    Yes. A clinic means it's one sided and the victor has his opponent beat in almost every category. Clinic implies there's sharp precision and accurate punching by the more intelligent fighter. They're always one step ahead. So long as that beat down you're referring to isn't sloppy, then absolutely, it's a clinic.

    Yes. It takes a lot of skill to apply good pressure. People are ignorant and think skills means you have to move around the ring a lot and box from the outside.

    Chavez-Rosario is an absolute clinic. Applying pressure, slipping and rolling with shots, good footwork in cutting off the ring, great punch selection in mixing it up to the head and body, combinations that created and exploited openings.
