When they threw coins in the ring to show their appreciation of how great the boxing fight was.

Yes, avoiding the high risk low reward dark skinned Ortiz is about as old school as it gets (truth with sarcasm in case people don't get it)

"Old School" in regards to style....like @Master says Toney and Hopkins had older styles to them and fought often. I think Arturo Gatti would also fit in because he would have a gameplan and if the gameplan went south he'd just plow face first into whatever someone had for him and brawl.....you don't see that too much anymore but it's brilliant to watch as a fan.

Excellent

You didn't walk to a ring led by shitty rappers. You wore actual shorts and maybe high socks and they played Gillette razor commercials. Your version of YouTube or a stream was trading VHS tapes by the half dozen and guaranteed to be a minimum weeks old. Old school is seeing a guy with double digit losses introduced and still knowing it's a fight. When the talk of craft and record outshine the talk of purse bids and attendance stats.
