It is a good defense against a barrage of punches, as you are pretty well-protected. As you note, you have to cover your groin by turning your lead knee way in, instead of staying in more of a boxing stance. The value is in surviving that initial onslaught so that you can take over. Remember that most street encounters will be ambushes, so you probably won't be in a boxing stance in the first place. If you do end up in a kickboxing mode, you will want to attack as soon as possible then get out of Dodge!
