How come nobody online likes to touch gloves?
 
Before the start of the match, I try to show good sportsmanship by offering to touch gloves, but my opponents just either ignore the nice gesutre or they go for the cheap shot.

Because most people online don't care about sportsmanship - they just want to stack their record and nothing else.

I never touch gloves unless the other guy does it first - otherwise expect a cheap shot.

I put my glove out from the corner because I got rocked too many times trying to touch against randoms. I've found that a lot of people online do this as well.

I do it out of the courtesy online, but IRL I personally dislike the touching of gloves at the start of every round. Prior to matches, generally fighters are brought to the center of the ring and are given an opportunity to touch gloves. I just don't like the redundancy of doing it twice. If they aren't brought to the middle of the ring like in UFC, I think it's ok to doing in the first. Now people get upset when you don't touch gloves, which I find foolish.
