My scream woke them up.
I guess it would've shocked me too, as well as disbelief.
Do you have a point? Or are you just babbling.
Bit of both.

An obscure one but came out of nowhere. Mike Rossman's HUGE overhand right on Mike Nixon. It was on the return of "Friday Night Fights."

Definitely Fury Wilder 2. I had money on it for a start, but I was watching it with my brother in law, we were both ratarsed, and every knockdown we were bouncing around the room with joy.

Obviously any big fight I've ever been in the crowd for, you're out of your seat and shouting. It just happens. That's why I'm really missing live boxing with crowds. We had tickets for Joyce-Dubois, and as a Joyce fan (again with money on the fight) I was gutted that I wasn't there to see it, as I would have been going fornicating mental.

Not to fanboy out or anything but I was on my feet whenever Ryan Garcia hit the deck against Campbell. Rooting hard for him to get back up.

He did it. :box:

I really liked Vitali vs Sanders too, granted they were heavyweights and the fights wasn't as dramatic as some of the earlier mentioned fights on this thread. Sanders stunned Vitali , something we haven't seen often in a ring. Great adaptability by Vitali to overcome Corrie convincingly in the end.

Since Benn vs Gerald McClellan I have only got excited during a fight twice. On both occasions it was because a friend was involved. Michael Gomez vs Alex Arthur and when Gomez knocked Amir Khan down.

Cooney v Holmes
