Your thoughts on Clinching after reading this and watching PBF do it over and over..

[Deja_Vous]

Is it better than creating an account at a boxing forum and only ever using it to slag off Joe Calzaghe?

I know he's ruined your life and everything, but maybe you shouldn't admit it so freely.

Why don't you tell that to all the Floyd haters?????

You must be Sloppy Joe's mistress or some ****.

The only time I actually didn't mind clinching was when Sugar Shane Mosley used it on Margarita. It wasn't excessive, he clinched at the right moments.

Last night i saw berto clinching when he could have dominated without it. When PBF did this, he beat hatton at his own game in a big way, i honestly couldnt believe PBF outmuscled him and out worked him to an eventual stoppage, it was impressive as ***. granted it wasnt a 2 round stoppage lol.

Clinching sucks and shouldnt be used unless ur senses are all shook to ****, its part of the game, gives u a break, helps u control the pace, stifeles ur oppenents attack and runs out the clock all at the same time. I think personally referees should be strickter on Clinching as it IS a foul.

My favourite Fighter Miguel Cotto NEVER clinches and is far better to watch for it. There have been times where he SHOULD have clinched and didnt even do it then

Berto is being criticised for his performance last night because of the unnecessary clinching. Unnecessary being the key word in that sentence

He didn't need to do all that clinching. In fact, if anything, it hindered his performance

exactly, this is the point, there was no reason for berto to ever clinch in the match his opponent could never catch him, so why clinch?

if Cotto would've pulled off the same exact strategy that Shane applied on that scrub. I have no doubt that Miguel would've pulled it off.

floyd beat hatton at his own game of "CLINCH". can't hate floyd for that. we have seen in many fights that if his opponents don't clinch he won't.

berto's clinching is a freaking tactic that his corner encourages him to do. its de****able.

Berto's gameplan: jab, jab, jab, right cross or upper, clinch. rinse and repeat.

that's garbage fighting and its a lazy ugly style. that's 2 fights now that berto has used that style. All I gotta say to berto is that that lazy style is what got hatton KTFO... why? because instead of developing and learning real boxing skills hatton relied too heavily on the clinch style. when he met someone that better than him both times he got stopped nasty.

berto will get KTFO soon (if he fights elite 147 lbers) in a ring near you.
