Just look to the Diaz brothers to see what proper boxing technique can do to your stand up prowess. So many guys fail at basics like simple angles for setting up punches, head movement, body shots and liek you said saving up for one big shot instead of setting up shots or combos. Obviously in MMA certain aspects of each discipline can be countered by different techniques compared to say a straight boxing match or kickboxing match, but still, things like jabbing or throwing body punches opens up so much of the rest of your striking.Yep a lot of simple boxing techniques are missed from MMA jabs are rarely used along with crosses. Guys favour big overhands when you can get slightly less damage but protect their chins better with a solid right cross. I get the cross training aspect but its pretty basic stuff which could help a lot.
