Jack Johnson used various clinches one hitting after the clinch, and clinch to stop punches from happening what is known as punches in bunches followed by clinches.

When you talk about MMA, your not talking about traditional boxing. I was seeing MMA type fighting in bars and alley ways back in the 50's. For the most part, the rules of MMA are that there really are no rules. It's great fighting in the real world and on the battlefield, it's now a big money maker and the biggest show in town. That being said, I do recognize that an MMA fighter has to be in better shape, take more dangerous blows, and needs to master fighting elements from all martial arts.
traditional boxing requires an understanding of tactical boxing, master being a tactical boxer and you will become a dangerous fighter. I notice spectators do not understand a tactical fighter and wrongfully boo him for seemingly being to cautious, slow, or backing away and circling to much. Like a chess match, any wrong move or not having a variety of plans to change up, will cost a fighter.
