Fighters touhing gloves during and between rounds...

[ElTerribleMorales]

only time IMO that it's understandable for a fighter to touch gloves other than the start and end of a fight is if A) there was an accidental foul and basically trying to squash it or B) it's a close hard fight or round and you just do a tap to acknowledge or give props to each other for a tough round, I've seen it in a couple of even high pace fights

Remember Camacho refusing to touch gloves in the last round against Haugan and lost the fight because of the ref took a point away from him. Crazy.

Yeah the fight would of been a draw if I do recall... Fucking bullshit man if a fighter doesnt want to touch gloves thats his choice a ref shouldnt try to enforce it, this is not the nfl or basketball.. this is the hurt business. Not everyone wants to touch gloves with someone who wants to knock your head off.

This dude in front of me is trying to take my head off, dude wants to take my livelyhood... I could even die because of this guy.. There is no way and no time for me to give my opponent props for doing a job on me.

I agree that a light tap is cool in a case of an accident foul but i think it's ridiculous to put yourself in unnecessary danger by offering your hands too often..

Excessive glove touching is a HUGE annoyance to me. You can be a nice guy AFTER the fight when your work is done, but a fight should be all business.

Excessive glove touching is for soft minded people and indicates weakness. There is no reason why anyone should touch the glove of a man who is trying to hurt you with it. Its stupid and unecessary.

You look all the ATG fighters such as Duran, liston, robinson and even the media darling Leonard, all these guys had a mean streak and they never doid excessive glove toyching.

I think it also has to do with the era we live in. people are softer nowadays, even the boxers.
