The secrets of switch hitting - Changing stances mid combo

I'm enjoying the video and it's a great concept to bring attention to. It's so effective because when in a slugfest, the opponent is not paying attention to your feet, so if you can switch subtly between orthodox and southpaw you can do so maybe without even the opponent knowing or realizing what it is happening, until it is too late. There's really an art to it, in the sense that you don't want to overdo it switching back and forth, you maybe don't want to do it too early in a fight when the opponent would have an easier time noticing it and adjusting to it.

I would think it's best to start switching maybe once the fight is several rounds in, once fatigue starts to set in, at a point when maybe the fight is starting to swing in the opponents favor and you need to do something to switch the momentum back to you, or if the opponent has already started to figure out the distance in your normal stance, and you're looking to do something to surprise the opponent with punches coming from new and unexpected angles from a switched stance.

For really talented fighters who have a great footwork, it's always impressive when a figher can do it smoothly and seamlessly, and to catch an opponent with a big shot after making the switch. It's definitely an advanced skill that can be used to gain the upper hand in a close back and forth match.
