Should referees eliminate "glove touching"?

[sugarsmosley]

that fight was cringeworthy lol.

im never watching that fight again.

its like "sorry i hit you, shake hands. sorry i hit you, shake hands. rinse and repeat.

lol mosley and pac are my two all time faves, but yea it was cringeworthy watching shane

you could totally tell he was trying to get pac to let up a bit, smiling and winking and touching gloves everytime he threw a punch

Boxing is a sport and it's a sign of sportsmanship..
Besides its always better when the ref asked them to touch and they don't want too...that hypes it up a bit

Lol, touching gloves shows respect and is a positive aspect of the sport. Though it is such a small aspect but important. Children will watch boxers touch gloves and learn a lesson about respect.

but can we just leave that after the last bell rings?

i mean they hug, exchange emotional words and show respect every time.
then become BFFs at that moment.

Trinidad did it excessively against Winky too and it was pointless because the rounds were not even competitive. Usually I see two fighters acknowledge each others efforts after a round they both got off some nice shots. But I hate seeing it from a fighter who just got his ass handed to him. Sure getting beat up humbles you down, but you have to show some fire when losing, not become friendly. Props/acknowledgement can be given maybe with a subtle nod and a smirk but don't go touching gloves every round.

...is the correct answer

[Russian Crushin]

So any time 2 fighter's glove touch, they should be penalized? Every fight would be a DQ

[Beercules]

dumb idea


*touches Meat's glove to tell him its ok*

Lololololol

Touching gloves is a fine way to show sportsman like conduct.
It's when you go to hug a guy that it gets bad, ask Victor Ortiz, he knows.

I admit I get annoyed when there's a ton of glove touching. I don't have a big problem with it though. I'm more or less indifferent on the matter.

[MindBat]

I'd rather see gloves touching many times more than watching fighters kiss each other on the mouth or elsewhere before and during fights.

Leave glove touching alone.
