Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance

I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

I've heard lots of opinions over the years about how to stand when #boxing and what I'd like to understand is why a wide stance gets shit talked as a bad thing. anyone know why?

all I know is Justis Huni stands wide as fuck and he has had tremendous success, is a national heavyweight champion, and he is extraordinarily mobile, evasive, and versatile from it. so what's the basic idea that a wide stance is somehow disadvantageous?

or is that no longer the received wisdom
