    There was a post about this some time back. I believe its effective only as its not seen on a regular basis. A proper game plan and a decent boxer should be able to negate it easily.

        No idea, but I saw some guys saying in a recent GGG thread that there is no such thing as "shifting" so that's why I put it up.

        I haven't seen this one posted here myself, but I saw another interesting one about how GGG uses broken rhythm in his combos.

          Nobody does anything easily when they are in with a fighter like GGG.

            Shifting is the exact reason Dimitry Pirog KO'D Danny Jacobs. When implemented correctly it is quite the effective strategy.

                It was a "slicks lover" who pretended he was arguing with me. Not big deal...

                  ... shifting was and still is heavily used by the "Soviet school" of boxing.
