Shifting for the rear punch.

Hi,
Let's say if I throw a left jolt (powerful left jab mentioned by Jack Dempsey),how can I follow it up with my right with shifting.
And you are saying that for left jab there is no weight shift which means the left jab is used as a light fly swatter and its only purpose is to set up the combinations.Am I right?
I think I was confised by JAck Dempsey.

The weight shift is in the hips,not the feet

Have you ever gone skiing before? Anyways to turn when you are skiing, you move your weight from one leg to another. That's basically how weight shifting works in boxing, shifting your weight from one leg to another.

With the jab, you don't necessarily need to step in with it to bring more power into the punch. Assuming that you're standing in the proper stance, you can do much better than a "fly swatter". You bring power into it with a quick slight turn of your hips, turning your shoulder until your front shoulder practically touches your chin, and finally a quick shove from your foot if you want an extra boost. Also don't worry about bringing it back fast, just don't get lazy with leaving it out, and make sure it returns along the same path that it came out on.
