    Pressure fighting: fighting against turning and angles?

    I'm using the peekaboo and while I'm cutting off the ring, I'm getting set up by people with CRAZY lateral movement like Lomachenko. These people get out of your centerline and throw punches on the side that you don't even see coming and you're powerless (see lomachenko vs piriyapinyo) A bad habit I see many boxers do is that they turn on the spot and they get set up by these punches. Is there a fight where a pressure fighter adjusts and effectively shuts down a boxer who gets out of the centerline using lateral movement like Lomanchenko?I'd like to find my own way using the fundamentals discussed while keeping an "in your face" type of pressure on a short rhythm like Joe Frazier. I've seen people like Mike Tyson do a step off to reset the distance, but i feel like sacrificing ring generalship is not my thing.

    One of the worst things you can do with a Peekaboo style is walk straight in, Its all about your feet man. I know its easier said than done but you need to keep that lead leg on the outside, most successful Peekaboo practitioners had a little bit of a wider stance and I repeat NEVER walked straight in. One perfect example of a fight that a fighter took away angle using the peekaboo is Ronald Wright vs. Shane Mosley. Watch how right kept that lead leg in Shanes way, everytime Shane tried to angle out he was trapped. Also another tip is when a guy has fast angles, jab at the chest, thatll throw him off and follow it up with a 2 to the body or chest once you get in rhythm. Keep your combos real short and simple, if you are orthodox, 1,2 and 2,3's.

      Those guys are just more experienced than you, and as a peekaboo style your probably going to have to loosen up your guard when you fight these guys.

      I learned with the peek style too. But against guys who bounce around like rabbits, you gotta loosen it up to be able to get your punches off quicker.

      Also footwork is a big part of it. when you practice shadow boxing make sure your moving a lot, also make sure your feet are trained proper. You might just be stiff snd slow on your feet, which is why so many fighters are able to move on you so easily.

      One thing I used to do to guys who moved a lot, is always throw my first punch with speed, take the power off it. Your just using that first punch to try and get them to move where you want them, and to find an opening.

      When in doubt, out jab your opponent has always been my go to.

        As these guys said, you just gotta use your feet. If you're stiff and can't move your upper and lower body independently, you're fked.

          I don't advise limiting your self to a certain "style" (peekaboo). You should never force yourself to be a style. Be an all-terrain fighter. Come forward when you need to, box on the backfoot when you need to, lead when you need to lead, counter when you need to. Once you implement that, you will have a better understanding of what goes on in there. Boxing is all about different looks. Once your opponent understands that all you're going to do is come forward, they're going to hone in on that and time you.

            Footwork, footwork, footwork...and don't limit yourself to one style of fighting. Change your patterns, change your rhythm, because at the end of the day if all your going to do is focus on one style, or aspect of boxing, like mentioned above, you're going to get eaten alive.
            Experiment, experiment, experiment.
            If someone is side stepping you or moving laterally to cut you off or to get out of the way, you can try and fight them at their game or you can just move the opposite direction to draw them in, and throw them off their game. There are pro's and con's to this approach but when done right you can use their momentum coming toward you to counter and get out of the way.

              If this is indeed a Palac than take his words and use them.
