Everyone complains about hugging and holding in the ring...

I thought it was a pretty good example for how to deal with holding by a fighter, more guys should pull that move with guys gripping them up.

I haven't got why more guys don't do that move it is damn effective.

But why don't the opponents...(those being hugged and held) do something about it?? what ever happened to not letting yourself be hugged and held?

how about some pushing? or some hitting in the back of the head or some kidney punches? I mean if the other person is gonna implement illegal tactics...why not fight fire with fire?? and let the other fighter pay the price for his tactics or he will stop doing it.....or better yet the ref would maybe start doing his job........

anyone???

I mean

You defend illegal actions in a sport by saying the opponent should counter with some illegal actions of his own. what kind of dumb fk are you?

Then you might get a really dirty fight like Rios-Chaves or Ward-Rodriguez.

Rios-Chaves was unwatchable.

We will never get a FOTY time fight if a fighter choose to hug and be dirty and the other doing the same instead of fighting it out.

It takes two to tango. Imagine Gatti being alittle gayish and chose to hug instead taking it on the chin or Ward retaliating, we would never have gotten Gatti-Ward.

This is the reason why the next generation of "pure" boxers inspired by Mayweather should seriously consider a career in MMA instead of boxing.

MMA allows and encourages the use of excessive hugging and embracing your opponent as part of the overall means to achieve victory.

so mayweather started clinching? this is the only generation of boxers who used clinching?
