Do you penalize fighters on your scorecard for holding?

edit

 

not really, not in terms of penalty. it does factor in though in how effective you are in neutralizing your opponents offense. however, if it is excessive it obviously reflects in how little offense they are putting forth and a fight is not won by spoiling

 

As much I think Dirrell is very talented and I want him to win the Tourney. He held way too much. I didn't really have a problem with his movement but his holding was too much.

 

I let the referee make the decisions when it comes to things like holding. If he deducts a point, then that is reflected on my scorecard. I judge based on clean, effective scoring, ring generalship, defense, etc.. I use the guidelines that judges are supposed to follow. I don't let me personal preferences play a part, as much as I can help it.

 

Not usually, thats the refs job.

 

Depends on what the other guy is doing. Most boxers hold at some point in a boxing match.

 

A fight is not won by spoiling? Try telling John Ruiz that (LOL).

 

:good A good analysis!!

 

Kind of what everybody else is saying. If he's doing it as part of a strategy, I don't feel it's my place to "penalize" a point (as in subract one from the 10-point-must) unless the ref calls for it. That's his job.

If he's holding instead of doing any boxing, then obviously it's going to be tricky for him to win the round, so I could penalize him in that sense.

 

If you do, you will appreciate Ruiz.

After he outclassed Holyfield people thought they could get away with it.

Ruiz is old school.

 

And quiet. You might go so far as to call him a Quiet Man.

 

Nah, that's the ref's job. Wish more refs would enforce the rules properly.

 

:good i penalize the fighter who lost the round, not whos style i didnt like. if the ref takes a point then so be it but thats not a judges job
