How much clinching is excessive? What is the distinction with inside fighting?

good thread mate

i think dirrell was very negative and deserved deductions

the ward kessler fight was shocking that no points were deducted considering the clinching and headbutting

people will disagree with me on this but boxing is entertainment and fighters with unentertaining styles should be punished

. I agree that clinching leads to boring boxing.

However, in-fighting does not lead to boring boxing. There's a difference.

I agree, a fight full of infighting can be a very entertaining fight
