    Yes, Mosely did hold Margarito a lot, I forgot about that.

    However, Berto was holding to excess and his corner admitted it was a part of his strategy.

    Mosley put on a clinic above what Berto did and against a much more talented opponent, so he didn't rely on clinching as advertly as you make it sound.

    In other words what other people feel or think is pathetic to you. Got it.

    There is a difference in clinching and holding.

    Berto is boring and overrated. His best fight was Collazo and I scored it for Collazo.
