I started out in a Tyson like stance, because I watched too much Tyson fights. Through the years I switched more and more to a side on stance. It puts the shoulder in line to help with defense, and frees the front (left in my case) arm for offensive purposes.

thats a good point RDJ you definitely are influenced by watching your fave boxers and my defence is a lot tighter in side on, think i was watching a lot of pro boxing and that is a different game than amature

That because your presenting less of a target, your opponent has to set you up through a series of shots rather then being presented with an obvious target.

this is true, sparred tonight and found that i worry less about defence(cos smaller target area for opponent) so i got more time to think about landing my own shots, thanks for all the advice, has made a big difference, cheers

Last time I went to the gym, a new trainer had me standing more straight on.

That's about 5 different stances I've been taught now.
