Hey Southpawed
One of the biggest problems I see with boxers when they are infighting is that the shots that they use are at the wrong range. For example, a boxer will use the mid-range left hook rather than the short range left hook. It's a big difference as the mid-range shot when used 'head to head' will often fly behind the head of the opponent and simply bring that head closer to you, often banging into your face. Short range shots are as much about defence as crunching power, ensuring that your forearms and upper arms stay as close to the 'home' position as possible thus providing cover even during the execution of the shot itself. For illustration, here's two video links, the first for mid-range left hook and the second for the short range.
Hope this helps
