Sometimes their own rear arm becomes the lead they've switched without even moving their feet and they mean it cause they are in the center of the cyclone and know to turn and deal with one side when the other is spent. You can see these guys knew all the limits and exactly when to hold em and when to fold em.They knew instinctively when the power was not available in one arm for a second if a guy was moving a certain way to them.They knew the timing and moves around a spent shot. Rare you'd see them walk into anything clean or over committing themselves in a hot spot.
What this guy showed me was this...(two orthodox fighters) You can slide your left foot into his left foot, lock the insteps, more or less. You pivot off to your right with a right hand, hook and keep punching. he has to spin to his left to get out, or pick up his foot and turn.
That lead foot, how and where you place it in relation to his lead foot, you can do a lot with it. Of course, to get to that point you have to be so insanely comfortable with people punching at you that it will probably never be seen again. I'm sure that guys like ezzard charles, holman williams, those guys that had so many fights, could do it all day.
