Holding and hitting

[RisAri0]

B-Hop is a master of this game. Hatton on the other hand seem to hug rather than hold.

Holding should not be allowed at all. I would like to see guys who hold as a method of staying in the fight be DQ'd after only one warning to set a standard...if someone is holding which is cheating they should get hit it is no question...but at the end of the day the guy holding should be DQ'd at once.

I think it should be allowed. It's a common part of the sport that has always happened. Watch older fight flims, they clinch just as much as they do now.

I think it's fine as long as it's not hard rabbit punches or kidneys punches, but to get them off it's ok. Hatton can be very boring do it, but the way he did it against Collazo was pretty exciting.

I don't mind when Hopkins does it.

I just hate when boxers' hold and use physical force to bully them around and not throw punches. John Ruiz is an example of that.

I love the holding and hitting, I get a very good laugh when B-Hop does it. I remember he was beating the **** out of Pavlik with it and Pavlik tried to respond and never could

It's against the rules and should be enforced more. It's a bad habit for some just like hitting behind the head is. It gives an unfair advantage when a dirty fighter fights a clean one and the ref doesn't do his job.

Lennox was awful with that holding and hitting and he got away with it more often than not.

[MANGLER]

It's a foul, but as long as it ain't a dangerous blow, no big deal.

[El Dominicano]

How about SRL, I don't know if there is a name for that move but he had a habit of holding your head down, spinning his right hand and whacking the opponent with a hard uppercut and then he'll try and follow with a left hook

[TheGreatA]

Arthur Abraham tried to use a Lennox Lewis uppercut (holding the opponents head with the left and throwing an uppercut with the right) on Lajuan Simon but he was quickly warned for it.

i have no problem with it

but a guy like hatton over does it, literally, it's really irritating listening how he compares his style to that of durans'

B-Hop is the worst.
