Do you penalize fighters on your scorecard for holding?

everybody should take a clinic or a small course on judging it will help you and change the way you see fights..

:hat

 

if it's excessive, and warned then yes!

 

No, and you're not supposed to. That's the ref's job, not the judges.

 

As a judge, it's not your call to "penalize" for excessive holding for any reason whatsoever. However, as a judge, you can use it to sway your vote as to who won the round (categorically, I'd put this under ring generalship, and it could be used in your favor or against you).

 

yeah that was ridiculous.dirrel held way to much

 

Dirrell ran, held, fell down on canvas and complained.

Why did Dirrell fake an injury? To get the fight in his home town, which he almost did. Detroit is as good as his hometown and he knows it. Dirrell will run, hold, fall down on canvas, complain and depend on his judges to give him the decision, if he does not get knocked out, but he does not have to fight at all, all he has to do is run like Hell and his judges will give it to him. He knows that. He has to cheat.

 

And how would you feel about that if Dirrell was white?

 

Your insults will not work on me. Now go and try to intimidate a child. I do not care about what you think. I know when a fighter cheats and Dirrell ran, held, fell down on canvas and complained. Looks like we know why he faked an injury too.

You don't like the truth do you?

 

Don't think you would like my so-called "real" opinion either.

Look at all the prejudice against Euro fighters. They are the underdogs, always hated to the extreme. This started when Klitschkos won championships.

Arreola Vs. Minto on HBO? Yet, no Vlad/Chambers on USTV at all. I had to get video of Euro fights in the past after reading out right lies and proven so. That is what makes me so damned angry.

Which fight would you rather watch?

 

It's an ugly part of the sport...

 

Vlad is fighting Chambers, the #1 American heavyweight. Shouldn't that fight be shown on USTV? I am a citizen of planet earth. It is called the heavyweight champion of the world, not of America. Do you hate Emanuel Steward for training Vlad? How about Lewis? He was threatened and called a traitor for training Vlad you know.......
