5 Times SHOWBOATING Went Wrong in Boxing

after another huge month of boxing we take a turn from fights that could be to look at a few mishaps from the past that serve as a lesson to both present and future fighters a swift reminder that as we know you don't play boxing and so unlike a through the leg dribble in basketball or a step-over in football there are a few pretty obvious reasons that most should avoid showboating inside the squared circle whilst Roy Jones rooster punch Ali's shuffle and Hammad's Lohan's all made for incredible viewing a short lapse in concentration for a lesser fighter could have devastating consequences when she did here we look at five high-profile occasions where the showboating went very wrong welcome to a motive PDF presentation we'll start with the most recent where we head to Leicester England a vacant WBO title bout that became a viral sensation for one clear reason Maxwell Maxwell and Sudhir II both entered the ring with almost identical ten and records in the early rounds the Frenchman seemed to be getting the better of Maxwell putting him down in the first and second surviving and early scare the Britt looked to regain some control though was seemingly on his way to a clear points loss that was however until the tenth and final round Sudhir he landed a clean few shots which led to careless showboating and dancing around the ring in pantomime fashion he had little hands chin exposed and with just 14 seconds to go Maxwell landed the shot of his career a night that echoed a brutal reminder to fight until the final bell and then it's not over until it's Oh [Applause] next we take a trip back 4 years ago to a night in Orlando Florida [Music] Felix beer dae-ho two years into his professional career and 14 and Oh at the time an Olympic quarter finalist who lost out the Lomo changer the Dale is not bad at all nice style talks up pretty good and with the warning signs of having ten knockouts already on his resume his opponent appeared to show little concern happy to trade with the Puerto Rican it made for an exciting matchup early off however only three rounds into the fight the gravity of the situation seemed to dawn on the Mexican landing more and more cleanly Verdejo took control avoiding a shot in one of those poker face Bluff moments Villanueva dropped his hands and taunted his opponent needless to say just five seconds later it came back to haunt him [Applause] some of you love and some of you hate him but you know what just like boys mayweather he evokes emotions eight months prior at the end of 2013 we revisit that unforgettable night in Texas Adrien Broner 28 and Oh looked to be on the path to superstardom however against the rugged and heavy-handed Argentinian came the rude awakening that many believed he needed December 14th we weren't about Maidana you know um I respect this coach I respect him as a fighter but December 14 mama beat his ass though swarmed from the opening bell Maidana put pressure on him immediately and in a moment of disrespect Broner taunted his opponent at the end of the first another gesture which would come back to haunt him later in the punishing to the body and head Maidana landed the left hook in the second that floored Broner for the first time in his career and despite seeming to recover mid fight round eight saw another looping left hook send him down knocked out twice yeah black power winning by unanimous decision came a satisfying victory for the Argentinian and watching Broner leave the ring without congratulation or being interviewed was clearly a huge reality check for the American okay you know it happens to the best of them in and it doesn't eat even as of right now I'm still one of the best moving back still we remind another 18 months to Quebec Canada at the Bell Centre in front of 15,000 fans the unbeaten bootay came in against Olympic bronze medalist Edison moraga you know I don't think they need to count loans and it's neat to make sure that they win the fight looking this sharper and smarter fighter bouquet looked comfortable during the first couple of rounds moving well and unloading flurries of punches where his Colombian opponent looked to land power shots frustrated and having little success me Rhonda tried to get into his opponents head taunting bouquet at the ending bell of the first been carelessly dropping his hands in the third and just like the fighters featured previously we know how this ends hands on hips stood up straight Miranda suffered a careless lapse of concentration and false confidence regaining stance and walking forwards he found himself immediately on the receiving end of a vicious left [Music] and did not see that coming didn't expect it yeah they love [Music] last up a night 15 years ago in California that saw the collision of two solid lightweights two fighters that had been beaten previously but still had a lot at stake in what was always destined to be an all-action fight the pace was high from the get-go despite landing some crisp flurries of punches early on Hayden saw himself fading in the middle rounds as Campbell the bigger puncher of the two looked to be capitalizing piling on the fresh searching in five looking to be on his way out Hayden was caught with a sickening body shot doubling over in obvious pain knowingly hurt kampl grew more and more confident with little return fire coming his way just 20 seconds later the American dropped his hands playing with his opponent and right on cue the Australian unloaded the biggest left hook of his career another instance where one single punch and split second reaction can completely flip a fight on its head played with his opponent who's completely confident with his hands down hit right on the chin with a perfect left hook and with five harsh reminders that boxing is not for the faint-hearted and that no matter the circumstances to fight to the final peg regularly we see fighters take matters into their own hands though with the continued revival of the flashy style displayed by fighters like lomachenko Kelly and Saunders comes the harsh reality of what could happen in a moment of negligence [Applause] [Music]
