This video shows the proper way to hold down side control using tightness instead of heavy smashing. Use the cross face to prevent him from turning into you, stay on the balls of your feet, and keep center of gravity very low.

Maintaining Mount and Technical Mount
The mount position is sitting on the torso below the shoulder line. Your legs must be beneath one or two arms. You can also use the technical mount as the opponent moves onto his side by redistributing your weight among your knee, foot, and hip.

Maintaining Good Back Control
To maintain good back control, you must ensure a good seat belt and a good chest-to-back connection with your shoulder glued to the back of the neck. When the opponent is trying to escape, keep a good chest-to-back connection regardless of the configuration of the hook.
