Is it called Shoulder Roll, Philly Shell, or Crab Defense - Page 2

Shoulder roll is a component of the Philly shell. The former belongs to the latter, hence they shouldn't be listed seperately.

The 'philly shell' is a separate stance as a whole, and 'the shoulder roll' is merely one of the techniques used (usually to deflect right crosses) while in the "philly shell" stance.

Foreman didn't get low as the others though. I wonder if we can still call it crab defense?
