Well american boxing sometimes do confuse me. I mean in Oakland you can do pretty much all you want inside a clinch, and in the Bradley/Alexander fight they almost weren't allowed to touch eachother before there was shoutet "BREAK"!
Exactly. Whenever they were close the heads came together. Llook at the replays. Both men try throwing something big and end up clashing heads.
headbutts cant happen once already in a clinch as soon as bradley tried going to the body he would get broken apart.
Cant comment cuz i never saw it but ive seen plenty of dodgy and inconsistant reffereeing when fighters are up close and most of it was in America or by American refferees.
I think that has a lot more to do with "who's fighting who" than the difference between states. :nono
