https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkcV76trxRE clinton woods was a semi-hard hitting fighter who had marginal success until he came up against high-level fighters like Roy Jones Jr. Woods was taught the oral-cavity non-sense that if you put your weight on the lead foot lowering the chin past 15 degrees balance and power is lost and furthermore you can easily be hit. reviewing the tko we can see that in fact woods did two things which made him an open target. first the high guard resting his right glove on his face made it easy for RJJ to get the body shot. secondly standing up straight made it easy to find his chin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkcV76trxRE joe calzaghe also fought RJJ let look at the difference in defense. 1st joe leaned in after throwing the jab this made it easier to get under his opponents arm pit including having a tucked in chin. this is a cardinal sin for the oral-cavity crowd. yet Joe had no problem standing straight up.
