Hate referees who don't deduct points for it. It's not a boxing skill it's a freaking MMA. I know cause Ali and Bhop did it, people act like it's inside fighting. It's pure garbage.
People justifying clinching cause they like their fighters - Hatton fans, Wlad fans, Andre Ward fans, Bhop fans and so on and so forth.Originally posted by 4CornersKid View PostWhether or not you like it, clinching is a part of the game and it's been around for years. Since you hardly actually get in trouble for it during the fight, I say use it to your advantage if you want to.
Now, excessive clinching is another story. Points should indeed be deducted for it.

Just imagine all the exciting fighters becoming clinchers. Marquez the clincher, Pacman the clincher, Hitman the clincher, Sergio the clincher, Morales the clincher, Gatti the clincher, Roy Jones the clincher.
Just imagine these guys doing what Bhop is doing and has been doing, what Ward is doing, what Wlad has been doing, what Berto has been doing, what Khan has been trying to do, what Ruiz was doing, what Holyfield was doing, what Lennox was doing

Nonito sucking as of late but then they don't want to fight Rigo cause he is boring. More like I don't want to take a loss. I hate Mosley all I want but he fought Vernon and Winky when nobody else would, mad respect for that. What's worse these days is that the Biased Media is brainwashing idiot fan boys to buy into their concept that Rigo doesn't deserve a fight with Nonito, complete and utter BS!
