I'm not sure what you are talking about is the same training that I have done.
- I throw a punch.
- My opponent tries to block it.
- Before my opponent's blocking arm touches my arm, I pull my punch back.
- I then use the same arm and punch him on the other side of his arm.
In other words, I use my punch to cause my opponent to block. My opponent's blocking opens himself up. I then take advantage on it.
No, there's more to the training, skills and understanding than that. Can you answer my reply?

It's more of an objective (math/physics) answer. (I will add that Lopez could have slipped the punch then pushed, instead.)
