James J. Corbett once said, “Too much cannot be said of the value of sidestepping. Simple sidestepping to avoid punishment is like a job half done.
The man who uses his head as well as his hands and feet, however, will usually figure it out so as to deliver a blow at the same time he avoids one.”
What’s so significant about this quote is that Chocolatito employs this technique in his bout to a great effect. After obstructing his opponent’s vision through a straight right hand, he generally blindsides his opponent followed by a left hook and then connects with a right as the opponent is about to turn.
These movements are so clever and effective, that a bystander cannot make anything of it.
