    What do you guys normally do in clinches? Do you like to fight it out? Hold on till the ref breaks? Of course, you'll do different things in clinches pending circumstances(if your tired, you'll probably hold).

    I've had a bad tendency in past bouts to shove or throw them with just my arms to get them off of me, using lots of energy.
    I have better ways of dealing with clinches now but wondering what some of you guys like to do. :bbb:bbb

    - Make some space with my shoulders to land some punches in the inside.

    - Loose my arms to break as I keep moving a little to avoid a quick-break punch.

    - If he puches in the clinch I move a little in my toes to I control the space (not being cornered) as I keep my low posture and put some weight on him using my arms or shoulders to set up an attack as soon as he breaks.

    - If he locks my arms I just step aside and pivot, use the momentum to throw him away. If he clings then the ref will call for a break anyway.

    Very good advice, sounds like you know how to in-fight.
