Have you ever adopted a boxers fighting style?

alot of pro fighters take things that i use in sparring

 

I've picked up a few things from Rigondeaux. One is the way he'll hold out his power hand to measure, then rip them with a hook from the other hand. I'm a righty and this is magical against southpaws.

Also, I got a little trick from Duran, which he apparently got from Fitzimmons. When you have a guy backing up, you throw the overhand right and let your right leg come around like a pitcher, switching you to southpaw. Then you throw a left uppercut to the body. The cool thing about it is that when your leg comes around, it traps your opponent and keeps him from moving out to your right, which means your uppercut will usually hit something. I only started working on that because I was jealous of Lucian Bute for being a southpaw and having that left uppercut in his repertoire lol.

I haven't really copied any styles, but if there's something I see a fighter doing that I like, I'll drill it then try it a few times in sparring to see if I can make it work. I've only sparred like 70 rounds total so far, so I haven't really settled into a style of my own yet.
