    Stalling penalty in boxing

    Anyone besides me think that fighters should get fined for stalling in fights?? Like excessive clinching that results in points taken away or spitting out mouthpiece a la corales-castillo

      There are already point penalties in boxing.

      No need for fines.

      I wish excessive clinching got more enforcement.

      But fining is going to far.

        What about fighters that are repeat offenders? Arthur abraham is notorious for complaining about low blows anytime he gets punched anywhere under the chest. There are fighters who low blow intentionally anytime they get hurt. Fighters whose entire style revolve around hit and clinch

          The point rule for holding needs to be enforced way more often.

            if the Clinch is mixed with some punches then I don't have a problem with it, guys like Ward, Hatton and Hopkins are good inside, so they are going to do what ever they can to get inside

            but some of your are FULL OF ****! When Hatton was clinching the hell out of Mayweather and the Ref was breaking it up, people was complaining about that but when Ward or Hopkins does it then it is a major problem and it is illegal

            so you can't have it both ways and you can have one standard for your favorite fighter and then different standards for other fighters

            You know your fighting Hopkins and Ward, you know they like to clinch...if your not prepared for that then SHAME ON YOU! Stop looking for the Ref to SAVE YOU and do something about those Clinches YOURSELF! Use your jab and footwork to keep distance between you and your opponent OR you can allow him to use his clinches and then make him pay for clinching your by punishing him inside...but I notice a lot of guys today in boxing have NO SKILLS INSIDE!
