Switching your feet to cut of the ring more effectively.

[Dia bando]

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.

There was a guy used to do that what was his name, I remember Marvin Hagler if I recall
he was not to bad a fighter was he.!

I made sure to use the words "can" and "could" due to the exceptions to the rule... I'm sure there were a couple others that were effective throughout history, but if you were training multiple fighters would you teach them all to switch stances because Marvin Hagler and Terrence Crawford were/are successful at it.

I also don't recommend crossing your feet, but Rigondeaux breaks that rule and is quite successful.

Crawford is no Hagler, Rigo is a hell of a fighter , may I just say Brendon Ingle fighters are exception to the rule, the guys not bad he's trained 3 World champions.
Most fighters out of his gym, change stance he has had great success , not 1 but 3 World Champion
he must be doing something RIGHT.
