    do you also miss the days win after fighting a 15 round All-out brawl fighters would hug each other in mutual respect after the fight. ...Or are you the type that enjoys watching a fighter immediately run to the corner and stand on the third rope with both hands in the air and/or just turn away from their opponent. It seems that fighters are becoming more and more egotistical. For me I'll take the former..

    Boxing is a sport . . . so I would love to see the fighters hug each other immediately after the bell ending the fight.

    . . . maybe I'm old school too. :D

    I guess I'm old school too, except I was born in 1992 xD. Hug after the fight is definitely the right thing to do.

    I thought it was weird that he didn't want to touch gloves. Some say it looks like he didn't know but really if you are a fighter, how can you not know?

    I misread this as 1922 and was shocked that you knew how to smile on the internet using the letters "x" and capital "D".

    A hug and then go to opposite sides and raise your hands in victory.

    Yeah that was bad. In there with a veteran who could have arguably wipte the floor with him if he were younger and didn't show the respect due to the older fighter.

    I don't really care.

    Usually when they raise their arms and everything after the final bell, they end up touching gloves or hugging shortly after that anyway.

    Fighters build respect over the fight - and should hug.
