Any suggestions on some of the things I need to point out to him? I have been to live boxing events about 15 times or so. I know thats not a lot to you Dmar. LOL

Its funny he is a big UFC fan and I got him to start watching boxing with the hatton vs Pac fight.

The first time I went to real pro fights I was astonished by the sheer violence of the sport. The Rocky movies look a little less silly after sitting ringside and watching one guy lift another off the mat with a crisp body shot or how a clean punch on the jaw makes a fighter react like he'd been stuck with a cattle prod.

One suggestion is to use the one minute between rounds to get him to focus on just one element in the next round. Get him thinking and anticipating along with the fight.
