More fighters need to learn how to defend against it. Murray holds a lot, GGG used his head to maneuver inside when Murray held, and Martin didn't know what to do at that point, even looking to the ref for help when his holding didn't bail him out thus rendering his holding useless.
The part that really sucks though, is that if fighters take it in their own hands to nullify the holding, if they're fighting a high profile fighter in his backyard, with a favorable/corrupt ref, then the ref will just warn and eventually penalize him for his effort and let the home town boy get away with murder. Pathetic.
Still though, if you know you have a fighter in your division that holds, you've got to be smart and develop your own tactics against it.
