That is actually very reassuring Rob. Thank you for the explanation and your opinion. I did feel it would probably be a counter to the overemphasis on boxers just locking on and throwing down in the clinch as there are always complaints about it. The complaint I always hear, particularly from older boxers and trainers, is there are less boxers with styles like Samart's, Veerapol's, or Namkabon's etc. because of the emphasis on lower skill strength techniques like locking the waist and throwing boxers in the clinch. I interviewed Radom Na Bang Chang a couple of years ago and it was his opinion that boxers should not score for just throwing someone down without also attempting to knee or kick on as they fall.

It will be interesting for me to see how it is applied by referees at Lumpinee. I personally tend to break the clinch quickly if boxers have circle grabbed and are not hitting with hard knees or are against the ropes and kneeing without power as it does get boring if left. Although it will be interesting to see how it is applied in Thailand, if introduced here I doubt it will have that much impact on scoring in the UK in the sense boxers don't generally apply those tactics (I can't think of a fight that has been been won in this way except perhaps Ocana in the POS final or Worarwoot against Franky H on Pain and Glory).
