    Good question! Stick and move is not the same as back pedaling, or whatever, either (or so I thought) and for that matter, they all do it! Hell, Omar Sheika really got on my nerves with all that hugging last night, but the commentators never emphasized on that. However, when Joel did it in the final rds it was a crime

      Casamayor did hold alot but I'm not going to penalize him for it because it's not like he does it all the time. I like fighters like Casamayor who are willing to fight anybody no matter what.

        Hey, I'm totally with you on this one! My point was how the commentators kept putting him down for it, but when Sheika did it ALL NIGHT LONG it was ok

          Yeah I agree it was mostly Al Bernstein. He was the same one who thought Corrales dominated the first 9 rounds in thier rematch. Casamayor didn't win the last two rounds but he did get in several shots that Bernstein overlooked.

            I dont think Bernstein WANTED to see those shots. See, I had it taping cause I was watching UT play ball..anyway, I came in around rd. 8 and within 4 min's already figured out that they were very much 'pro-Castillo'..I had missed most of the fight at that point but that much was obvious. Matter of fact, I accused them of sounding like HBO (they didnt hear me though )

              Sorry guys but to me the fight was very boring, all they do is hug and dance and push and shove. None of them was seriously hurt. I see Casamayor doing more of the holding though, trying to tie up Castillo.
