      But I watch boxing for the statistics at the end of each match. I guess you could call me the world's foremost fan on the subject of Compubox.

      Boxing should be all about percentages. Real boxing fans such as I, we really know boxing unlike the fake fans. Real boxing fans like us are more interested in the sublime, subtle statistics and percentages where low punch output, yet high connect percentage, and plenty of clinching and hugging to stifle an opponent's opportunities is the real meat and potatoes of the sweet scientific pugilistication.

        In Mexico they hate clinching and holding and won't put up with much of it. They do enforce the rule there but they really don't have to because few Mexican fighters clinch or hold much. They know the fans don't like it. The great Mexican fighters are punchers, not wrestlers. You won't see Rios, Santa Cruz or the Marquez brothers doing much holding. They are too busy throwing punches.

          Mexicans DKSAB.

          That's why Nacho is Money May's biggest hater. Nacho is the president of the Official Floyd Mayweather Hater Fan Club.

            I still laugh at the sames guys that call Mayweather a runner also call him a hugger/clincher. Which one is it then?

              Floyd fans would just say it's a caveman style of boxing.

                Holding should only be allowed when a guy is in serious trouble and looking to survive.. It shouldn't be allowed as a tactic

                  Yeah man. He's awesome at both! That's what makes him so great. Running and Hugging is the way my boy Money May manages to throw the least amount of punches in all of PPV boxing, yet score the highest connect percentages.

                  Let's school these cats on what the true exciting boxing is!

                      When a fighter is close enough 9 out of 10 times Floyd will hold them
                      They get separated then he runs
                      Is it that hard to understand?
