For those of you who have lost interest in boxing

Take a peek tonight at the Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. Vs. Peter Manfredo Jr. fight tonight on HBO. It should be a classic fight and both guys fight an exciting style.

If I had HBO I would have watched it. I have lost most interest in boxing since the MMA stuff has hit the scene.

Way back when you were in it I watched it alot! Of course we had to get up and turn the DIAL to change between the three channels we received and had foil on our rabbit ear antennas!!! Lol just messing with ya Tim.:p

Ouch! :D

I used to watch boxing all the time, and besides fishing thats all the sports I ever cared for. but after Tommy Morrison the heavyweight fighter, got aids and had to stop fighting. I lost interest in boxing. he was my favorite boxer. that was a while back, in the early 90's I think.

Tommy was supposed to fight Arthur Weathers from Louisville when his aids test came up positive. Arthur was a pretty good amateur light heavyweight back in the 80's and lost in the Golden Gloves National title bout to Evander Holyfield.

Chavez dad was a beast in the ring! I havent watched a fight since Trinidad quit, and he may be back, been a while. Who won?

Chavez by tko in the fifth. Seemed like a quick stoppage too me. Chavez has Freddie Roach training him now and looked like a much better fighter.

Lost interest in Boxing a long time ago.....MMA is the real deal now...people want to see a real fight now in today's world imo.....

I give you credit that you can most likely hit pretty hard for a boxer....
