Hope that makes sense, I know what i mean but it can be hard to explain sometimes
    I don't know if there is a hard and fast term for inside. I just assume it to be when inside an opponents range. Often with a step jab like you speak of, I'll throw it (going inside that range) then step right back out.

    Well you're using your jab to measure the distance, and if stepping forward allows you to connect, then your in range to throw other punches, but take some as well.. Stepping back will take you outside that range..

    But yeah, when you say someone is good at fighting inside, you aren't really referring to them stepping into range and being good from there, more like being in close to your opponent where most of your body is in there and you're pressuring the opponent with your physical presence..

    I'd probably refer to what your doing is stepping into range.. But saying stepping inside is probably the same thing..

    Being an expert as exactly where that point of being inside and outside range is a really important thing and constantly measuring that with your jab and being good at moving in and out of it for attack and defense is a great thing to be able to do..

    There is inside fighting and outside fighting.
    It is confusing, really they should of termed it ' distance' and 'in fighting' so that then we could use the term inside for being inside both the guys arms and outside for being on the outside of either one of his arms. I think it would make life alot easier when talking shop.

    Fighting inside is when your inside your opponents arms,throwing hooks to the body,uppercuts,and maybe a cross,and pressuring them.
    Hopkins is very good at fighting inside,Tyson when he was younger was

    Ok so from that inside position .. if one of his arms pressures one of mine and I let it come inside and i side step and maintain the same distance head to head and bring his arm into my centre so that now im still nose to nose but Im on the outside of one of his elbows so that Im square and can punch him with both hands but he cant punch me with any of his for that second cause Im over the outside his elbow.
    Am I then considered outside fighting? even though Im still nose to nose?
