    Showboat of the year?

    I'd like to see this as a fun category in The Ring's yearly roundups. Personally, I love nothing better than a good showboat, though obviously it has to have payoff.

    My winner for last year was Carlos Baldomir tapping his chin to Judah - just before giving us the delights of Chicken Dance II.

    Sadly, when he did it later in the year against Floyd it didn't have the same payoff as he was getting his head boxed off. Without the pay off it just seemed quite futile and pointless, somehow. (tautology... futile IS pointless, right? Just checking you were paying attention).


    At this early stage three months in I quite liked Michael Sprott demonstrating how frustrating his high guard was to Audley by opening the guard in the third round and jutting his chin out multiple times (ISTR sticking his tongue out as well) while pulling funny faces. The fact that thirty seconds later Audley was flat on his back with his right leg twitching made it all the sweeter.

        That was some gangster ****.

        That was an underrated moment.

        Although I'm sure it is now legend in Baldomir country.

          yeah that thing that Miranda did was funny. One of the best showboaters of all time is Emmanuel Augusuts even though he's lost a ton of times.

                the best one is peter in his rematch with toney.
                - when toney lost balance in round 10, and peter imitating him, because such showbothing, wasn't expected from peter. that's more toney style.
                - and at the end of the fight when peter does the ali shuffle. in the same time he showed somme skills

                    From last year it was Alejandro Berrio kissing Yusuf Mack on the head during an exchange up against the ropes!
