I haven't seen the fight yet so I won't comment on that.
But I do dislike excessive clinching. If you're hurt, I can somewhat accept it as a pure, desperate survival tactic (though if it gets too much, the fighter should still be warned). But when it's a pre-fight tactic and happens non-stop, I dislike it heavily. For one thing, it makes for a ****ty fight. It's horrible to watch.
Holding and leaning is against the rules, generally accepted if a fighter is in trouble or taking big shots, Wlad whole defence is based around it and uses it as a strategy to tire his opponents. His fight strategy is to break the rules that's just wrong and should be stopped.
