Fight is always predictable in favor of the clincher when the ref does nothing about it.

[The Gambler1981]

If a guy doesn't clinch they are essentially fighting stupid and going to get hit way more than they should otherwise. If a guy is playing to win it is something that has to be done. Plus is is something that naturally occurs in a lot of fighting situations.

I have no sympathy for people who can't get the job done and figure out a way to solve the problem presented to them in the ring. Stick a forearm in dudes face and use the other arm to punch for example, fighters should be prepared to deal with clinching not lay around and hope the refs works it out in a favorable way to them.
