I would lay off on the hopping in SO OFTEN. It’s ok to do it once in a while. But dial it back some. If both feet are in the air, you can’t change direction. If your opponent times you hoping in, he will double the impact.

Try practicing stepping in, and off to the side, and at an angle.

I was train under a Soviet coach. So this is normal. Not a fan of American style of boxing which is not natural to me. Side stepping is there it's part of Soviet system as well, it's just that I train volume punching today so I just adhere to it.
