    What do you thinks when fighters touch gloves at the start of EVERY round?

    Kill that bull****, i knew we were in for a very long night when mosley looked foward to touching gloves more than boxing. I was glad to see mayweather pop mosley in his mouth for talking and being all friendly in the match.

    more recently when berto came out in the seventh trying to touch ortiz's glove ortiz popped that sucka in his grill. You can always tell which fighter wants it more by the way they totally disrespect is opposition in the fight. Not to be unsportsmanlike, just "we are here to fight ***** now fight".

    Thoughts?

    I agree completely. Too much "respect" in the ring = boring ass fight.

        meh

        mosley touched margarito's gloves after brutally dropping him after the round ended. He subsequently touched his glove when the next round started, and then proceeded to try to kill him,

        Still, fighters like Maidana and May who would pop you in the mouth for trying to touch gloves are great.

          That was one show of respect at the end, but rest of the fight they had bad intentions toward each other. they weren't stroking each other afert EVERY round or EVERY break like mosely did last night. :3some:

            Ive no time for it, after an accidental head clash or something and before the last round sure its sporting but EVERY round is too much its FIGHT and ur there to hurt the guy, i prefer a cold hearted Cotto type approach

              Just posted about this in another thread. In both the Mayweather and Pac fights, Mosley was doing this way too much and Pac was too happy to oblige. At least May just punched him and didn't want to do it all the time. I'm all for good sportsmanship but I don't want to see fighters touch gloves after every clinch, headbutt, punch, walk, run etc. Start and/or end of the round I think is good, but not all the time.

                They did touch gloves in between also because of headbutts and such. But not as much as Pac vs Mosley
