I'm no boxer, but I have been in a few fights in my life and I never did get cocky while fighting.
As skinny as I was, I had to stay focus on what I was doing. Heck most of my fights were with bigger guys than me. I didn't care how big they were. I was more concerned with the smaller guys..
After seeing this video, the guy at 2:16 is a perfect example of not staying focused on the game plan.. He was wanting the other guy to hit him, so that is exactly what he got.. Ask and ye shall receive... Careful what you ask for!!
Now Uzzy on the other hand at 3:11, he was more of a dancer. He did have some good moves though, I'll give him that.. LOL.. But at 3:44, his dancing for the night was OVER...
The last fight between Ricardo Mayorga and Tito Trinidad was a classic. It was on heck of a showcase, for both fighters!!

Dude at 2:18 in the black and white vertical stripe shorts, was doing his glory dance as he knocked his opponent to the canvas.
Little did he know, that he was going to be used as a punching bag later on. That's why you don't celebrate to early.. Maybe he learned his lesson..
From what I have gathered in these videos, is when a fighter shakes his head or throw their hands out as if, that punch didn't hurt. It really did...
Or if they start to showboat, as if they know that they are going to lose, they put on some kind of show anyway, instead of getting totally embarrassed.
I'm not 100% sure, but that's what I see.
Well folks, I'm going to say just like Superman said to TopDog in the last fight of this video,, Good Night....
I hope these videos were entertaining to you all, as it was for me!!!
Thanks For Viewing....
Getting cocky exposes boxers to needless risk and can cause them to lose fights, as your videos illustrate. Losing fights costs the boxers money, so it's irresponsible and stupid to do this. We also see this in MMA.
If a fighter is going to behave his way, he should do it before or after the fight so that it doesn't cause him to lose (though I prefer that he show good sportsmanship after the fight rather than act like a jerk).
