Boy do I love showboats gettin what they deserve
NiceGreenArrows
Which is why showboating happens. As Ali said, it sells out the garden
DisgruntledFerret
You gonna taunt and strut like Muhammad Ali, you better be Muhammad Ali.

Humbled him out
forResearchPurposesOnly
Best practice against a showboat is hold your form. Don’t allow yourself to step out of your own rhythm.
ivymantled69
This is what I do when the guy next to me at the urinal is also jerking off.

OlemGolem
Exactly.
scrumdungus
Showboating, as ugly as is it, is a valid tactic. It helps trick the judges into thinking you're more dominant in the fight and-
scrumdungus
Get your opponent worked up and to stop thinking clearly. Its very high risk/high reward, and typically satisyfing to see fail.
nicky512
Valid tactic? Yup. Does it work against you too? Yup! If you roll the dice enough, you’re going to lose eventually. This guy rolled a 1.
icbk
Most of the great ones did it. Ali, Tyson etc.
whatsisname
Yes. At the end of the day, their job is ultimately to be an entertainer.
epicurusaquinas
True. Example is Ali would use it kinda like psychological warfare. But this guy I think uses it far too often + too long each time.
JeremyPeevin
I mean I'd have stopped showboating the second I landed a fucking haymaker and it didn't phase him. Maybe take it just a little serious.
SoftKleenex
You get what you fucking deserve

Are you not into trains though?

some rude dipshit got his face caved in and you're laughing?
Minitokiwarsid
Don't f*ing act cocky or cheer until after the fight or race. Otherwise, you just look stupid.
LooseyGooseyBrett
He didn't get enough of what he deserved
SoftKleenex
That’s true, he went on with the showboating way longer than he should’ve before getting kicked
guitarfourtysix
Every time he showboats his shoulders he'd take his eyes off his opponent for a second. Homie picked up on that.
madeejit
It's called showbusiness. Not showfriends. Showbusiness.

FORGET ABOUT IT!
epicurusaquinas
Nobody wants a roundhouse from those bad boys. Coz then I have to bust a cap and I ain't goin back to jail!
Melonfish
I've only ever seen the final strike before, holy shit did that guy deserve it.
Illinifan88
Not a fan of MMA, but this will never not be satisfying.
Swashbuckler101
The bill always come due
NiceGreenArrows
I mean, here he did....eventually. But plenty of showboaters don't overdo it THAT much and do fine.
VodkaReindeer
that was a big step at the end

On one hand, that fighter was infuriating to watch. On the other hand, that's the point! He's trying to trick someone into making a mistake.
Saigon333
Sure, it's satisfying to watch him get KO'd, but his opponent does a remarkable job of keeping his cool and fighting smart amidst all that.
TheSupremeCrabMaster
Remember folks: The time to showboat is *after you've won.*
InfocalypseRising
I love that he just leaps on the dude and starts smashing his face
CloakedFigure
Patience is a virtue
scruit
Generally, unless they are out cold they could recover from the fall if you let them. If you start smashing then ref must stop it / you win
CaptGunpowder
Gotta tap into your ape instincts
IordNeko
Never has a shot been deserved so much
mbzlr
Honestly, seeing all of it, the black dude was kind of funny.
JoeMorgue
The showboating was bad, the inviting the other guy in for the glove touch and attacking should have been an immediate DQ.
splain
I think in this specific case it's an illusion with the loop of the gif. The gif ENDS with the high five. Unless I missed a different one
theoneandonlyMD
Very beginning, you can hear it in the audio where the commentators call him out on it. Total punk
BlueDsc
Absolutely, anyone who pulls that kind of shit has no right to be in the ring.
THESHADOWOFJECT
sure they do. to get the fucking audacity beat out of them.
DeanOMiite
100% The other stuff...I don't like it but whatever. He probably uses it to throw his opponent off. But the fake out is horse shit.
ihateimgurffs
It is a perfectly valid, although dick move. That is why judges tell you to touch gloves before the round starts.
ImurevJourhein
They should've let him stomp his ass a few times before they called the fight. Try showboating with brain damage, asshole.
0897867564534231
Not defending Mr showboat, but it jumps from glove touch to 1 min 27 seconds
NakedNorseman
it's a countdown.
Ohyesireallydidthat
The timer before glove touch reads 1 min 29 seconds though.
techley
Watch the clock. He goes for glove touch at 1:29 then leads right in for a kick. Total dick move.
0897867564534231
I didn't see that initially, you're absolutely right. Also, had I listened to the video, the commentary says the same.
sadurdaynight
I think the showboating deserves a DQ. If you're not going to take the match seriously, then move along. But, it gets views.
schismatosis
Nah. One of the greatest boxers Cassius Clay/ Mohammed Ali when asked why he showboats: "Because it sells out the Garden!"
scruit
I despise any tactic that makes your opponent think there is a pause or timeout. "Wrong ball" play etc. "Touch gloves" hit = scumbag move
DeanOMiite
Hidden ball trick in baseball. As a lifelong baseball player and fan...it's bush league.
Anarric
I think it's more of "before the snap take your shoe off and throw it" they tackle that dude but OH WAIT he's on the sideline running...
DeanOMiite
I mean at least they would be funny lol
memeseeks
Only gotta catch him slipping once.
Pelican3
Muhammad Ali did it best. This kid ain’t Muhammad Ali.
AlwaysInTheshadows
I'd screenshot the replay of his ass getting a knockout foot to the face, print it on a shirt, and wear it to every future weigh-in.
kilgoth1
Can't wait for wearable tech. You could have a shirt playing the gif oh him getting knocked out on loop, lol.
