As quickly as the range closed from punching to clinching, there wasn't much time. However, I did notice that no knees were thrown. FWIW, wearing thai trunks doesn't dictate that he likes to kick. kicks should be set up, not just thrown, and there were no set up strikes thrown. They went from exchanging punches to clinching. a kick probably would've left the kicker disadvantaged.
i'm nobody...i'm nobody. i'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo... a boxcar and a jug of wine... but i'm a straight razor if you get to close to me.

I will punch, kick, choke, throw or joint manipulate any nationality equally without predjudice.
