Folks, yes, it was a boring fight because Donkey made it one. His overall strategy was to hit and hold. Many of you felt Bayless was on the TMT payroll due to Donkey's excessive holding.
First off, most of you do not know the rules. It is legal to grab the opponent's arm and punch with the other, you can do this as much as you want! What is considered excessive is if you continously hug or wrap your arms around your opponents arms.
Now, you may ask what is excessive, well, that's really up to the referees's discretion. What I saw Donkey do for the most part was constantly grabbing Maidana's arm but not the other. A fighter can do that as many times as he wants.
I think Bayless was somewhat lenient. If it wasn't a huge name like Mayweather instigating so many clinches, i think he would of had more to say about it.
