U KNOW U're a Hardcore Boxing Fan WHEN....

When the words 'lets get ready to rumble' cause you to sit up in your seat and start to throw shadow punch combinations.

MTF

 

I'd add "quien es mas macho"

 

......imagining situations where being able to say 'ladies and gentleman' and 'who is more macho?' could come in handy. ::

 

you go to a job interview with your michael nunn-sumbu kalambay shirt.

 

You know who either of those guys (especially Kalambay) are.

 

You read about such a shirt existing think 'hey that'd be cool' and google shopping search it.

 

Haha you so did that didn't you

 

hahaha i got about 7 boxing shirts and wear them all the time.

hearns-leonard, hearns-hagler, leonard hagler, tyson-bruno, couple other newer ones, but nothing can match nunn-kalambay. have met one guy in at least 20 times wearing it who was like michael nunn was a pretty damn good southpaw.

sumbu on the other hand..

 

You know what "pour water on his balls" means.

 

why does hearns look 8 feet tall in the hagler hearns shirt?

 

when you know how mayweather pronounces castillo as castilleo.

 

When the term 'bad oysters' makes you laugh.

 

'Nother GOOD 1...

REED's Wedding Anniversary is November 14th...THE ONLY Reason REED Recalls that is Because it's the Same Night that Roy Jones Fought Otis Grant...

Also, Roy Waxed Pazienza AND Floyd Waxed Gatti on June 25th, which is REED's B-Day....



REED:hammert:

 

That AND when Jim Lampley Says "TALE of the TAPE!!!"....REED Usually APPLAUDS when Buffer Says "Let's Get Ready to Ruuumble", Even if he's HOME ALONE Watching a Fight...



REED:mj:

 

When you hear your wife tell her friend " oh no sorry, can't do that Saturday night. Saturday nights from 5-10 PM are off limits. That's Fight time."

 

If you know who Ike Ibeabuchi is

When not knowing the answer to a question, my friends and I have a tendency to answer "I don't know man".

For awhile, when people would talk about a new Michael Moore documentary, I would think of Michael Moorer.

 

When you know the words to the Filipino national anthem.

 

:: Or you have back pain, and somebody asks you what's up with your back, you reply "It's spinal!"

 

I think this is more about being a hardcore Fightbeat fan, but when my student (age 16) returned me an essay titled "A Horse", I first thought of this place and burst laughing

 

106, 109, 112, 115, 118, 122, 126, 130, 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, 175, 200, +




If you see those numbers and immidiately have a clue what they mean. If u can put all 17 correctly like that without looking and know all the weight classes and a current champion or at least a world class fighter from all classes.

 

I say 'I don't know man' like that all the time. Good one. ::

 

:: Me too:doh:

 

Super mid dude.

 

:bears:

When you can look at a series of numbers like that and come back with "Super mid dude."

The best one in this thread is the dates thing. I have a weird memory where I can remember the dates for every major fight for the last 15 years or so....

So anytime someone mentions a date I can say, "oh that was a thursday..." and they always are amazed that I know.

Like who the hell would know that March 19 2005 and Nov 27 2004 were Saturdays?

 

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Happens to me all the time!
