I always liked the way the old time champions came out to the trumpet fanfare. Hoods up, heads down, hands on their trainer’s shoulders, their team around them, no celebrating with the audience, no making eye contact with anyone.
Personally, I hate the way fighters come out to jingles, dancing their way down to the ring covered in sequins. Fighters on their way to the ring should be full of pride, and menace. They should be swaggering, focused, scaring the shit out of everyone within a hundred yards. [/quote]
I’ve noticed that I usually do a lot better when I tell the DJ “I don’t give a shit, just play something.” I’ve gotten my ass kicked pretty hard a couple times when I come out with some semi-choreographed entrance to carefully chosen music.

Do the amateurs in the states walk out to music? The only time I can think of there has been music at a show I’ve boxed at was when I boxed against the army on one of their shows, and they had a small band playing a 10 second tune to announce their fighter. Other than that, I’m already practically in the ring by the time they are announcing the winner of the previous fight. Maybe I just haven’t noticed, and music has been playing somewhere, but noone has ever asked me if I want a tune to walk in to.
Around here everyone has a walkout song. They try to make a good show to sell tickets. Depending on the venue some are better than others. A lot of the venues are understaffed and you just listen for your music to know when to go out…unless three other dudes have the same tune…LOL seen it happen!
