Thanks to mike and mike for their comments.
Red Rum if you would like a technical debate on the muay thai clinch go for it, you will lose.
Very easily. Just because a few Americans like Mike etc 'know who you are'. Who gives a flying f**k? I have been training MT for a long time, admittedly boxing not so long. Yet I know boxers who have trained for two years being a whole lot more knowledgable than guys who have trained for twenty years.

But even in the limited time I have trained boxing, it is very apparent that boxing clinches make seeing what your opponent is doing difficult.

I am stunned that your so called vast experience in boxing makes you think that you can see everything your opponent is doing when you are in a clinch

I never said that boxers do not use their eyes - re-read my post you twat.
I have said repeatedly that reliance on your eyes all the way through a fight is foolish, especially when it comes to clinches

Of course boxers will use their eyes to start with, but watch any boxing clinch (even a newbie would understand this) and see which direction the boxers eyes are.

In grappling, I would ask you to do the same. If you are telling me that two fighters can see everything their opponent is doing, then you are not what you say you are.
