my opinion is that you show your opponent as little of your body as possible so bladed.

I was reminded of this bout and it actually demonstrates the principal nicely. When Ross Puritty fought Wladimir Klitschko he was a journeyman whom no one thought a whole lot of. This isn't a very exciting fight, but watch how they move. Just by facing Wlad's center, Puritty off-sets Wlad's whole offense

Thoughts?

I didn't read everything here, but it sounds like there are 2 things to factor with this concept.

1. Vision
2. Limiting striking areas for your opponent.

On one hand, facing the center line gives you perfect vision. On the other hand, standing at an angle limits the target for you opponent. I think the flawed assumption is that you can't do both.
