How long has the word "cute" been part of Boxing terminology?

to me, I always thought cute was a way to describe a very defensive fighter or one with a flashy style

That body shot he threw and missed on Ortiz....**** that just looked awkward I would have thrown my back out

I wasn't ****ing around, it's from the 1780s. It means what it means today still, cute is cute. A man trying to stand and trade find a smaller man only getting into range to get away with hitting the first man lightly, is cute.
Mendoza was the original cutie. They're not being nice about it, men are not meant to be cute. He's also the original coward and the original fraud. He's the first boxer type in boxing since the fall of Rome.
Y'all can guess and make **** up or go read about Mendoza.
Quick note on Fancy. Fancy meant enjoyed for a long time. Not so much flashy until like the 20s or so. from 1722-1888 is I read Fancy I know it means enjoy or want or some such. Like I fancy a steak. Fancy was the fans, the promoters, the fighters, anyone who liked boxing was fancy, the fancy, or the boxing fancy.
so let's say it's 1840 and you read "X lands a fancy blow to the nose" could read as impressive or flashy or some such and that'd be close to right but what it really means is crowd pleasing. Cute and crowd pleasing still kinda struggle to be married into one. Floyd is cute, he's not fancy.....in olden terms I mean.

Imagine Wilder throwing a no look phantom overhead right. Christ man, I don't give a damn if your fan or hater you have to know that punch in his arsenal, even done poorly, would really help him cut mother ****ers off.
