And Brannon at the time was a ranked and undefeated fighter. Let's not forget he was the first (and really only) fighter to go an entire round without getting hit (remember the guy had him in a corner and still couldn't touch him?). When he fought Toney he feinted him and when Toney tried it back he popped him. How do you top that?
Against Brannon, Jones was in mid combination, stepped back urging the ref to stop it, the ref said no and Jones just continued the combination and Ko'd him.
For me that was better than the hands behind the back Ko and the Rosster posing against Toney combined. It was sheerly brilliant.

I don't know about showboating but seeing Gavilan throw those bolo punches was always cool!
