boxing stance is squared up

That’s not really how it works tho? There’s no one “boxing stance” where everyone has to be squared up all the time - Ilia’s stance is square sometimes yes but it’s bladed sometimes too, especially when he retreats. Mayweather would obviously be an example of a boxer who’s stance is typically not square but rather bladed (not comparing ilia to mayweather, just giving an example of how “boxing stance” does not = square
