Have we forgotten holding and hitting is ILLEGAL?

I mean this fight was in the U.S. after all where they actually enforce the rules on both guys. What Ricky has done his entire career is illegal. Punches do not count when you are holding and hitting. None of that **** is scoring blows. The judges saw that last night, but the Hattonites apparently never had to learn how to really score a fight since Ricky spent most of his career in England where he got away with it. I told my friends who were all excited that Hatton had won at best 2 rounds. The judges confirmed it. Hatton got rolled. All is as I said and now I'm a boxing god to them even though I only said what any reasonable boxing fan would.

1) one-sided fight
2) holding and hitting isn't scored as legal blows
3) Hatton has no boxing ability whatsoever

I mean complaining about a ref for enforcing the actual rules of the sport is a new low for me. That's like complaining about a ref who doesn't let a guy throw low blows. But low blows are a part of my strategy! LOL! Never seen anything like this. Please go cry off the boards for a while, guys.

JW, but would that have any effect on his low compubox scores as well?

[DiegoFuego]

probably. I mean when I watch a fight and see a guy hold a guy against the ropes with one hand and hit the guy in the body with the other hand (as Oscar did to Floyd), that **** does not register in the head as scoring blows. it might be effective, but it doesn't help you win the round. if hatton is holding floyd and hitting him with left hooks, those blows don't count. that's how boxing works. i can't believe some of us don't know this, yet we pretend to score fights? I thank God 5 times a day that the guys on this board aren't official boxing judges.
