Why do people complain about clinching when...?

[La12]

Boxing's just seriously broken. They keep awarding constant clinchers and runners and even call it "defensive". It's called "avoiding the fight!"; clinchers and runners should lose rounds because of it! Boxing will never be taken seriously if they keep up with this sh-it.

Clinching is a part of the sport. But sometimes it is ridiculous. But really there is nothing you can do about it. It is just like the NBA where they really can't do anything about Hack-A-Shaq.

I must have the reading skills of The Best Fighter on the planet. Learn How To Spell. I can't read a damn word of what you wrote.

Funny thing, in collegiate wrestling, people often get deducted points for clinching and stalling.

Ali clinched more times vs Frazier in the first 2 rounds (FACT) than Mayweather did in 12 vs Pacquiao. And Ali is my favourite fighter ever before someone calls me a *****. Clinching is and important and effective tool to have at your disposal and I guarantee you that every great fighter was good in the clinch or initiating it at the right time! To the casuals its hugging but to someone who boxes regularly at amateur or pro level or has followed the sport for a long time; we know that it's unlikely anyone will throw at each other non stop without clinching. Embrace hugging it's here to stay.

Disclaimer: Excessive hugging is illegal and should be penalised, this refers to when a fighter is unable to even throw and there is no engagement between the two because fighter A doesn't want to fight.

Fun Fact: Devon Alexander clinched 119 times vs Marcos Maidana AND HE GOT WHOOPED BY MATTHYSSE

cause Ali also actually fought his opponents and KO em and not pretend that he was in a amateur fight

How about deducting points? Heck, even a warning would be a start.
