"I think I misunderstood one of the points in this thread, so please forgive me if I missed something. How are fighters closing while taking a step with the rear leg first? It can be done (it happens to me) if the attacker sets up an angled move (or sidestep, but that would be orthodox if moving right) after a strong combination (standard). But if I see an opponent's rear foot move forward I usually jab or (if I'm not totally gassed) pivot around the advance. Sometimes I teep. But it's very easy to see and react to because the rear foot moving first leaves the opponent off-balance - usually. Also it telegraphs a bit. Did I misunderstand the previous statements?
Thanks for your help. "

I think he (twisted) is reffering to being in a more traditional boxing stance, feet set wider apart then he says "step in deep with rear leg first". In other words, when closing the gap with the jab in a wider stance, step your rear leg in closer to your lead.....narrowing the stance and fire of the rear leg forward with a jab. Covers more distance (closing gap) than a more traditional shuffle type movement. I dont think he is implying step forward (rear leg ahead of lead leg) or cross over with the rear leg........ This may not be right, just how I would interpret it....? Who knows?
