    I don't mind it but I'll laugh my ass off at you if it backfires. Broner vs Maidana, Broner humps him and then gets knocked down twice and humped later in the fight.

    Yeah Paez was certainly an entertainer and there was something humorous about his showboating.

    Michael Venom Page showboating was irritating. If he was doing that against a World Champion fair enough I'd be impressed but to do it against the most basic of journeymen is just cringe

    No problem with it at all if you have skills to back it up like RJJ and Hamed did. I admit it's more satisfying when you have the Barreras and Maidanas make fighters look like fools doing it. Maidana humping Broner as payback was as memorable as the knockdowns.

    When Ali did it it was OK, but when others do it, not so much..............

    Each to their own. I loved it

    Any injury to Roy was inflicted by Joe himself, much as Roy injured Joe with the blatant lariat
