Clinching will influence the judges scorecard. Ducking and having your opponent punch big holes in the air wont. That's the difference
I'm not a Mayweather fan and I don't see a problem with it. Its not like he sits down for a long period, he has the skills to pull it off.
PBF hadn't fought in 2 years the guy has never had a history of coming in over the limit. Maybe he couldn't do it maybe he saw how Oscar come in drained against Pac who really knows? When he faces Pac and makes him look like he has no business in the ring with him you'lll have egg on your face. If you can't see the styles advantge PBF has there then there's no hope for you. But then agains this is the same guy who said Zoo would beat Pea whitaker.:-(
His elbows are illegal too. Both should be penalized. His elbow to the throat is worthy of a point deduction in most of his fights.
Like Hopkins and his tricks he'll do it until he gets warned for it. He's been warned for the elbows in a few fights before. In the Marquez fight he did much less leaning with the elbow and generally just used it for a quick push. Still, I'm also surprised that he isn't warned more frequently for it.
He didnt even try. And they changed the contract because of it. Also Guzman got **** from his own fans as too did Campbell for not making weight why is it PBF gets a Free Pass. Like JMM said he might as well fight Hopkins next. ****ing live with it. It was a Farce. And why couldnt Tszyu maybe beat Whitaker. Why. What because you a Arm Chair Expert think Pea is just to great. Stylistically Tszyu would love to fight any Southpaw no Matter how fast or how good defensively. Get a Clue you Nuthugger. If you feel it wasnt a mismatch you my friend need your head examined. Ive stuck up for Floyd and Love his Talent even i gave my Congrats to all you and PBF. What im pissed off at that Boxing Politics took over the fight. The weight issue is huge and for a Lightweight to be pretty much forced to sign against a Welterweight at the moment im ashamed of Boxing Politics. PBF was the one who took the adavantage's. And he would be dumb not to. But i will only say if he fights anyone next that is not MOSLEY COTTO or PACMAN. Im afraid it will be the biggest ***** move ever seen in the sport. FACT.
Marquez wasn't trying to hit him in the back of the head. He should've thrown those punches just to get Mayweather in that position, and then bang! a tomahawk to the head.
Of course, it's illegal. But if a fighter hits someone in the back of the head while they are in that position, they should be able to get away with it.
