Would someone like to explain to Headshots pushing an opponents head down is illegal.

Then a piano fell on my head.

Consequences!

[HeadShots]

pushing an opponent's head is not the same as wrestling.

wrestling basically stops the actual boxing for like 20 seconds until the ref breaks it up. leading to holding and hitting etc.

when a person like Ward throws 5 hugs a round.... basically more than half the round is spent in the embrace.

the energy used to wrestle probably exceeds the energy to actually box for both boxers.

that is a huge difference to a shove which is a micro second of shot setting.

wart should be allowed to headbutt his opponents since he can't crack an egg with those pillows he has for fist

So now you agree it's illegal?

When have you seen a fighter push and shove someones head down for a microsecond?

It usually results in holding and the ref having to break it.

The energy used to support someones body weight on your neck/back is a lot more than it is holding.

Is it just me, or is pushing an opponent's head down not explicitly considered a foul....now ducking so your head is below your opponents belt-line is...funny how the tactics Ward uses are explicitly laid out as fouls.

No. We were discussing this.









Which HeadShots said wasn't illegal.

[Real King Kong]

Just the way he was describing it, sounds like he was talking about using an extended hand to control or steer the opponent's head.

[HeadShots]

No. We were discussing this.

lmao kovalev is trying to control ward's head in the clinch. so ward can't hold and hit.



ward is the one with the extended arms to hug. simply moving the head does not cause clinching. it's Ward that's clinching. get it in your head you idiot.

Kovalev is already pushing down Wards head before Ward reaches out anywhere. It's clear as day that Kovalev is the one fouling.

You've done nothing but embarrass yourself.

It's OK for you to admit you're wrong and learn from your mistakes.
