I'd like to invite people to share their memories of some of the first fights they ever attended. What was the venue like? The atmosphere? The fights themselves? I'm hoping a few old timers will share some of their memories.

I'd have loved to have been present at some of the old fights and venues and just to know what some people on this board have experienced would be a real thrill.

For me it was probably the night Mcguigan won the title from Pedrosa!. Great night and fight! and a real party after. I turned Irish for about a month after that night!.... 8) 8) 8)

'Here we go here we go here we goooo!.....'

ive never been, my parents didnt want me going because they feared id want to start boxing myself

for me being at ringside on a Eubank bill.

His entrance to the ring was worth the entrance fee.

But yes I loved the night of the McGuigan-Pedroza fight.

One up here was the night Jim Watt beat Alfred Pitalua, emotions were high that night.
