Does shaking your head no while getting hit sway the judges?

A judge will see it 1 to nothin'. What are you denying that the shot landed, or that it didn't hurt.....? Either way, Still 1 to nothin'..........Rockin'

I think if anything...you are admitting to getting hit. Wether you got hurt or not...you are telling the judges that the other guy is landing.

broner is such a phaggot. he saw floyd do it in the cotto fight and then decided to do it every fight, including the ones he was getting he ass whooped in

Of course Broner is trying to sway the judges but it wouldn't work on a good judge.

Uh, NO

it's the macho game, to get a psychological edge over your opponent, like he's fighting Godzilla

.

It has other uses, as a boxer can play possum after he's REALLY been hurt. The toughguy act can throw an opponent off, and buy some time to recover. Sometimes a boxer will try that head shaking invulnerable act, while his unsteady legs are telling a different story

Some guys have shaken their head, and got knocked out on the NEXT punch

! So it can hilariously backfire!

I think it does actually subconsciously influence judges in favor of the shaker, even though it isn't rational.

I remember that

iirc at that time Miranda was a legit contender too, not just a guy coming in for a payday
