Has a fighter clinched as much as Wladimir did in this fight

"Octopuss technique, 10 mins of clinches lol"


Ya wanna change the rules of boxing and make clinching illegal, fine, but don't try just misapplying your criticism to Wlad alone - and good for him for mastering the clinch. A lot of boxers don't know how to do it.

Ever see a Ruiz fight?

Clinching is an old tactic in boxing. It is just a big man fighting a big man's fight.

Clinching is one of the key tactics Ali used to defeat Foreman.

Good point beez721....Clinching is a tactic, holding is when they just want to survive. Remember what James "Bonecrusher" Smith did when he faced Tyson? That fight was an all time disappointment because instead of firing away, Smith just looked to grab and hold on whenever they got close.

There was also some great punching leading to the clinches, though. Watching just this bull**** video makes it hard to see how Peter can win the next one.

It wasnt really clinching, it was outright holding on, setting out to hold not just falling into clinches, this was worse than Henry Akinwande.
