Holding,Clinching, even a stiff arm under the ABC rules are violations, this is boxing not judo or aikido. The swatting of the opponents hands away preventing him from protecting the target area is dirty ( technically not cheating ) but whatever euphemism you want to apply ( slick, veteran-tactics ) don't make it fair-play.
Learn how to block, role ; parry or just move. I understand sometimes a opponent gets under you and his head may be coming up and one is forced to hold to avoid the head but Loma purposely feints jabs to get his opponents to go under his arms and from there he 'controls' the head -- its not by accident and when you employ that as part of your repertoire its cheating. Or like a mover that clinches as his main defense when pin against the ropes, always relying on the ref...I call that BULL****.
