what is the best fight card you have seen live? im just curious about experiences of the posters in here

The best one I went to was a stacked card promoted by Don King in 2009 in Florida. Joseph Agbeko beat Vic Darchinyan by decision to win the IBF bantamweight title. Also on the card, Antonio DeMarco beat Anges Adjaho and Steve Cunningham beat Wayne Braithwaite. That had the best talent overall of the ones I've seen live. There were a few other events I have been to that were entertaining too, but not with the same level of talent.

the best card i attended was Glowacki vs Usyk, that card included WBC female super welterweight fight Piatkowska vs Magdziak Lopes (though i dont really care about femenine boxing) and fights of prospects like super welter Patryk Szymanski (now 18-0 9 KO), CW Michal Cieslak (now 14-0 10 KO) and LHW Pawel Stepien (now 6-0 5 KO). also Wawrzyk vs Sosnowski on that card.

next one is the Vitali vs Adamek card with an attendance of about 42000 people on a football stadium, this card included Masternak, Afolabi, Banks, Sadam Ali, Wawrzyk.

I've only ever seen 1 card live, and frankly if I saw a 2nd one live no matter what it was there's a solid chance it could top the one I saw.

I much prefer Boxing on TV, but I guess the best card I went to was Margarito/Clottey & Cotto/Quintana.

Best Fight: probably Joshua v Klitchko
Best Card: Magnificent 7 in Birmingham
Other very good events: Calzaghe v Kessler in Cardiff was a fantastic spectacle and a decent fight, Haye v Chisora at Upton Park was entertaining considering the Hype, and I will always have a soft spot for Audley Harrison v Michael Sprott at Alexandra Palace - he lost almost every round and then won by KO late on.

Pac man v Marquez 1.

Danny Williams one-armed KO of Mark Potter at Wembley Conference Centre, simply for the amazing bravery and unprecedented nature of the victory. Hatton won (or defended) the British against Jon Thaxton as well...

HEARNS VS LEONARD I & COONEY VS HOLMES

Haye Chisora at Upton Park was a lot of fun. I seem to recall the Froch vs Kessler rematch was very exciting with a good bunch in the crowd. Froch Groves 2 was of course very memorable because of the sheer size of the event (since upstaged by Joshua-Klitschko which I was unable to get tickets for ) and an honourable mention should go to Groves-Degale which felt like a barnstormer at the time (even though rewatching the fight years later it is not that exciting) because it's the only time I ever watched a big card ringside (procured free by a connected friend) but I think the only decent thing on that undercard was Tyson Fury stripping to the waist and challenging Dereck Chisora about 100 feet away from us.

I went to Froch Kessler 2 - from what I remember the undercard wasn't great - but the main event was excellent.
I also saw Groves Degale at the 02...also one of my favourite fights! I think the fact it was genuinely close throughout and all the needle before made it an absolute nail bitter.
I know what you mean about ringside...my brother got me VIP seat for Bellew Clev 2. The event was decent anyway...but unforgettable being that close to the action. Mario Balotelli was there and trod on my foot squeezing past to get to his seat!

I couldn't remember so I had a google and the chief support was Bellew Chillemba rematch and Groves vs a lad he ended up KOing. Neither was a great fight but not terrible considering what both went on the achieve. That's why you should watch the undercards. AJ was so low on the card in the Groves-Froch rematch I was still in some god awful strip club in King's Cross that my casual mates insisted on going into when he fought. He was on at like 6 or something.
