    Strange question: I was watching the Zanon-Quarry and Zanon-Norton fights, and saw a man dressed as a rooster acting a bit like a cheerleader (shadow-boxing, calling out etc.) and generally distracting from the action.

    Was this a Zanon thing? An LV thing in the mid-1970s? Or what?

    I thought this thread was going to be a knock-knock joke.

    Yeah, a Zanon thing for sure. He had a huge rooster following in Italy.

    Zanon was well known throughout Italy as "The Great Chicken of Novedrate" during his career.

    It was an homage.

    Is that because chickens move very quickly, but have beaks rather than chins?

    The Lombardi roosters were especially vocal in their support of Lorenzo.
