Comments Thread For: Prograis: [Haney Fight] Not Gonna Be A Clinch-Fest; Definitely Gonna Talk To Referee About That

[YGriffith]

How can you possible call an upset when you predict that the champion is going to win? It sounds odd to me.

I’m going based on the Vegas odds. Betting odds. They have Haney as a 4-1 favorite. Just because a fighter is a champion doesn’t mean he is automatically the favorite to win. That sounds even more odd doesn’t it? Anywho, Regis the Champion for the upset

[Robi13]

Agreed! On Draftkings a 50$ bet returns you 200$. I jumped on it last night! Hoping for a great fight!

Good luck!

I hope team Prograis is aware of how Jack Reiss handled clinching and head-butting during the Ward-Kessler fight.

its not legal at all. its actually rule 2 of the rules

~ THE MARQUESS OF QUEENSBERRY RULES ~

1. To be a fair stand-up boxing match in a twenty-four foot ring or as near that size as practicable.
2. No wrestling or hugging allowed.

every once in a while you will run into a ref that actually enforces the rules but most of the time they pretend like they dont know them to benefit the a-side fighter

Clinching is legal.

A clinch is not "hugging" or "wrestling".

Clinch is basically where the arms get tied up, nullifying an aggressive fighter.

That's different than Haney, or prime J'Leon "Hug Like I'm In" Love. Or Grabomir Clinchko.

In Haney's case, forget who it is, but someone on here even has a GIF where Haney straight up goes in for an embrace. THAT is not legal.

Too much interference from the ref is not good either like not giving both fighters time to wiggle their way out of a clinch. There's this ref I never liked just by looking at his posture of aiming to break at the slightest tie up, which makes it impossible for fans to see inside fighting.

Lets hope Huggies Haney get penalized for his constant hugging.

Well you can say what you want but you are the champion but you're also the B side in the Promotion....

We already know everything is stacked again you, so don't be expecting much fairness from any referee

When it's your belt on the line but you are second on the poster and they treat you as the B side, then they're telling you that they're coming to take your belt at all costs, not fair and square.

Better knock him out

clinching is literally the main component of wrestling...what do you think they mean by no wrestling? no doing stone cold stunners?

[h2k]

clinching is one of the the most important technique in boxing.
