    Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.

    Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.
