    Almost everyone has noticed he shakes his right hand during a fight like his hand is hurt ...but I also noticed he does it in his corner as well...sorta like a nervous condition. I first thought maybe he shakes it Because his glove might be too tight and he does it to loosen it somewhat...but then quickly discarded that thought in search for an answer more fiesable...

    So..officially the question is:

    Why does Leo Santa Cruz right hand "tick" or shake during his fights?

    Probably a habit he picked up at a very young stage of boxing and never grew out of it

    He was doing it on the stool between rounds. I wonder if he has bad circulation or something.

    That's along the lines of what I was thinking at first...but he throws his right pretty often so I kno its not in pain or anything...

    Nervous condition?

    Do you think a gameplan can be formed around this habit as atlas suggests?

    I think maybe Curtis Stevens...he also has a habit of constantly stretching his arms during a fight as well..

    Some of us have learned to mute for certain announcers. Do yourself a favor and join the club...

    Yes. Stevens' foot is highly distracting.
