Are there drills one can practice to develop this ability to read a punch like this guy?
Includes:
1. double end bag, slip bag, slip rope, shadow boxing
2. partner drills (partner throws punches, you defend, better to add movement)
3. pad work (trainer throws punches, you defend)
4. Attack by drawing: entice opponent to throw punches by dropping your hand(s), then defend. It can be easier to time this way.

I've seen similar thing being done in sanda where many are trained in orthodox striking but throw in moves that considered poor boxing or useless. As mentioned if they are done well and in conjunction with orthodox striking these sorts of things can really mess up someone who is only conditioned under orthodox boxing.
Yin/Yang strategy: attack unorthodox/orthodox, attack from outside guard/inside guard, circular/linear, up/down, etc.
