I posted this thread in Other Sports & jotted out a bunch of tunes synonymous for me with our (un)fair sport. Couldn't be bothered writing them a second time, but which songs & musical pieces for you are instantly associable with Boxing?

Fight The Good Fight- Triumph
We requested from a radio station after I spent a couple minutes convincing the DJ that I wasn't lying about Buster Douglas knocking out Tyson. The premise can be applied anyway, but that accentuates it for me.

"Help Me Make It Through The Night" from "Fat City" (1972). Best boxing movie ever I think.

BarryWashington wrote:"Black & Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa. Why? It's the entrance song Paul Williams came out to in his second fight with Sergio Gabriel Martinez.
Should've used, "Black & Blue" for his exit song...

For some reason, I think of boxing sometimes when I listen to one of my all-time favorites, Howlin' Wolf, singing
"Smokestack Lightnin'."

When Livingstone Bramble had a training camp set up in Whitefish, MT, it was a song he always started his warm up with.

The Final Countdown by Europe. It was used in all the build up and TV previews for Hagler v Leonard. I cant even stand listening to it as Hagler was my all time hero and I was almost suicidal when he lost!

Appropriate or not it is a song I identify with boxing. It does get a good atmosphere going aswell.
