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.
