Guess how long it takes Wladimir Klitschko to initiate a clinch tonight.

    For reference his current PB stands at a lightning fast four seconds against Povetkin!

    Pulev is a range fighter like Wlad, I don't think we'll see much clinching tonight. Pulev doesn't fight on the inside very much, only if he has to.....

    How about 10 seconds or greater? Don't see that option provided.

    is that supposed to be boxing? looks more like a hybrid greco roman match. i'll go with 5 seconds, you have to give pulev some time to make it across the ring.

    As long as it takes any of the fighters a chance to even feint a punch.

    even if he clinches why can't the opponent do something about it and take the fight to wlad?

    wlad is simply one of or thee the best heavyweight ever

    Pulev might not be in a rush to close. He might want to measure his jab first. So you might have to wait a while tonight.

    Because the rules of boxing (limited striking area and limited striking implements) favor a talented clincher if they choose to tie up versus an infighter.

    Refs are generally hesitant to warn/deduct a point for excessive clinching and faster to warn for shoving/pushing (one of the ways out of a clinch).

    There's a sort of sweet/safe spot in a clinch where you can nullify most of your opponents offense. You put your arms over theirs (or under) and put your head next to their head. This will effectively stop your opponent from gaining leverage on their shots -- and that's why...wait, why am I actually responding to this post? You're a known troll and probably just wanted to start and argument.
