How to avoid Clinch?

When your opponent is about to clinch, they will trigger a characteristic arms-spreading animation. Once you learn to recognize this tell, you have a brief window to react. You can evade the clinch by dodging, dashing backward or forward, or blocking. Alternatively, you can completely interrupt their animation by throwing a quick jab or another fast punch before they reach you. It may take a while to master the timing of these techniques, but anything is possible with enough training.
