 Trapping
There's a time and a place for everything. Trapping is useful before punches are thrown - in a pushing, shoving, and grabbing situation. Trapping is not so useful against a boxer, but is against an opponent who is moving backwards flailing their arms in an effort to avoid the blows you are raining down on them.
Trapping doesn't have to be some sort of complicated pak sao/jao sau/gaan sau/huen sao/lop sao etc. combination. Just clearing your way of an obstruction to get the clinch, or to land a shot.
