    How much holding does a US audience accept before they turn against their own guy? I guess no-one wants to see a repeat of Dirrell's ballet.

    When Americans hold it is counted as 'ring generalship' iirc :lol:

    802 punches thrown, 301 landed. You don't do that in ten rounds if you hold a lot. I thought the accusation against Vitali was that he ran like a little girl? Between running and holding, how did he have time to throw 80 punches per round?
