Andre, has hit on the head really.. A boxing match is ever changing at any given time. Style and both boxers pros and cons come into it. What Andre is saying is be a smart fighter...Change to the circumstances. Smart fighters that change to a situation immediately or quickly usually end out on top.

I personally try to stay bladed most of the time, I do get picked up by the coachs on squaring off. I was given a very good example of why you shouldn't square off. If somebody thats accurate with there fists, steps in with a striaght and hits you full power to the solar plexus. Your more than likey get dropped.
