    Just remember to keep your feet under you. Don't lean in. In fact, get your front foot, in front.

    And also, bend the knees when going to work. The opponents counters will miss as he is aiming where your head previously was.

    by bending your knees on the inside meaning like a weave without out the foward roll of the torso while applying your force on your opponent?

    I think he means keep your front foot in the front to help you stay upright, and dont square up and bend your torso because uh..watch Frazier - Foreman..

    Good tip though, so simple, but damn I didnt think of it.. (I have eaten a few uppercuts for squaring up..)

    Getting inside and what you do when you get there depends on your natural style and how it relates to your opponent. Bernard Hopkins is the best inside fighter in the world yet he tended to be taller than most of his opponents. James Toney likes to fight inside the pocket yet his style is very different from Hopkins. What I am trying to say is that it is impossible to give you advice because your style is unknown.
