Small Gloves, Big Changes: Clinching in Modern Muay Thai
Ever watched a One Championship fight and thought, damn, this feels different? Those smaller 4oz gloves are a total game-changer. Here’s how they’re shaking things up:
Why the Switch? Smaller gloves = more action. Faster strikes, more knockouts, and a real test of precision and defense.
How It Impacts Clinching
- More Risk, More Reward: Mistakes in the clinch hit harder—literally.
- Technique Overhaul: Less padding means tighter grips. You can’t afford a slip.
- Strategic Shifts: Fighters clinch less, waiting for the perfect moment to dominate.
What’s Your Take? Is this the evolution Muay Thai needed or a step too far from tradition? Drop your thoughts below—we want to hear from you.
