Dirty Boxing: This has to stop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wnq2-hGr1g

Check out this video.

I like to watch boxing skills not spoiling or dirty tactics.

But here are some examples of the dirty fighting that some boxers used.

Hatton said once that it is not a tickling contest but it is also not MMA.

Rules are there to be followed.

Some familar faces in the clips, some pop up more than once.

OK, I haven't opened it. No doubt Floyd appears in it and Manny doesn't.

Well Floyd is caught doing some dirty boxing, Manny is a victim of dirty boxing on more than one occasion.

But it is a good vid, enjoy

Someone merge this with the Floyd thread, please.

Why, Do you think Floyd is a dirty boxer?

Gold star for Azania.

This seems like a serious topic for discussion. Just because D4 posted it, does everyone feel the need to try and derail it into Manny/Floyd. He hadn't mentioned either fighter yet.

From the sound of the video he has. This is the thread he wanted to write: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A78622266

Possibly the dirtiest fighter ever, Fritzie Zivic, penned this little masterpiece :

If all you're doing is having another cheap pop then you're an even bigger idiot than I had previously thought.

Posts a subject about dirty boxers with a video that shows floyd doing something dirty and manny as the victim of some dirty boxing. Hmmmmm... I wonder where this is intended to go.

If you all want to miss out on a great video with plenty of talking points then it is your loss.

You recognised on the old board that you had a problem with your reputation preceding you, it was one of the reasons you left. Seems like you have created the same situation on here D4.

Refs need to take a tough stance when rules are broken.

It the video we have seen sometimes a ref would not dock points or even warn the other fight and that would just make the fighter receiving illegal blows retaliate in an illegal way too.

Cracking piece Windy cheers.

You're welcome, Galveston.

Doesn't anyone agree refs need to take a tougher stance when the rules get infringed upon.

All we agree on is that your anti-Floyd obsession needs nipping in the bud and yet again, you've tried to showhorn him and Manny into a thread under the guise of a completely different agenda.

You fool no-one and annoy pretty much everyone.

The Mods' lenient stance towards you should be readdressed as it's clear you haven't heeded any of their warnings and are simply trying to find loopholes with with to further subject us to your tiresomes scribblings.

How many more times are they going to warn you about your actions before they themselves take action and ban you for a month or two?

Well said Dave.

Please don't attempt to tell the mods how to do their jobs.

The only rules I've seen broken on this thread are those criticising the mods

You haven't watched the video then?

We all know rough and tumble goes on - it's part of the sport. The video is merely an attempt at you-know-who propoganda. It didn't need the video link as we all know what a low blow/elbow etc looks like.

Apologies buddy, but perhaps you should trust the boards opinion as we've had 2 years of this. We know what he's like and what the underlying current of this is. By all means PM Windy (ex 606 leg-end) to ask his views on it in terms of what the underlying message is from the article.

I have locked this thread.

coxy - I'm at work so no, I haven't watched the video. As I'm at work I also don't really have the time to keep deleting all the childish empty posts that people were making.

I'm also quite well aware of what the boards opinion is.

The fsct remains that D4 didn't break rules. Others turned this into a manny/floyd thread and others criticised the moderators. That is why the thread was locked
