I loved watching Naz get away with some stuff from those weird low angles,some of the wildest ko shots came out from some unseen areas, very exciting to watch new angles and limits.
Like Sam Soliman though he swithces out of balance alot but has the legs and footwork to correct himself and gain a new angle.

I was thinking about a couple of the old fighters like Wille Pepp and some of his nemisis who used to go from fighting square shouldered nose to nose hitting equally with both hands;switching into either stance and ending up on the outside of either one of their opponents arms in either stance ,they sometimes used combos and the oppositions arm reaction or body lean to help get out there at exactly the right time.

I think Dokes the heavy weight used to go around the outside of a long jab using his footwork but never landed in the opposite stance to use it any further, he just switched as he went around then recorrected his feet and continued on.

I love looking at that old stuff they were more reactive naturally and experimental ,you get find some stuff that works a treat, but it only works in the exact situations.
