Andre Ward made his living holding and hitting low and I don't think many fans would call Andre a fan friendly fighter. Ward was an undefeated, former gold medal champ and as Floyd said, "The man can't put no assis in seats."

You’re describing a different sport.

It’s called “first to the testicles wins”

Tyson Fury holds and hits, Headbutts, uses the forearms and elbows, wrestles, leans on necks and backs and trips up the legs and people praises it as skillful so you might as well call it All legal!

Who in the hell would be a pro boxer if his opponent could hold him and hit him in the balls as much as he wanted to?

Because that stuff hurts and is annoying. Even in the waistline and hipbone area. I used to hate getting punched in those spots when I would spar regularly.

Exactly. A hard shot to the hip dropped me once, I didn�t even know what happened.
