Man I miss hbo boxing so much I miss jim lamprey Larry merchant max kellerman Roy Jones all the good times. Boxing after dark will always have a place in my heart Rip champ
Love this theme song!!!!! Remember watching boxing in the 90's and it reminds me so much of De La Hoya's fights. Man, my dad use to get super pumped when De La Hoya fought and it was this theme song. They need to bring this one back.
Best ever.. Brings back Memories when i would sit and watch boxing with my grandfather, this theme song is by far the best one ever.. Thanks for posting...
Good stuff...I also liked after the intro the saxophone lead into the boxer locker rooms showing them warming up and at the end of the broadcast when they recap that nights action.
Boxing was a sport everyone could enjoy, sit down in a living room and watch. It was a big part of my childhood. and now its almost dead. I wish boxing would make a come back in the sports community.
I know Floyd is the best boxer ever and love him for what he gave us, but as a Puerto Rican, I truly felt so proud seeing Miguel Cotto in there. The main thing for HBO was boxing, and for you to have made it in one of their intros says it all about your accomplishments.
This is by far, the best theme song HBO has ever had for its, "World Championship Boxing" intro. Everything about it is great. It really gets you excited to watch a great fight. I wish they could bring this one back, but use its current opening sequence, i think that would be cool!... I also love the theme, when cameras are in the fighter's dressing rooms, all the pre-fight hype. Check out HBO Boxing Archives, to find out what I'm talking about.
Does anyone know if here is a longer version of this? The theme tune is so dam catchy. What a song to build up a fight, i wish they had something like this in Britain!
dude i remember when i was a youngster in the 90's and my dad ordered a bocing match on hbo and this theme wold just be so amazing! now the only enjoyment aside from pacman boxing in real life is fight night
Boxings lower weight classes will always be good (especially welter, middle, and light heavy) But the heavyweight weight class is what gets people interested in boxing... They need to step it up if boxing is to get REAL big again.
I get choked up every single time I see this. I have always wanted to go to the fights with my dad at an HBO event but I am worried that due to his health now and considering how poor I am I don't think we will ever get there. I remember watching and talking about Friday Night Fights with him. Boxing despite the lean years is much better than this pit fighting MMA bs.
Does anybody have the closing theme song for this? The 2004-2005 version? The 2005 version of the closing theme is my favorite...If anyone has it, please upload it...
does anyone know the name of the song playing when they were doing the special on Berto when he took his trip to Haiti to volunteer? it was kind of a slow piano song. HBO uses it alot during promos before fights and I can't figure out what it is.
How many memories... RIP HBO Boxing.
sucks how we'll never get to experience the feeling of this era again.. rip HBO boxing
Man I miss hbo boxing so much I miss jim lamprey Larry merchant max kellerman Roy Jones all the good times. Boxing after dark will always have a place in my heart Rip champ
0:20 thats the beginning of when shit is getting real
I remember being young and watching boxing with my dad... this intro would always fire me up and I would have my dad hold mitts for me just for fun
Definitely
The best intro in the boxing history
Best HBO Boxing theme ever...I wish they'd bring it back in 2016.

Ask your grandfather if he remembers this one ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
I listen to this every time I'm about to do something big.
Watch this HBO opening and you'll see/hear what gets me moving ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
reminds me of always waiting for Jones, Hopkins, Wright, Pac-Man, Pretty Boy Floyd to finally fight nostalgia at its best
Tcharles Stone exactly the music give me chills
Boxing in its prime. I miss those days.
Tcharles Stone oscar de la hoya will beat then all
1945joshuaruiz he ducked Wright
Got Killed by Pacquiao
Got beat By Floyd
Got stopped by Hopkins
And would’ve been slaughtered against Roy
Tito Trinidad! One of the best eras of boxing!
Hearing this always gave me the chills, as i knew in for something good! whether it was a DLH fight, Gatti fight, or anything from now.
the GOAT of Boxing PPV... HBO!!
Word can't describe how much I miss this.
Good stuff...I also liked after the intro the saxophone lead into the boxer locker rooms showing them warming up and at the end of the broadcast when they recap that nights action.
Boxing died after HBO let it go. I miss Jim Lampley the most
That shit never gets tired
You might like this one HBO opening better ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
They need to bring this one back. Makes the anticipation for the fight more epic.
I miss watching this intro
This one was even better ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
Needed this thank you!
Chills, literal chills
HBO Boxing 1973-2018 Thanks for the memories
Now showtime will be a memory to.😢
Boxing was a sport everyone could enjoy, sit down in a living room and watch. It was a big part of my childhood. and now its almost dead. I wish boxing would make a come back in the sports community.
This is what I grew up watching boxing after dark watching Mayweather and pacquio rip it up it gives me chills
What an awesome show, what a great great fight !

I know Floyd is the best boxer ever and love him for what he gave us, but as a Puerto Rican, I truly felt so proud seeing Miguel Cotto in there. The main thing for HBO was boxing, and for you to have made it in one of their intros says it all about your accomplishments.

Gives me chills
Does anyone know if here is a longer version of this? The theme tune is so dam catchy. What a song to build up a fight, i wish they had something like this in Britain!
I need back the 80’s.
Best intro,
This one is better ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
Best intro tune ever...RIP.

They need to step it up if boxing is to get REAL big again.
Wish would come back!
i think the recent one is the best. the one where it starts off showing sugar ray gettin his hands wrapped
Classic watching Tyson n douglas lol
RIP to a wonderful theme and intro...
HBO Boxing 1973-Forever
It's time for our main event Welterweight champion Miguel Cotto vs Sugar Shane Mosley.
WHAT A THEME.
The Lennox Lewis fights
Legendary
I remember pacquiao - morales fight in this soundtrack
I get choked up every single time I see this. I have always wanted to go to the fights with my dad at an HBO event but I am worried that due to his health now and considering how poor I am I don't think we will ever get there. I remember watching and talking about Friday Night Fights with him. Boxing despite the lean years is much better than this pit fighting MMA bs.
This would be my entrance music if i was a boxer
Extraño mucho HBO .
Missing hbo boxing so bad not the same anymore
I miss HBO boxing, showtime and DAZN are all right
amen to that
I wish they used this theme in the 6th rocky movie when rocky fought Antonio tarver
@purvertedmunk
Check out HBO boxing old end music loop... it was just posted... its the music at the end of the HBO PPV broadcast.
Feeling good bout to watch the fight I got Mosley! Daaaaaaammm
If You Like This Check out Double Empac hip hop Version of this Theme an other Themes aswell
Go right to the composer's website, Casey Filiaci. He has the mp3 available for free d/l. One of the best sports theme ever written.
GETS U SERIOUSLY PUMPED!!!!
Is there an extended version of this song? Esp the boxing 24/7? These are great motivating songs!!!
This one born in 1982 is better and not many videos on youtube include it - ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
Oscar De La Hoya Vs. Tito Trinidad. Best fight of all times
@kanadiankreme thanks man !
My childhood. Oscar de la hoya carne asada parties
If u like this theme. Check out HBO Hip Hop theme by Double Empac it's really good
🔥
I can smell this theme 👃🏽
I like the 1990s version on the opening better..
The one born in 1982 was better ua-cam.com/video/Uql9M_Rf1hM/v-deo.html
RIP HBO Boxing
Does anybody have the closing theme song for this? The 2004-2005 version? The 2005 version of the closing theme is my favorite...If anyone has it, please upload it...
does anyone have the ending theme? Where it's mostly done with piano and slower?
does anyone know the name of the song playing when they were doing the special on Berto when he took his trip to Haiti to volunteer? it was kind of a slow piano song. HBO uses it alot during promos before fights and I can't figure out what it is.
Can we please fucking have this back all the streaming stuff sucks
😢😢😢
Really? That sucks. I was at the Mosley Margarito fight so I had no idea. Is the new one similar at least?
adam sandler vs taylor lautner
chris rock vs rob schneider
robert pattinson vs mike tyson
whats the song?
엠스플이냐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
한국인 발견!!
🥹🥹🥹
i think this was the best opening i dont like the new one
Anyone have this as an mp3 ?
Dazn is a better than pov ngp
It is, but its shorter, and way more synth-y. Overall, a totally unnecessary, disappointing change.
This was my golden era of boxing....now ya got espn and fox lol fucking awful
