    He thew 2 types of jab most of teh time, a hip powered jab with a push off, and a typical arm jab (typically following the hip one when he x2 up) he leant to the side to avoid the counter, just like you would slip and jab except its from his square on stance so its slightly different, the leaning to the side is not part of the mechanics of the jab he just slips often cause he has to get inside.

    Maybe a touch of what you see is from him naturally being so imposing too,that slip to the inside: would also be for initial reach and to get face on to the oppositions center line which position he loved to bang from. Even though squared up a lot and over reaching at times not too many were aggressive enough to catch him out.He got away with a lot of stuff other fighters wouldnt. Hell, some of his opponents were mentally already in survival mode during the walk in.

    All movement is instigated from your hips, its your centre of gravity.
