    Seeming as im out of the gym til monday ive been shadowboxing a lot more and been working on punching from different angles and moving my hands up and down like a sort of dummy action and a threw a jab followed by a straight right and for some reason it gave me a slight adrenaline boost so i followed with an uppercut and threw some hooks to follow.

    Does showboating actually help you?

    he means showboating - that little burst of energy he gets from doing something he thinks is cool.

    Some guys like RJJ seem to live by it.
    Just don't be like that guy who tried to jump off the ropes, turn and punch - he got KTFOd as soon as he turned.

    I think he actually refers to feinting a punch btw, as in shoulder feints or something.

    moving my hands up and down and throwing a dumby punch is what i meant by showboating.
    And seriously give me a real answer instead of abuse cos its getting old now.

    its feinting then

    show boating is like sticking your chin out, the ali shuffle, waving someone in, winding up shots

    feinting is like moving your hands, moving your head forward, pretending to throw basically

    show boating is for the pros

    feinting is essentiall

    no dont showboat at all the ref pulls you up for it

    i show boated once and the ref went nuts but in my defence my opponent show boated at me at the start of the round from his corner by sicking his chinm out so i did it in his face

    theres no need to show boat its disrespectful

    i only do it in the gym for a laugh and its all like winding up bolo punches and ali shuffles to my mates when we have an easy night
