In BOXING, learning to move to your right has all but been abandoned. Very few professional boxers, MMA fighters, and the like, are able to move in the direction of their strong hand while also maintaining their stance. And those that can have difficulty initiating their offense while doing so.
The vast majority of these athletes will move toward their right/rear hand FLAT. Moving square in a shuffling motion, much like a basketball players defense, making them both a large and off balance moving target. You will often see this in footwork drills when fighters are first developing; they call this LATERAL movement.
You will most commonly see fighters move to their RIGHT/REAR HAND exclusively when trying to escape a pressuring fighter. There is no other use.
Finding angles in boxing has been a difficult task over the years, and has only been adopted on smaller scale maneuvers that are entirely situational. Fighters such as Mike Tyson, and Vasyl Lomachenko, have made some of these maneuvers famous by the use of shifting/sliding. The opportunity for this technique often requires distance to have been closed, making the angles a multi-step process. However, using correct footwork, effective movement to your right/rear hand can be used off the cuff without any prerequisites. If you find you and your opponent are in the typical stalemate, move to your right.
Being able to move in this direction enhances your ability as it creates avenues of approach that your opponent does not expect. Almost every fighter subconsciously has a "FIELD OF PLAY" in which everything that may occur in a fight will take place in this area. Being able to exploit this common instinct will give you the edge in combat sports as it allows you to stay a step ahead of your opponent.
Forcing your opponent to react to you gives you the ability to control when and where the fight takes place. Forcing them into positions that are uncommon, or unusual will keep them off balance.
