Further to my award winning NSB rules thread, please see this list of etiquette associated with the aftermath of any big fight. The rules can be found here.
After-fight Etiquette for Non Stop Boxing
Immediately after the fight it is vitally important that as many people as possible start a topic with the result of the thread. Some people have missed it live and may want to wait until they have a chance to watch it, perhaps on the replay, before they hear the result. These people are IDIOTS and must be rescued from themselves. Remember in accordance with the rules if the winner is a fighter you like you MUST say that they "destroyed" their opponent. If on the other hand you despise the victor it is important to point out that the opponent was either cheated out of victory (ROBBERY OMFG!) or that there was some extenuating circumstances that preclude the victor from any credit (...was shot/...bad refereeing/...was too small/...looked bad).
Following this if you are able to get online at all you must make a topic about how the victor is "ducking" someone else in the rankings, no matter how ludicrous a matchup it would be. For example a super featherweight who moves up to lightweight and wins will be "ducking" a junior middleweight, or a challenger who beats a champion to win the title will be "ducking" a guy who is ranked third even though generally if someone gives you the choice of fighting for the title or fighting a guy who is ranked below you without a title you would choose the title fight without a second thought.
If the victor is already lining up his next fight then several things must happen:
1. Their prospective opponent who has been talking about nothing else than the matchup with the victor "looks scared"
2. The victor is ducking other guys who were never in the picture before
3. People who dislike one of the fighters in this prospective matchup pick apart their record including every single poor performance in both their professional and amateur careers.
Finally regardless of how bad a beatdown it is, regardless of how comprehensive a decision, regardless of how competitive it is, regardless of what is at stake, at least one person must claim that the loser "threw the fight".
If you follow these simple rules then you will fit in well here.
