When fighters smile or shake their head after getting hit with a good shot

[SlimTrae]

Sometimes a sign of respect?

I like when fighters that come to the ring with a menacing look, bully attitude receives an attitude adjustment.

I watched Toney vs Barkley yesterday. Iran: angry. 4 rounds later as the bell sounds he is all smiles.

Same with Jorge Luis Gonzalez vs Riddick Bowe. Jorge was angry as shit in the face off. Two rounds later, he was all smiles.

Those were smiles of humility.

Gonzalez usually had a big dumb grin on him most of the time. That cocky swagger of being some menacing boogy man. Bowe should be granted a holiday for the way he just demolished that hype job.

Nunn had a common smirk too. Thank you Mr. Toney

Spicoli-- not too many can appreciate what Bowe did to Gonzalez-- like we can
