What's up with.....

Their feet shifting from Orthodox-Southpaw-Orthodox again whenever they break of from the opponent? I see it mostly everyone in boxing with good foot work like Paquiao, Lomachenko, Kovalev. Like, after they landed flurries they would bounce off from their opponent, shift their feet from their original stance to an another stance (Southpaw or orthodox, depends on the fighter's stance) then back to original in a very brief moment for like half a second to one second.

I don't know much about how footworks other than the basic side to side movement, lateral movement, cutting off the ring. But I would want to know why they do that.

Never had more than a couple legit boxing lessons, but my eyes tell me that the footwork gives their opponent that little bit of extra hesitation, easing the escape out to the reset point.

First time I really noticed it was in the Thurman-Bundu fight (and again with "Big" Fred Kassi); Thurman's ability was beyond Bundu's, but the reset left Thurman having to make that mental check (what tools work against a southpaw vs what other tools work better with an orthodox fight) before acting. Once he figured out the rhythm, he could get back into his flow and fight quicker.

think of it like a foot feint

You mean how Jacobs switched it up against GGG? Jacobs was doing that in the Pirog bout too
