Conflicts involving many blows (7)

I believe the answer is:

clashes

'conflicts' is the definition.
(clash is a kind of conflict)

'many blows' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'c' (C is the Roman numeral for 100).
'blows' becomes 'lashes' (lash is a kind of blow).
'c'+'lashes'='CLASHES'

'involving' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
