Isn't there like a "master boxer" who's ranked #2 in he world that clinches the entire fight?? Even when he's in complete control.

Porter initiated most of the clinches!

No matter who clinched who, Brook fought Porter the way he was fought to fight these wreckless wild fighters.
Porter caused both head butts, and whenever he got inside, he smothered himself and couldn't get off. Dude needs to seriously consider changing trainers.

I wouldn't say most of it but he was definitely responsible for a large portion of it, especially in the second half. Porter has himself to blame for rushing in without a jab and throwing really wide.

I like Porter. Good guy. But he's just another seek & destroy style of fighter who can't adjust when he can't simply bulldoze through the other guy.
Porter & Ruslan are different fighters, but at the same time, they both have seek and destroy mentalities. Both can look great when they have dudes across from them that they can walk down and go right through -- but when that doesn't happen, they're finished. Can't adapt. They only have one way to fight.

Every single fight is the same.
Watch it again
Most of those clinches are initiated by Shawn Porter or caused by his total wrecklessness
Why didn't you guys moan about the excessive clinching against Alexander? Diaz? Gomez? Thompson? etc etc
Was it their fault too?

Porter kept getting caught on the way in, when he couldn't out muscle Brook, it was clear he didn't have a plan B.
