in my opinion, there is nothing worse than watching some guy that has developed a game plan where clenching is a part of his strategy. this would never fly in a street fight, and really doesn't correlate with who the better fighter is.
since ground and pound dominates mma so much, and it looks kinda gay if you ask me, mma is harder for me to watch, although, and admittedly, a more pure form of fighting than boxing.
