    I think when Donaire KO'd Young the first thing he did was sit and pray beside him to make sure he was ok. No celebrating at all.

    Could well be making that up though

    Should have knocked him out for not doing the same.

    He did climb the ringpost and roar triumphantly first. :lol: Can't knock him for being exhilarated in the moment.


    I realize this will be a wholly unwelcome nomination for the most part, but Canelo has good form for sporting gesture in the ring. Following a disconsolate Perro around after the stoppage to congratulate him on his bravery, immediately checking on Kirkland and Khan after seperating them entirely from their senses (and immediately meeting Rocky Fielding to congratulate him on his payday), motioning for the crowd to cool its excitement before checking on Kovalev.

    Ah...I forgot that part! I think Choco has good form for checking in on guys he has just iced generally too.

    Yes, recall the Khan one actually. I think Canelo realised how fortunate he was that the ref stopped the fight so damn early, otherwise The King was about to step into second gear.

    Love Floyd, but til this day this rubs me the wrong way. It seems so fake and off.
    I know people are bad at detecting lyiars, but this is really strange to me for some reason.
    Then again, Floyds life and his world is way different to that of mine, so it might be that.

    Alexis Arguello consoling Mancini.
    Pryor consoling Arguello.
    Winky Wright for handing McKart back his NABF title and sincerely thanking him for agreeing to fight him when a lot of other people wouldn’t.
    William Joppy for admitting he beat a washed up Duran and stating how he felt sad doing it.

    Honorable mention to Julian Jackson for routinely pointing out where his opponents should land.
