    Carlos Quintana vs Paul Williams I

    Thats the reason Quintana beat Williams. He was giving him all sorts of angles never staying in front of him and Paul looked way out of it. He didnt know what to do when a guy wasnt standing in front of him.
    One of the best performances if not the best i ever saw out of Quintana.

    Hearns vs leanord 1. Hearns using angles once he decides to box and stop trying for the 1 punch KO. May even be on youtube.

    Depends what you mean by angles...their footwork? The way they throw their punches?

    Hamed versus Robinson would probably be a good one for this.

    Aside from Hamed arguably looking his absolute best/sharpest in this fight, you can see him trying to break the tight shell-like guard of Robinson with numerous strategies. Sometimes he throws at odd angles to creep around or underneath the guard, using moves like jumping corkscrew uppercuts or leaping hooks. You can see him switching from Southpaw to Orthodox and back in the first round alone. At one point he completely lowers his hands and stands directly in front of Robinson, square-on, just to bait him into attacking. Robinson throws a tentative jab, and Hamed times him and hits him with a shot from below. Just a fight full of Naz's odd antics.

    Also, see if you can find the last round of Donaire versus Vargas. Donaire almost looks like Roy Jones Jr in the final part of the round -- he jumps from side to side throwing shots from all angles, confusing Vargas and then flooring him. Quite flashy.

    See , I dont think Mayweather did use any angles. Hatton was coming in straight on and Floyd was coming in right through the middle. The check left hook isnt really using angles, but just very good technical boxing.

    Pacquaio uses angles.

    I prefer a good boxer with straight punches , rather than a fighter they say uses angles , as it often leave a fighter open.

    The best I have seen to do this is Barrera vs Hamed .

    Good technique always beats angles.
