Hopkins gets heat for holding. It is one of the reasons I gave Calzaghe the win in their fight.

Holding is a tactic that makes sense to employ if the boxer is on shaky legs and at risk of being knocked down. However, it is very boring if used strategically like Hopkins uses it.

How are rounds scored again? What are the criteria?
