no doubt, different styles and different usages and intents. just i felt that he should be a little more understanding of the clinching. he used it to be more offensive and they use it defensively.
sort of like guys from the 80's and 90's nba crying about flopping. the art of jumping into guys to draw fouls and to act like you had been shot with a rifle if you were touched while shootng was perfected by those guys.
i guess my point is, if you bent the rules yourself, then you're not on solid ground when someone else blatantly breaks them. he helped make clinching be viewed as a strategy and a tool. that allowed it to not be so much outraged when others used it and now it's morphed into an accepted fighting style.
after ruiz managed to hold a piece of the title just by holding and mugging, i'm surprised we don't have a whole generation of guys clutching and grabbing their ways to decisions
