First fight that really gripped my interest in the sport was Holmes - Norton....
and I guess Hearns v Cuevas cemented it......
The fight that got you interested in Boxing

360 degrees
You are right....Under the lights you're talking 120 degrees....
Seemed a bit silly..
shame he didn't rematch him soon after instead of throwing his career away!

Bruno outboxed Lewis early....Nobody has a gameplan that involves being smacked hard and often in the face early Mate!!
Only when Bruno slowed did Lewis get a foothold...
===================================
Can't really comment too much on it as i've only seen the fight once in 1993. I'll take your word for it.

Bruno did well with his jab early on, won a few rounds, but Lewis was of his game but began to take over, one punch and Bruno does his leaning on the ropes hands drop and Lewis was just teeing off.

Eubank v Benn 2
Think I was about 7 or 8 and ITV were showing a replay of it one night.
First time my old boy let me stay up late, way past my usual bedtime and I was instantly hooked on boxing agree that

Mc Guigan fought Cruz at the time of the day when the heat was at it's worst.
