pretty wild i thought.
He’s a dick. Tbh I’ve never seen someone so unaware of their opponents fate. The crowd didn’t seem to be cheering him either they were in shock. I love seeing Chandler get smashed and it’s going to happen again soon enough.

Molly McCann a few weeks back, her opponent was totally out if for a few minutes while she was running into the crowd for a toy belt.

Ray Leonard's celebrations after poleaxing a shot Dave Green in the States turned the British press against him. Harry Mullan hated Leonard.

Just watched that back on Youtube. Huge shot! Fairly muted celebration in comparison to some of the stuff that goes on these days I have to say. Not defending Leonard though btw, just an observation.

Which feral simian started the now standard celebratory routine of leaping up onto the turnbuckles and beating your chest while glowering at the crowd? It's pure jungle chimp stuff. Who first engaged in this odious display? It's really taken off in the 21st C.

Lol like battering an opponent unconscious isn’t primitive lol check yourself…. Fighting sports are kinda as primitive as you can get

'Check myself'? Perhaps you should educate yourself. Boxers were dignified in victory for the majority of the history of sport. The chimp-like histrionics are a relatively new behaviour.

Not quite the same thrill but this dick has had his head punched in a few times and it was very satisfying watching the compilations of his losses

Anthony Yarde and Luis Ortiz are the two that spring to mind when it comes to doing the King Kong style thumping the chest following a victory.

I seem to recall Felix Trinidad doing the leaping up on the ringpost in the 90s, but can't recall anyone doing it before that.

Leonard was briefly up on the turnbuckle after stopping Wilfred Benitez in 1979.

Yes, I remember the photo in Boxing News. Leonard, I seem to recall, also did it after Duran bailed out in the eighth round of their rematch.

I recall Felix Trinidad prematurely leaping onto the ropes vs Troy Waters, that was about 25 years ago. It’s been around a while.

It wasn't commonplace in the 90s though. It's all the time now. So embarrassing.

Right. Tyson never did that stuff… just walked towards his corner with a knowing look on his face. I guess the social media generation are all about the ‘look at me’.

Alexis Arguello showed his class after knocking out an opponent, watch his fight against Rooney.
Marvin Hagler vs Sibson is another great champion showing respect to a beaten opponent
