:thumbsup Thank you, dude. I thought this needed no explanation, but there are always ******s who need it.
The chicken dance is nothing to be ashamed of, its a time-honored tradition and a ceremony of manhood, a rite of passage for the untested, an opportunity for valor for all fighters.
I don't think either is embarassment. Takes a lot of guts to get in the ring. I would rather do the chicken dance because maybe there is a chance I could recover. Many guys wobble. My favorite fighter Hearns had his legs wobble in probably in about 9 fights Leonard,Hagler,Andries (2nd round), Roldan (2,3 4 round), Barkley (3rd round), Kinchen (4th 6th, 12th), Leonard (5th,9th,12th round) Delgado (2nd round)Grant (1st round). So look at all that, and he had a great career. Tommy was tall so when he was hurt his legs really showed it.
The chicken dance is just showing that a guy was hurt. If a guy can overcome that, it shows greatness not embarassment. Everytime I was at a boxing match even amateur fights when a guy lost or was knocked out, I notice everyone in the crowd gives the guy who lost a handshake and pats him on the back because everyone knows that to get in that ring takes guts-to go in front of everyone. I am sure anyone who has been to fights knows what I am talking about. We always give the loser just as much acknowledgement and know he was a winner in all ways just to try.
