I have found the medium.

It's a mix of keeping the abs mildly tensed whilst in the side ways stance, and when throwing full power shots, mostly circular punches with the abs fully tensed, the posture becomes more square on.

It appeared to me, that this is what Mike Tyson did also.

Often times - I mean, what was most profound to me was, for his height, he'd oftentimes beat the bigger guys to the punch, whilst jabbing, like Larry Holmes - who has maybe one of the best jabs of any heavy weight.

People talk about how cause he was stocky, that lent itself to his power and style.
I sas that's a total crock.
I think he developed a style which allowed him to hang with and overwhelm guys so much bigger than him.
An enigma of sorts.
A guy, effectively that small, that could compete with guys that big, as a product of stylistic insight and application.

Tyson seemed to find his way in with a jab, right cross, then on the inside, switch to the square on stance when throwing the power circular punches.
Sometimes even switching to southpaw when throwing power shots off his lead hand - or what would be his lead hand.
This is something I also find myself doing when applying this approach.

I think - I speculate that - as a heavy weight, he was able to apply this for longer periods than fighters at lower weight would be able to, given the slower reaction periods of bigger lumbering heavyweights.

Against a Floyd Mayweather shoulder rolling and in and out style, that approach may have to be applied with greater discretion.

But, again - for myself - it's taken my boxing to the next level.

And boxing, being the base for the stand up movement, has concurrently taken my kickboxing to the next level.

And - curiously enough - also wrestling.
Guys just can't get my legs given my increased reaction times.


Have a look at what I'm talking about with Tyson...

That upper torso side to side and perfect bobbing technique being applied - in my case - correctly, due to the greater level of upper body control, whilst the abdominal muscles are taught.
