    So, it's not totally out there to think it because it is "a thing". Though, I think it's about posture and not anything else.
    It has to do with their systems being based off the recent amateur system where body shots aren't coming in much and there is not sustained body attacks.

    So they aren't use to seeing that sort of thing, it is not something that has been worked on their whole life, so it is not something their body has become accustomed to at all. Therefore it would be easier to catch a guy with nasty body shots that is not used to dealing with that sort of thing and they would likely be more effective because that guy hasn't been hit like that near as much in their boxing experience.

    That is what it seems like to me anyway.
