The Holding Needs To Stop

[deejd]

I mean, HBO's crew was praising Molina all fight long... that's not boxing. There's a difference between boxing and holding/smothering. It looked like MMA inside a squared circle.

Kirkland can be outboxed. I could see Lara taking Kirkland to school, but Molina would've been eaten alive if he had a point deducted early. Smoger wouldn't let all that hugging go on.

This is one fight I would of been ok with a robbery...who wants to watch Molina anyway. Hugfest with no power, something like a watered down version of Ricky Hatton without the aggression

I don't know how people are complaining about the stoppage.

In my opinion the ref did Kirkland a disservice by allowing Molina to hug Kirkland close all night.

So he benefited from the crap ref all night too late to complain when he gets robbed by the same ref.

You got to take the bad with the good.

the ref ******, he should have warned molina and even taken points. but he didn't so we can't fault molina, although I have no interest in watching that.

but u love hopkins fighting like that,But not cool when molina does it?

I would have loved to see Kirkland ko that holding faggot Molina. He was well on his way to. Molina looked like a sloppy mess in the 9th and 10th.

You didn't see his last fight with Margarito? All he did was hit and hold. He did not do it before but now he is.

cotto????????????????

Oh so you are a hopkins fan? Hypocrisy at it's finest.

That fight was disgusting on Molinas part.

Kirkland was on his way to stopping Molina anyways.

Glad Kirkland got the justified stop even if it wasnt for holding.

Agreed. Khan lost based on the holding. No reason why Molina shouldn't have lost the same way

[Boxingtech718v2]

I never want to hear a mexican complaining about holding again.
