These days I set the alarm, go to bed around nine, wake up and watch it live, then maybe have a few more hours kip if it's a fight I'm looking forward to. If it's one I want to see but aren't that bothered about I just record and watch in the morning. I don't know why the latter means a bit less, (I've never had the result spoiled.) Just a daft thing about wanting to watch it live. :lol:

Like some have said, I've stayed up for Mayweather fights wanting him to lose and inevitably regretted watching him stink his way to a stress-free win.
That’s so true. It just feels wrong watching a fight that you recorded even if it’s only a few hours old.

Tyson vs McBride - that was just sad. Never seen a Tyson just look so much like he didn't want to be there from the off. From the ring walk, he just look haunted.

I never stayed up for a Mike Tyson fight, not even as I got older as by then he was just a freak show.

Agreed. He was a stinker in almost every fight. He sure did give pavlik a kicking though.

Loma/Rigo.. let's admit there was not much in the fight.. and then a disappointing ending..

Saunders/Lemieux - i don't fully regret it.. but i would have liked more action..

Shortly before I left the UK I stayed up to listen to Henry Akinwande v Scott Welch on a stacked bill in Tennessee which also had Kevin Lueshing challenging Felix Trinidad (I'd convinced myself he had a chance :D ).

BBC Radio had the bout commentary. It wasn't pretty :lol:

The only Bradley fight I watched live was vs. Pacman (1st fight).. never again. Didn't like his style and ofcourse, I thought he lost..

De La Hoya v Trinidad was an extreme disappointment. Was expecting/hoping for fireworks. It was a good display of boxing from Oscar for most of the fight but the fight never really got going.
I didn’t think Trinidad won it.

Unless I'm on the nose candy which isn't often anymore I'll just record whatever's on and watch it on Sunday morning with breakfast and coffee! Quite enjoy that.

Ricky Hatton v Pac
Lewis v rahman
I actually predicted Lewis getting stopped by Rahman as he was getting very complacent, away filming some shite movie, while Rahman was training at altitude in South Africa.

I told mates to bet on it but they didn't & I was away at sea so wasn't able to.

Proudest moment of my life :lol:

I remember staying up to listen to that card. The Trindad v Lueshing one was quite exciting while it lasted.

Last year the only two I stayed up for were Crawford v Indongo (because of the four belt unification) and Golovkin v Alvarez and I don't think I had done so for any in the past few years.

Bit of a personal one but Jack-DeGale last year.
My grandad had passed two days before and his claim to fame was getting a win at the felt forum (MSG Basement).
This was at Barclays Center and it had loads of exterior shots of New York.
Mind wandered of his story’s of the greats of New York boxing.
I paid little attention to the fight of the year I’d stayed up for and whenever I hear the fight get mentioned the first memory I have is of my Grandad and his Jack Dempsey story’s.

Next fight i'm guaranteed to stay awake for is Spence vs. Peterson. Is it even on Sky?

I doubt i'll regret that one.
