You can do the same sort of thing on your feet as well. Cheat your front foot closer, leaving your front foot back, as this gives the impression that you are closer than you really are. Get him to punch, a jab or right hand, and slide back to your rear foot. This makes his punch fall short and you follow it home with your counter. Buddy McGirt used this a lot, and Greg Haugen did it to Pazienza almost constantly in their first two fights.
