Should Wladamirs Holding tactics be allowed?

atsch

If you think Wladimir holds a lot, and that he was holding a lot during the Mormeck and Thompson fights, you need to get your eyes checked.

 

In his most clingy fight Wlad only clinched on average 11% of the time.

Compared to an other ATG, he really doesn't clinch a lot.
But it's probably also because not many dare to get in range of his right.

 

:good

Holding is a part of boxing!

 

As we all know Wladamir has been known to continuously hold especially when anyone gets close, putting his weight down on smaller fighters.

Even wrestling fighters to the ground, watch Mormeck and thompson fight.

We saw David Hayes tactic to overcome this pressing in falling to the floor so the referee can start again.

Now please look at the Tyson v Lewis fight where the referee continuously ensures Lewis does not hold tyson continuously, he even warns Lewis, now should referees take this type of approach.

Ive seen a lot of fighters complain that Wladamir is using illegal tactics, watch Lamon Brewsters interview on youtube where he has an interview with ellie, he shows dirty moves in boxing and Brewster says Wlad continuously puts his weight.

My question is should Wladamir have been disqualified in the Thompson fight and Momeck fight, I know in USA some of the referees are strict in ensuring fighters dont use these dirty tactics, please once again watch the Tyson Lewis fight, watch the referee.

Im quiet new to boxing, what are the rules on holding, should wladamir be disqualified or at least warned, maybe thats why he doesn't fight in other countries other than Germany etc.

DOES WLAD LAWFULLY HOLD?
i would like to put a poll on this question but i dont know how to.

 

Huh? Holding is specifically against the rules.


Of course Wlad does it too much, but it's also partly because so many of his opponents go "inside and then down." (like Mormek) - This gives Wlad only 2 choices: Pull back hard & waste energy, or drop his arms and look like he's holding.

So sometimes he's guilty, but often times it's not his fault.

 

In professional boxing holding is a part of it. Nothing wrong how Wlad uses it.

And Wlad does not won because of holding. He knocks his opponents out or win on points because he punched the most.

 

His fight vs jmm was a disgrace

 

16 clinches in 1st round to many against so over matched opponent!!! Dont tell me Momeck clinched because even if he wanted to he cant clinch if Wlad wants to keep him away with a jab, but that wasnt the case so there was 16 in one roundatsch

 

holding should be banned. its supposed to be against the law, yet its so rare people lose points for it.

Its unfair that boxers win fights by winning fights on the outside, then tying fighters up when they get in close.

Fans that are for it, its usually because there favourite boxers do it.

And don't get me started on how boring it can make fights when too much clinchng is going on.

 

who is anwering yes in the poll. I thought holding is illegal

 

the 2nd rule of boxing is no holding, letting wlad hold is ridiculous.

 

2nd rule of boxing: no holding.
