Did any anyone listen to the Jenny Lewis interview (w/ Arroz Y Frijoles) where she mentioned she was a fan of boxing? Anyway, there is a big boxing match on HBO on Nov. 17, in the 135-pound division. Anyway, I live for boxing, more than any other sport. Does anyone on here care about the sport?

I'm a big boxing fan. I was hooked back in the Tyson days, when he was the most exciting boxer around. I know MMA and UFC stuff is huge these days, but I will take an old school boxing match over that stuff any day of the week (and I loved the early days of the UFC with the Gracie's dominating everyone).

There are some excellent matches on youtube if you search around. The Micky Ward/Arturo Gatti fights are particularly awesome to watch (and some of the best rounds of boxing you are going to see).

I used to love boxing, but all of the controversial horrible decisions has turned me off big time. I don't watch many matches these days.

A couple of weeks ago I went back and watched a bunch of bouts from my personal favorite of all-time...Tommy "The Hit Man" Hearns. He wasn't the best ever or anything like that, but he was exciting as hell to watch.

Boxing is the only sport that my family watches together but I agree with the post above, recent decisions have turned me off the sport. Not completely, I still watch some of the fights. Recently the Chavez jr Vs Martinez was was rather enjoyable, then again I may be bias since I made a bet with Jenny. She clearly won and but was a good sport about it. As a kid though all my friends had cable and I didnt so they had cartoon network and stuff all I had was Mexican tv channels which had late night friday amateur fights. The only time I would get cable as a kid was when my parents would order pay per view to see the fight. incidentally It was mostly the chavez fights and the trinidad ones.

The fight is tomorrow and I didn't get no e-mail notifying me Broner had a problem with the weigh-in. Does anyone else wanna see Broner get KO'd? He is fighting Ring Magazine's #1 ranked 135-pounder. I do expect Broner to TKO Antonio DeMarco though, in the middle rounds (5-8).

Also Nonito Donaire is fighting for the 4th time this year, next month, I think on the 15th. It will be on HBO.

Edited.
