Get in, start downstairs, and finish upstairs.

And be quick.
Be a master of "closing the gap".

I recommend everyone check out that Tyson video. As a newcomer to boxing, I never realized Tyson was so damn quick. I thought he was just a bruiser with not much in the way of technique. But man, I've never seen someone dodge punches like that. Theres a part where hes almost doubled over to the ground slippin punches. Impressive.
