Clinchwork is my specialty!!! My ring "nickname" was Khun Kao Charuad, which translates to "King of Rocket Knees". I was a successful fighter because I dominated the clinch!
It is my opinion that the clinch can make or break your fight. I cannot tell you how many GOOD fighters I've seen get beaten and KTFO'ed because they did not understand (or had not trained in) clinchwork.
Personally, I think that in *many* (but definately not ALL) cases, having superior Clinchwork is more apt to win you a fight than having better Kicks or Punches.
Face it, if you are determined to tie up and clinch with your opponent, they are going to be very hard-pressed to stop you!
