BoxRec

Just interested in other folks introduction to boxing and how it has affected your life ? I was 16 when i chanced across the start of a boxing show on the b/w telly in my bedroom, what i watched that night absolutley mesmerised me and every boxer on the planet instantly became my hero,I can actually remember not sleeping that night just kept replaying the fight over in my mind, 2 days later on my own i nervously walked into my local amateur club and just knew that this was for me ( bear in mind i was 8 stone dripping wet at this point). Over the next few years i had 30 odd amateur bouts,7 pro fights and had rubbed shoulders with the good and the great of the boxing world and while my own career didnt go quite as planned the memories and experiences i had i consider priceless. these days i am a complete boxing geek often labeled by my wife and friends as obsessed with boxing, well that sits fine with me i love everything about this crazy sport the highs as well as the lows. Oh and the fight i watched ?.....benn v watson!
