Calvin Moody

Calvin Moody "boasts" 12 losses by disqualification amongst his 62 losses. At one point he had 4 DQs in a row! (It makes you wonder why promoters would bring him back.) Anyway, does anyone know the reason for some of these DQs? I wonder if he was an inveterate nut-puncher or unremitting cl...
