What are the rules for clinching?

[torosboxing75]

There's a difference between clinching and illegal holding

What mayweather was doing was illegal holding - grabbing opponent by both elbows so he can't throw

And what bayless was doing was not warning mayweather and he also broke up the fighters when a hand was free - this is clearly wrong

There weren't a high numbers of holds compared to brook vs porter but brook and porter could still work or break free, maidana couldn't especially early when I recall mayweather was illegally holding . Later on maidana did successfully prevent mayweather from illegally holding at times

Does anyone know if this is true?

and what is BU2S?

It's definitely true. And he was initiating the clinches by out reaching his own arms and moving forward to hold.
It's not like they were in such close quarters at the times he held .

He broke them a couple times when maid and had hands free and was throwing punches. It was an off night from a usually great referee. I guess it happens or Mayweathers camp really got in his ear pretty fight about any rough tactics and he just panicked every time they came together. He couldn't wait to dive in and break the action, it was comical at times.

Hopkins doesn't grab both arms

Overall that ppv was the worst ppv in the history of boxing

And bayless made it even more boring

And Floyd isn't to blame, he's supposed to follow instructions.

But that referring was atrocious and inexcusable.

I'm glad bhop is fighting kovalev on non ppv, it's good for boxing and good for the fans

It's on boxnation over here in uk

And Hopkins will smother kovalev at times, we expect this, he's gonna grab kovalev right arm and hit him with his own right to Kovalev's hip and body , and he won't even grab kovalev other times because fighting in close will be advantage for him ,
