This I say ! Manny is partly to blame.. the boxing organizations and referee are the real problem.( They not enforcing the rules that are right there in black and white to be enforced ) .. Manny knows he can teach his fighters to do this and get away with it because he knows the foul is rarely enforced,, now the by product is A boxing mismatch. I am saying mismatch in that the Tall fighter will use the ref to get his desired distance via holding and then of course immediate referee interference as the ref swiftly separates the two fighters . , and thus will win an easy DEC. boring as all hell ! and unjust .. Instead of breaking the two fighter the ref should say “ this is your first warning , no more holding , now fight out of the clinch “!
