How long has the word "cute" been part of Boxing terminology?

:lol1: :lol1: LMFAO @ your avy. Wilder actually can jab though. He should google how to throw basically any punch that ISN'T a Jab or a Straight Right. He walked out of the Ams like "naw, two punches is good fam." That body shot he threw and missed on Ortiz....**** that just looked awkward :lol1: I would have thrown my back out

I remember in my first amateur bout the ref said I had a "cute jab" and asked me if I knew how to keep a secret... :lol1: :lol1:

The term has been around for ages . It is a refrence to a boxer fighting "dirty" and getting away with it . Bernard hopkins was "cute." Makes sense since the 2nd definition of cute is "deceiving or cunning" to me, I always thought cute was a way to describe a very defensive fighter or one with a flashy style

Term is referred to showmen using “tricks” or fancy styles unexpectedly. For example a bad example of this representation would be Jermall Charlo thinking its a compliment about his purse opposed to the fight itself. Yes and typically someone would yell that out when the person attempting such 'tricks' looks ridiculous pulling them off and/or would be lucky to win the fight.

Forever. "Stop tryin to be cute!" I heard this stuff when I was 5.

I remember Angelo Dundee would use it whenever he felt Ray Leonard was showing off. Furthest back my brain goes ATM. Pretty sure it has always been a derogatory term.
