Circling to Defeat Foward Pressure

There are those boxers whom we dread. The come forward, straight forward...closing...crowding and punching. Hard. Thse guys are no fun to deal with. If you try to meet them straight on or stand there flatfooted, you are going get clobbered as if The Thing from the Fantastic Four was the one who did the clobbering.
You can't stay there moving your head and covering/parrying his punches. They will get in and he will eat you alive.

This is why you need to employ circling.

Circular movement footwork is often neglected. Yes, people in boxing classes are taught circling footwork, but they time they spend on it vs. moving fowards and backwards and side to side is minimal. However, circling is very important as that circular pressure is what will save you from such forward, pressure charging when you are faced with it.
