nothing wrong with clinching here and there

but when u start doing it after every time u let a shot off, its too much

throw in leaning and elbows

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.

Answer the question for me someone please!

Why should clinching /holding be allowed

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.
