      to sum it up in general i dont think ppl would wanna see long fights(because they can get bored easily if there new to boxing) cause most fans wanna see the knock out. thats where the o's and ah's come out. cause there usually funny

        you dont know what the people who watch are saying! thats like saying "i know what that guy on the other side of the city is thinking!"

        pernell whitaker, sugar ray leonard, and naseem hamed all clowned around in the ring and only hamed is regarded as entertaining and that was only when he was actually fighting instead of acting like a douche bag.

        showboating pisses the fans off. they dont cheer and scream and go wild whenever you shake ur head, shake ur ass, wiggle ur body, dance around, or do anything fancy. you dont win FOTYs by ****ing around. you entertain the fans by giving them something they came to watch and what they paid for: a good, exciting fight that they will enjoy.

        showboating is showboating. It can be positive o negative depends on how you do it. Erik Morales show boats from time to time and yells CMOOOON! LOL. Shyt even ma main man Pacquiao showboats in ta ring once in a while. It's to get em psyched and keep em in thurrr in ta fight.

        Barrera, on ta otha hand don't do none of that shyt. He got hammered by Pac, but no emotion no nothin. Jest physical dismantling he got. LOL!!! MAYBE, IF HE WOULDA YELLED "CMOOOOOOOOOOON" while bein hammered by straigh lefts all night, he mighta made it competitve a lil bit. LOL!

          Also, let me correct sumthin. I mean the Pac-JMM first 11 rounds. Ignore ta decision because that will turn many future fans off of boxigng.
