Huggy- The "slightly" aggressive bear's legal problems.

(Sigh) again, if the ref doesn't call it then it's not a foul

That's the problem

Ok we've established Wladimir got away with it so legally it was a clean win for Wlad, right I KNOW that. But under the rules of boxing, is the ref SUPPOSED to do something? Was the ref in error here and was Wlad's holding in fact illegal with respect to the rules (as opposed to the ref)

Someone said others like Hearns held, sure. Muhammad Ali was the champion wrestler until Wlad's latest outing. Ruiz held like an octopus. And so on. But I've never seen anything quite as bad as the fight with Povetkin.

I just want to know whether it is in fact illegal, or merely a disgraceful tactic to avoid infighting.

Called or not called, illegal or legal..it's the only thing people will remember and talk about from that thing labeled a fight. That just makes it pathetic.

Marquess of Queensberry rule #2: No wrestling or hugging (clinching) allowed.

From the lack of any decent response it seems obvious that the clinching is legal and it will continue.
