Fights that a particular fighter wouldn't of won without being able to hold..

Tysu Hatton !

 

Ali-Frazier 2

The ref allowing Ali to hold Joe & grab the back of his neck had a massive influence on the fight. In Manilla the ref warned Ali straight away & we saw a very different fight.

 

:roll: Here we go. How about every single Hopkins fight except Pavlik?

Any random John Ruiz fight.

 

Technically, Molina didn't hold Kirkland. He punched, then fell in and smothered Kirkland. Much the same way Wlad does. When I think of holding I think of actually grabbing the other guy, like Hatton, Hopkins, Ruiz, as mentioned above. ymmv.

I actually think Wlad would have lost by tko/ko to Peter in their first fight, had he not been able to hold so much. Very effective for him that fight though.

 

Brilliant. That shows what I said. Molina would throw, then fall in on Kirkland. When I think of holding, I think of motherf*cking Holding. Like an older Ali used to do, or Hatton.

 

Oh, ok. He did hold Kirklands hand every round.

 

Hatton's main attack is hold.
