    A difference in Class

    It's hard for me to respect a fighter who mocks or taunts his opponent who he's just stopped or knocked out. This was classless.

    This was class.

    I was going to post Tank's KO and mocking of Fonseca but after a long search, I couldn't find it. Not sure if this is being buried or what but total lack of class. No reason to be like that.

    I gotta agree with what your saying.
    It's definitely not a good look, well in my book anyway if a fighter totally disrespects an opponent like that.
    I suppose it will gain alot of talk and some brain dead fans by doing it though.

      Wow.....I didn't expect that behavior from Erik. Did Velardez talk shlt leading up to the fight ??? I can appreciate classlessness if it's a way of making a mouthy opponent eat crow.

      Had Spence OK'd Mikey and posed over his sleeping body, I'd be ok with that.

          Lomachenko-Marriaga is another one. That was classless, patting him on the head and stuff.

            Yeah, I knew there was a grudge. Just thought that classless. He beat the shlt out of him in the fight and dragged it out. I mean, damn. Haha. Still an El Terrible fan but didn't care for that.

              That doesn't compare at all with making fun of an opponent who is knocked out imo. BSing during the fight is one thing. Making fun of a man on the matt is just classless. That would be the key difference.

                  Yeah, Morales had a beef with the guy over his little brother. I get that but I still thought that was shltty. I mean, he drug the fight out so he could beat up on the dude longer. That was clear. But then to take the pic like that...I don't know. Too much imo. I will say that El Terrible never acted that way about any other opponent though. So he was usually cool.

                    No difference. They are both demeaning. It was classless.
