    The Holding gotta Stop

    Holding in a fight annoys me to be honest. When a boxer is seriously hurt and then holds on for dear life, that's fine. But what John Ruiz, Wladimir Klitschko (just like Lennox Lewis) and Nikolay Valuev are doing is illegal, annoying and just not what a fighter is supposed to do. The referees should do their job and force the boxers not to hold.

            You better stop. Otherwise I will report this post.
            Wladimir was even holding the small featherfisted Chris Byrd. So check your argumentation before arguing - oh, you did, that's why you are getting personal, you have got no point but have to defend Klitschko with your life.

              Against Byrd, Wlad did some holding in the third, other than that, he beat the living **** out of byrd. Ruiz is the only boxer i can think of that holds far too much. he must clinch 10 times a round.

                  10 times is the least he ever holds in the round.
                  It is usually 13 to 15 times.

                    But the rules say it is not allowed to hold or wrestle. If it was allowed to do it, I would not complain about it.
