    you should be able to cut the ring off, and time them when they potshot.

    Look the point is early on in the first round Cortez warned him three times in fact he actually told him " this isnt wrestling" and in rounds 2 3 and 4 it continued with out any points yet Castillo losses a point for hitting on the belt line which Cortez clearly stated that Hattons cup was a little high and that Castillo had the waste band area.
    anyhow they should have took a point but didnt

    'excessive holding' is subjective. just because refs have let **** slide doesn't mean there isn't room to interpret the strategy of throwing one or two punches coming in and then clasping your arms around the target as excessive holding. i'm not saying it's a dq-able offense, but a ref would be within their rights to call him on it. the appropriate way to do it would be to give a couple of warnings the first couple of times, then deduct a point if it kept up.

    If indeed Hatton's techniques are illegal, then it's up to the referees to take action during the fight.
    Yes, there was a warning for holding in the first round last night, but the ref was warning both fighters.

    You may not like Hatton's style, but it's proven very effective for him. But, is it illegal? It might be on the edge, but so far he's never been seriously penalized for doing it, so it's obviously not looked on as being against the rules.

    It's not as much holding as wrestling for position inside. Ruiz held.

    holding on after each individual punch shows just as much pussified fear of being hit as circling on the outside for 12 rounds. :nono

    Please. Hatton fights in a rough house style but he throws more punches in a couple rounds than John Ruiz throws in an entire fight. These must've been some pretty wicked holds to inflict that type of damage
