking!'
