Saw a fight in San Jose in 2002, one boxer had almost a superhero suit on, ribbons, tassels, glitter everywhere and the flashiest shoes I've even seen.

He pranced around and preened endlessly, it was a show all its own, HUGE lead up to the fight.

He took two punches, but he certainly was flashy and noticeable laying there unconscious.
