I belive that RK got the concept of blocking/covering as he does from Muay Thai,in the Muay Thai ring because there are 6 more weapons you can use other than your hands it is a valid cover,
however the Thai fighters never just cover,the idea is as soon as a hand touches your shield you use another weapon at the same time,i call it touch and go,as soon as something touches your cover you go with a attack of your own either elbow, knee, or kick.
I dont think it(covering) is a great defence at all for just boxing i would prefer to evade and hit or move and hit,of course on both of these scenarios hitting first would be the best option if possible.
