Part of the problem is that both fighters often hold.
It's the little secret agreement that fighters make during a fight as Teddy Atlas calls it.
Were both tired so I'll hold your right arm and you hold mine and we'll both rest for just a sec or two till the ref breaks us.
When only one fighter holds it's more obvious and usually results in warnings and points or in extreme cases, Henry Okinwandi, a DQ
What about Peters posting,hitting behind the head, and holding behind the head? Holding kills a fight, but a 250lb guy REPEATEDLY clubbing a guy smack on the brainstem could kill the fighter! I need to read the WBC rules and see what it actually says! anyone with a link? or pro boxing official rules in general regaurding fouls?
