The boxing clinch is a crucial part of Mayweather's defensive game that he gets into several times every single round, you can't tell me he's going to successfully avoid it.

This is the EXACT reason why Ronda couldn't take Floyd down... Floyd is undefeated for a reason dude, he's a very smart guy. He knows good and well that Ronda Will take him down, and sub him if she can get into clinch range.. He is not going to let that happen. If Ronda was masterful at cutting off the cage, and setting up and timing takedowns like a GSP or something then I could see it, but with the way she plods foward with her hands down. She'd be so off balance he could take her down...Though he would opt to knock her out.
