          Nothing compared to Agbeko pulling Mares' head in their first fight.

            Illegal veteran tactic. Hopkins and Holyfield are still P4P the best at using illegal veteran tactics to get any leverages in their bouts.

              excessive clinching and pushing of the head is quite annoying and should be penalized more

              i'd much rather watch fighters go forehead to forehead fighting like bulls on the inside rather than "oh shit im horrible at fighting on the inside so im gonna clinch or push his head down!"

                  in the first round alone there were over 15 clinches. Everytime they clinched, Wlad leaned into the shorter man---thus discouraging him from trying to fight on the inside...then Wlad starts sticking that jab in his face, keeps him on the end of it, discourages him- then out with the right hand, and goodnight.

                  Personally, i have no problem with these tacticss

                    well if you are trying to get inside your head has to come with you. you can't just leave your head behind. mormeck wasn't touching wlad with his head. that's just an excuse to defend illegal tactics. oh well he might have headbutted me but he didn't. making your opponent uncomfortable is not illegal.
