    So in the rule book it says.....

    That you can not excessively clinch.....


    So why do fighters like Paulie M, John Ruiz, Ricky Hatton, Shane against Margs, and others never get any fouls or points taken away for this???

    I know that holding will happen, but when you make holding a part of your game plan, that is just going to far.....

    Hatton vs Tszyu - Shane vs Margs - Paulie vs Hatton - Ruiz vs Anyone - Paulie vs Anyone.....

    I hate this part of boxing.... Does anyone feel the same way as I do???

      You're absolutely right. This is what turns off so many people who dont normally watch boxing but finally tune in to a fight. (why are they holding so much??)There was a recent fight I think where the ref stepped in early...oh yeah the Berto/Collazo fight that showed what happens when a good ref puts an end to that **** early. If he handnt done that, that fight wouldnt have been close to as good as it was cuz Berto wouldve been happy to clinch all fight.
      I hate it too and ultimately they either have to start enforcing that rule or we just have to hope we get lucky and get a good ref in there like Steve Smoger to stop that **** from the beginning.

      btw Steve Smoger is the best ref in the biz hands down.

            It's priceless, and it's the reason I cant stand Hatton anymore. Because he says the same ****** ****.

              Thats how I feel..... Boxing is about using angles.. Punching... Defense....

              When they start holding time and time and time again..... I mean ****... FIGHT dont hug and hit.... It is one thing that really annoys me..... I love Bernard Hopkins.... But him also.. Especially against Winky... I mean come on....

              They need to enforce the rule rather than forget about it.....

                  It also says you can't use elbows or duck below the waist... but for some reason Floyd still does it...

                    It was pretty confusing to see Hatton getting held by someone else the whole fight.
