Think of it this way, u hav ur hnds up u still gt boxed in the head body etc. when u hav a hand down low u hav to watch two different hands ratha thn two aligned elbows. If u thnk it is too risky thn dnt do it. ppl hav their own style and thts y they bcome champs. plus u can move ur high glove to both sides of ya face, or dodge. i hav one hand lower than the otha, my lead left. i find it easier 2 dodge and slip punches. or a cheeky duck and punch 2 da side and thn to the top. If ya dnt attack then ya dnt win, also lower hand means they r naturally gona go for the open side!
