if we are to rule out feet then in this case pivoting must imply hip rotation. the use of the term pivot here is then either a misnomer or just a buzz word.
kenny weldon has a video talking about the way hip rotation influences this.
basically, following through with your hip rotation, which is what you should always be doing anyway, lets you hit a broad range of targets.
its also why i believe the boxing axiom that you need to get your foot outside of the foot of the southpaw is really something of a boxing myth.
you can still hit the southpaw with your foot inside of his foot. which is what inoue did. i disagree that he needed to do anything complex to do that though.
hitting a southpaw with your foot inside of his foot doesnt have to require pivoting or stepping or whatever buzz word to get a different angle to land a right hand. the right hand inoue threw looked to me to be a pretty routine right hand up the middle.
looked very similar to the right hand tracy patterson knocked out eddie hopson with.
