many fighters that face an opponant are looking to defend against many strikes, punches kickes etc.
there are many weapons your opponant has that you must be aware of.
by understanding angles and distance, simply by positioning yourself in a certain place you can control what strikes your opponant will throw, or more realistically narrow down the strikes he can throw making it far easier to defend as you have less weapons to worry about.
with experience you learn by simply moving a little one way in close he can only throw a right punch or a little the other he can only throw a left.
further back same with kicks, in very close only elbows.
once you practice footwork and work your angles and distancing, it will became easier to not only have a better idea of what he will most likely throw, but control what he will throw, make him throw what you want in order to defend and counter
by controlling the ring and the pace, and the movement, you control him leading him into traps, don't fall into his.
body positioning, feints and eye movement can also cause him to throw at parts of your body you wish him to, enabling you to counter with a pre planned strike.
this can enable one to beat a faster fighter to the punch, watch the older fighters who have slowed down but continue winning and learn.
