As long as I can keep the distance between me and my opponent it deffinitely gives me the room I need to open my kicks up but I also find that a good experienced boxer can take alot of good hits and if they can walk through my barrage of kicks again closing the gap I find a boxer has the edge in my experience!!
well thats the principals of most martial arts is to keep the proper distance and fight and to close in and out to attack and retreat to defense mode. bruce lee was best at this. thats why he never got hit
