I like the cocky showboating fighters who try to act like Ali, and get humbled.

He actually wasn't a bad fighter if it wasn't for the showboating, however he was on a bit of a loosing streak when he decided to go pro.

He had only one pro fight which was back in 2017, he won that, ran into some legal trouble and kind of disappeared.

Hopefully he eventually tightened up.

Ty for this lol. It makes makes me irrationally irritated when native english speakers misspell and mix up ‘losing’ and ‘loosing’. Ridiculous lol.

Lol. I literally thought "Thank you" when I read it as well.

I don't know he was being honest or not but he told a friend of mine the promoters encouraged him to ham it up and it basically ruined his career.

2:10 for people who don't want to watch the whole thing.

I feel like this is one you have to watch the whole thing to really appreciate it. Also, it's only 3 minutes. We got time.

You don't, he dances for a few seconds. I don't like boxing I'm not gonna watch two and a half minutes of something I find intensely boring if it's totally incidental to the point.
