    once u hit him with a left hook o the body he will open his defense up alot more.There goes that style.I mean all i see is a left hook shot open.But of course all styles arnt perfect.

      Sugar Ray Leonard used it at times and with success. I'll check to see if I can show pics or vids.

        Indeed, but once I seen the stance I though that it would be great to attack him at an angle with a series of straight punches.

          I don't think it'll be easy to land a hook to the body on someone who can fight in that stance; I said so in the 'Dome.

            Ray Leonard also showed that Floyd Mayweather Sr's version of the philly shell wasnt unstopable

              1 small pivot and side step can change alot. Then what. r u going to do a 360 roll?

                You use that kind of defense only on your toes, you don't stand flatfooted with it, that would be suicide. I see what you mean, this defense works only if you can move much better than your opponent. But if you can it helps in some ways, especially with the jab.

                      it leaves the left hook to the body open. If you rush the person and throw the left hook to the body their left arm is now pinned to their body and now they cant punch with it. The only thing they can do is try to time a right hand counter.
