This is known as the concept of broken rhythm. We will discuss it in greater detail later. An in-fighter will fool you with his range. He will jab at you and purposely let his punches fall short in hopes of tricking you into a false sense of security. When he sees that you are secure at a distance that he knows he can strike you, that s when he strikes.
Most boxers are in-fighters.
If you watch boxers, they tend to stay just out of punching range, but with so much as a slight lean forward they are able to strike with incredible power. One of the biggest assets of an in-fighter is his footwork. They are almost never off balance. As you would against any fighter, you must try to disrupt their footwork, it s their foundation. Without it they are useless.
