    Watch GGG he is a master of cutting off the ring, watch his feet he expends very little energy,
    just spends some time and watch his fights.

    This has been a part of fighting forever. When Fitzsimmons knocked out Corbett he slid his right foot forward to land a southpaw left to the solar plexus. The famous Tyson combo of the right hook to the body followed by a right uppercut came from a southpaw stance. The thing about it is, you have to be slick about when and how you shift your feet. You don't want to get hit with your feet crossed or together, and you can't punch at those times, either. At a certain level, good fighters are very very aware of what an opponent is doing with his feet and they'll catch you when you are vulnerable.

    two guys that come to mind for being effective at switch hitting were Hagler, of course, and Chiquita Gonzalez, and they both fought one way or the other for long stretches. Really, cutting off the ring isn't the hardest thing in the world. It can be as simple as the initial line you take on an opponent, or circling to surround his movement. Most guys will follow their lead foot almost exclusively so it isn't complicated.

    That diagram reminds me of when Naz got caught by Kevin Kelly trying to switch his feet and getting put down.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Switching Stances to me is a situational offensive strategy, but can be counter productive defensively.

    In other words:

    Since Offense is active and defense is reactive, switching stances could enhance offense and inhibit defense.
