Povetkin has better footwork but yeah pretty much
40 clinches in rounds 1-3, is a clinch a retreat?

o it cant be otherwise you would have said provetkin was making wlad retreat all the way through the fight
The clinch is used as a strategy. I would relate it to if a Quarterback drops back to pass and all the Wide Receivers are covered and the QB throws the ball away to avoid a sack.

Or in soccer if there's pressure on the Keeper while he's accepting a slow back pass and he quickly boots the ball out of bounds to end the threat to his goal.

It's not a pretty move, but it's a smart one. Wlad used it too often vs Povetkin and Manny Steward would have given him hell in the corner wanting him to get the KO but Wlad's the one doing the fighting he's going to win how he can win, most of the times it's better than that but in the end it's still a win.
The quarter back was also throwing the ball away when he had receiver type guys open and begging for the ball. Sorry but its a fact.
