Touching the gloves after each round?

No big deal. I like how Mosley does it then he attempts to kill you.

 

neither for nor against

I have a major beef with fighters who pretend to be touching gloves and then throw a sucker punch. Mijares comes to mind.

 

It's not something I notice to be honest. I'm usually too focused over analyzing **** that I miss things like that. Stuff like bowing after a low blow, touching gloves at the end of the round etc etc etc.

 

That was my thought. Mosley does it all the time, it's just his personallity.

 

of course he did they were close fights that could have easily been a UD for him.

 

Nothin wrong wit it, as long as the action ain't affected by the fighters bein cool wit each other.

 

I do it on the way back to the corner with almost all of my opponents.

 

defenetly against that, it looks like ****, after fight it's ok, but not to much haging and kissings like some do, like Mike Tyson kissing Lewis, that was gay

 

dont like it

 

i think it depends on the fighters. some fighters feel they need to mad dog and intimidate their opponent in order to be completely effective. others with a more professional approach can perform at their best while showing respect for the other fighter. i always felt it was a sign of a mutual agreement to fight fair and let the best man win.

 

That's pretty much how I feel. We're there to fight and go hard, but you don't have to be a dick about it. We both know what we're doing.

 

I remember watching a publicity tournament with a bunch of Mexican journeymen flown out to Indonesia to fight some of their journeymen.

It was a slaughter.

After each big exchange, the Indonesian would bow to acknowledge how good it was and the Mexican would club him behind the ear without missing a beat.

 

rule #1- protect yourself at all times
rule #2- never take your eyes off your opponent.
didnt they learn after the first time?

 

IF they do it , they do it... who cares. I would much rather watch them stare eachother down after each round though!!! Kinda like after round 1 Hagler v Hearns.
