How Do You Create Angles?

[ThaiBoxerWithNoHandsSon]

How do you create angles in punching? Give me an example from start to finish of you closing the gap, engaging, and getting out, and tell me where and how the angles came into play. Most importantly I want to know what the feet are doing to set these angles up.

Give me as many examples as you can. This is something I'm trying to really better understand.

can you be a little more specific?

[Aussie_Egg]

easiest one.
jab,cross, slip then pivot the rear foot out then you have an angle on the opponent

Circle your opponent feinting while noting his reactions. Throw jabs and straight rights to keep him off you. Step in behind feints and land to the areas these open up.

Angles work in 3 dimensions.

Pivots, side-steps, step-across etc. can create a different angle (i.e 45 or 90 degrees from centre - assuming you are right in front of your oppenent to start with), but are only working in one plane.

Punches - from in front of your opponent - can also be changed to create different angles i.e straight left, overarm/hand right, hooks, uppercuts, half-hook/uppercut, bolos and screw shots (all varied from head to body at short, medium and medium to long range).

Orlando Canizales no better way of learning the art of angles, than watching this guy fight. He was the master at boxing in angles, his footwork was incredible.

I'm not familiar, w/ Orlando Canizales, I'll have to look him up. I think Mike McCallum would be an excellent study for working in angles. He had to when dealing with pressuring opponents, he'd step around them, pivot and make the have to reset, all the while staying a step ahead.

Orlando Canizales done exactly what you just described, he would also feint with his footwork amazingly, making opponents twitch. Forcing them to make mistakes.
