here is a fight between two Muay Thai fighters who engage in quite a bit of clinching and watch the ref. Especially if the clinch is against the ropes.

It does take awhile to get a feel for it. It goes against the western combat mindset.

Some bouts are actually so hard to score. you can also google muay thai judging and read some articles.
