I don't see many fighters integrate it seamlessly into their style. I see a lot of guys constantly resetting to orthodox or falling into holds instead of shifting with their momentum. I also see a lot of guys awkwardly switch stances. With a few exceptions, I typically only see Russians who seem well schooled in using it.Comment

As was said before it is a potentially useful tool, but most tools can be game planned for and countered. An elite fighter will have multiple tools and it's up to his trainer to create a game plan using the appropriate ones. It's up to the fighter to find the right times to utilize them in round.
Tools also have counters and what separates elite level fighters from the others is their ability to adjust in the ring and dictate fights with their tools.Comment

Well said sir!Don't fall for the 'magic' the video is trying to cast by pretending it's some lost art or secret technique that will win a fight. It's part of a number of subtle techniques that a boxer uses. If you're looking at "tricks", Canelo has more layers to his game but, again, they're all just tools. At the end of the day, it's the craftsman who makes the product, not the tools.Comment

Correct, and there will be two elite fighters in the ring on September 16th.As was said before it is a potentially useful tool, but most tools can be game planned for and countered.

It will be interesting to see who comes with - and is able to implement - the best game plan, and who can adjust and adapt to what the other guy brings!Comment
