I'm sure if you look back far enough you'll find fighters, trainers and so on explaining pros and I am sure there are some somewhere for every bad tendency it doesn't mean it should be taught or done. It leaves you terribly open probably why you never see any good defensive fighter doing it well ever.
Why is it any different to over-extending? Because of where he is from? Explain the difference. Its over-extending flat-out anyway you want to cut it.
Soviet fighter does it - 'Shifting'
Anybody else does it - 'over-extending'
Turning your back, lifting your right foot off the ground when throwing the right hand they've been done since forever doesn't mean it should be done or taught and I'm sure somewhere some fighter or trainer recommends it. He probably boxed as well at a very high level back in the stone ages.
Merely a video of the odd few times it has worked in a fight without ending in disaster and most of its not even that. Is it really taught in the Soviet system or is that just another assumption people have made as the odd few times its been successfully pulled off were mainly coincidentally by Soviet fighters? All of which were terribly uncoordinated guys like Vitali Klitschko.
You should never switch stances when in punching range its an absolute great way to get KTFO. You shouldn't believe everything you read in books. Go to a gym and try pull it off tell us how it goes.
