Mosley's clinching

[AllEyesOpen]

First off I didn't really see excessive holding at all let alone anywhere near the level of clinching that Hatton has done of late.

Secondly AllEyesOpen I actually think that Mosley was trying to go for a KD in one of the later rounds when he tagged Collazo with a few excellent shots but then saw that Collazo wasn't going anywhere and decided to not blow his load and fight for the decision.

I know he was throwing some hard shots & combinations in those later rounds, but it just seemed to me when he landed a good hard combination that could have led to something(kd, stoppage), Mosley would clinch, which to me seemed counter-productive seeing that he had Collazo stunned a few times, that just how I saw it.

AFter watching the Hatton fight again and having the Mosley fight fresh... I do see where Hatton clinching sooo much.

I guess I was watching the Hatton fight in the beginning rounds and not being annoyed by clinches.

Yeah the second half of that fight Hatton went ridiculous with the clinching.

No way did mosely come anywhere close to clinching like Hatton does
no chance..
Hatton does it to spoil the action and to prevent himself getting knocked out
Mosely uses it to his gameplan and throws shots in and out of clinches

Exactly.....and in other countries clinching isnt that big of a deal.

I have 97 times where the ref had to break up the Hatton fight.
I also have 94 times where Hatton purposely tried to clinch. (Urango did a tiny bit of clinching too)

I have 70 times where the ref had to break up the Mosley fight
I also have 58 times where Mosley purposely tried to clinch.

SO there we go... It is a 27 number difference but my thought that Mosley did clinch a lot is true. It is not close enough to compare the fight to Hatton's though.

Thats 6 times per round... Not 2 like Sin said.

I'll get you all proof because you guys are just blind to it because Mosley is respected.

Yes he clinched a bit and he was warned at least once I think more, didnt see it as that big of a deal tho cause many times Collazo would still wing punches

I guess it didn't seem like that much cause it was thoughout the fight, Hatton was clinching mostly in the second half of the fight which made it seem like alot more, & i think it would be more like 36, cause it was 58 attempted clinches for Mosley against 94 for Hatton.

Mosley clinches, but pushes off and keeps punching and slipping....he doesn't hug/****** his opponents...Hatton throws one punch and hugs like he hasn't seen his child in 10 years
