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

[Andre]

Once you know a fighter is a spoiler like that you should be able to change tactics a bit too and force them to think otherwise. Seems like fighters should be taught how to drop gravity and twist out of a hug attack as they go, Switch and punch up the gap right as they go to grapple, Or attack their lead arm a millisecond before the head, bang bang disrupt their timing, even step back for room and over hand bombs right as they try to hold.
They going to rethinking it if you catch them hard enough.

Fuck continual grabbers anyway theres always an accidental knee to the nuts as you walk forwards .. Flip em upside down land em on the their head go down with them land on the fukker the ref will be even more confused if he is that stupid already.

Andre, I completely respect your opinion on the subject. Isn't it very difficult to stop the clinch if it happens immediately after a jab or a one-two? It's possible to get out of the clinch in the ways you mention, but to stop it before, or as it happens, is tough, right? That's where the referee comes into play?

Oh that was a couple of ideas I was just thinking aloud.

Yeah its where the ref should come into play.


To stop it before it occurs you going to have to change the style of the fight jab and move.

If someones got it only in their mind to hold you are going to be able to catch them, trouble is they snap a few too at distance then lurch in,but hey if you know they are in a pattern of doing that and can cease the in fight mentality yoursself and make space you could catch em and move.

Do you see boxers train with a sparring partner that just tries to spoil and grab or jab move and hold I dont even know if boxers practice ways out?

Tough job for the clean fighter when theres rules to obey with another persons personality controlling the event (the ref not doing their job with point reductions).

Some guys will even hold the wrist and glove in the crook of their arm so a fighter cant pull it out of there.

If that happened in mma you could fold your arm like a wing and bring your elbow up and over and use that into their chest or chin but in boxing the ref will foul you instead of Mr wants hold hands instead of fight. Its not fair.
