How do you define Ring Generalship?

[Chris Nagel]

Ring generalship is effectively using the ring to your advantage mainly through the use of footwork. In regards to scoring, it just gives you a feeling of who is better controlling the fight. It isn't necessarily specific to style either. A pressuring fighter, or a fighter that holds his ground can also demonstrate better ring generalship than a contrasting opponent.

For the boxer this means maintaining distance as to dictate the action rather than dancing from ring post to ring post to stay away from the opponent. For the pressure fighter, or counter puncher this means not following your opponent around like schmuck. In this case circling in the same direction as the opponent as to cut off the ring while not walking into their line of fire.
