I understand what you're saying I think you don't understand what I was saying. In other words I feel like when you're foot is on the outside there's more right things that can go for you then wrong (assuming your opponent doesn't know how to properly take the inside angle) compared to having your foot on the inside which will put yourself in a position which you're more vulnerable IF you don't have right idea in mind which is what I'm asking. What is a must to do when having the foot on the inside?
Because if what you're saying is this, doesn't matter where your foot is just box then there would be no article on this inside and outside angle. There has to be a right and wrong way.
Don't quote me on this but I can bet there is more knockdowns when the opponent has stepped to the outside compared to in. That being said I'm trying to find the nuances to make taking the inside more successful.
You need to pivot. Turn yourself so that you are facing the center of his body, hands at the ready.
Keep in mind, though, that the weak angle, as I've termed it, is a vulnerable position for both you and your opponent. Yes, he can step to the outside of your foot to land his cross, but in doing so he straight up gives you the opening for the jab, which should be much quicker than his rear hand. You'll confuse the hell out of him if you let him step past your foot only to immediately stick him in the face or chest with your jab.
Then you pivot fully to the inside and let go with the right hand or a left hook into the middle of his face.
Edit: a guy, which post are you referring to? My page count is probably different from yours.
