Re: Holding and Hitting: is it EVER enforced??
Some fighters have made a name for themselves for holding like John Ruiz and I spose Hatton as he got near the end of his career. I think a referee has to let it go on a certain degree for infighting, the worst case is Cortez in the Mayweather/Hatton fight as soon as they came close to any in fighting Cortez jumped in and split them up and it made for me a horrible fight to watch.
Cotto is a fighter I wish would learn to clinch and hold a bit because he never does it, against Margarito it could have helped him.
Good call on the Mayweather clinch when Mosley landed the right hand as much as it pained me to see it it was a piece of defensive genious on Floyds part.
