    We all talk about Hatton and Ruiz holding a lot (and they do) but how many of you remember Henry Akinwande? Who was he fighting the time he got DQ'd because he was holding so much? :rofl Who else do you think hold too damn much?

    Yeah, and if my memory serves me correctly, Mills Lane was the referee. Ruiz - and King - are lucky Mills never reffed any of his fights against top competition, he would've gotten DQd every time out.

    Oh, and Mills wouldn't have fallen for those low-blow fake jobs in the Thunder, Holyfield II and Johnson fights, either!! :-(
