Boxers who 'switched' their feet with regularity?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Loving the new name Jim. I thought you'd started this because of our conversation about Augustus hangin' up his gloves after Saturday.

Thanks man Definitely the reason why I changed me username.
I'm an Augustus fan for one more fight and then that's it

The best guy I've seen at switch hitting regularly is Andre ward. If you have good coordination and the right core principles in your boxing the only real change is the angles you have to work with, both stances have their advantages, but most guys don't apply the same pressure both ways. There is a slight shift in their mentality. Like Marvin hagler against Leonard in the early rounds. He thought of himself as more of a boxer in the orthodox stance and it
cost him early rounds.

Andre Ward... There's a fighter I should go back and watch. Also, good points about Hagler man. Makes perfect sense. Mentality... Hmmm. That's too revealing... I'm just think out loud... I kinda wish more fighters switched more fluidly and functionally Not just ''okay, now I'm gonna be this guy''.

The best time to switch is when the opposition is attacking and you switch out around the outside of their attack blindsiding them. Yet to see it done in boxing other than bouncing off the ropes and switching out to the side.

I know it's totally unfounded to say this but I can see how a fighter could benifit from more dynamic footwork. Like in the scenario you've just pointed out, there are a few times where a fighter could truly benefit fro manoeuvring over to (or pivoting on) the opposite foot.

I mean, of course it would have to be done at the right time, not just for the sake of bamboozling your opponent via flashiness. It's all about calculated risk... Wladimir Klitschko is an excellent boxer but he probably only throws 2 or 3 uppercuts per fight.... Because of the associated risk.

I dunno why I'm ranting on... I'm just glad I've been given these fighters names so I can go and do some research.

Oh and Fen.. I'm starting with Thaxton v Augustus

Im not sure: but with the advances in mind- body coordination exercises that are being developed as we speak (By Scrap mostly). I think theres a chance that by practicing a certain verbal /mind exercise to gain a whole brain thinking pattern, combined with eye exercises: some fighters in the future will be able to balance out their dominant eye with their non dominant one and flow at ease fighting both ways balanced in and out.

Then you would really see set techniques being practiced that involve when to switch in reaction to the opponents moves for advantage in action in contact range not just switching for the sake of doing so out of range, then engaging.
