Run-clinch-dance-grab: at some point should fighters be DQ'ed?

I am so sick of fighters just dancing about the ring, throwing no punches, holding, clinching, grabbing, running, burning the clock, and not losing points over it.

Shouldnt there be a minimum number of punches a fighter needs to throw per round? 3 minutes = 180 seconds, I say if a fighter doesnt throw 30 punches a round he should lose 1 point, and if he continues to throw less than 30 for 3 consecutive rounds he should be disqualified.

Also if a fighter spends more than 30 seconds in clinches/hugs per round he should lose a point. And be DQ'ed if he does that for 3 consecutive rounds.

Hahahahhaa!

Fuck yes

Jesus Christ, cracking idea about losing the point

I remember when Akinwande got DQ'd for holding on Lennox for the whole fight. We need more of that!

lolol

I would really like to see something done about excessive clinching and holding. It gets out of hand in so many fights. Also, rabbit punching to the back of the head has become an excepted tactic. Some of these issues could easily be remedied if refs did their jobs.

Funny thing about that is Akinwande actually floored Lewis in that fight. But it was ignored due to all his hugging and holding.

You could argue that there is a skill in not letting people clinch you all fight.

It really doesn't happen that much, or at least no where near often enough to annoy me.

But there are some hugfests I have hated in the past.

Im not sure on this. I completely get what everyone is saying but what about the guys who come in real low to get on the inside and then throw their heads around using it as a weapon? Thats not exactly fair for the more skilled boxer.

Most fighters do it, remember getting annoyed at Vernon Forrest doing it against Shane in their second fight. Hatton did it a lot later in his career. It is up to the ref. Get Mills Lane type and they will not do it.

I think that the refs should let guys fight out of the clinch more. There is a skill to fighting inside, and some of that comes from maneuvering a guy into certain position through the clinch. The issue is that guys tie a fighter up and both just wait for the ref to break them. Watch John Ruiz, a notorious clincher, fight James Toney. James was the first guy I saw who didn't whine to the ref or just sit in the clinch with Ruiz and he would punish him inside. Watch old school fighters everyone says are ATGs like Robinson and Duran. They would clinch in close much like Ward and a Hopkins today. There is a skill involved when done correctly.

It's strange a guy like Hopkins is put on a pedestal, as a amazing fighter he is one of the worst fighters
for clinching and grabbing, truly horrible fighter to watch, but the refs love him they are to much
into licking his ass, than deducting him any points.
