I was takin quite a bit of punishment once and I decided to switch to orthodox to try and throw him off a bit. I wasn't careful enough and he caught me with a big right as I switched. I pulled myself together but I haven't bothered to switch mid round again after that incident! :puppy_dog

i've tried it got tagged pretty hardcore because i wasn't used to defending from that angle and never tried it again. but i bet it would have worked better if i wasn't 290 at the time.

i do it sometimes, but my trainer makes me train southpaw sometimes cuz he thinks its good for balance. so it works for me, but i can throw a straight left as good as any southpaw.

All the time, when I'm sparring and start getting fatigued I switch into a Winky Wright style, high guard southpaw style.

Because your naturally right handed your jab is going to be a little stronger and I use it to get a breather. But I'm almost in love with the style. My trainers aren't all for it as it eliminates my left hook from the arsenal, but the **** works. Period.

It may eliminate your left hook but man can you dig a solid hook with your right hand when in close. I love to dig it under and then bring it over, hard shots they are while traveling a very short distance.............Rockin':boxing:

True, true.

The right hook does feel somewhat awkward to me, as my left hook is more natural punch and I've been told that "if I ever used my left hook on the street, that I'd been going to jail." I use all 6 feet and 6 inches to leverage into the hook when I'm conventional, but it seems like when I try the right hook my hips don't create that leverage.

It's all one-two's when I'm southpaw.

Rockin', What do you think are some of the disadvantages of Winky Wrights style compared to a basic conventional stance?

Doesnt throw a great deal of punches, some times even though he is not being hit the opponent can steal the judges eye with activity. Mind you Winkys defense is awsome and he is great with it but it can allow rounds to be stolen from him even though hes not getting hit much.

as well as you cant counter that much.

you either defened or attack.

If you go with southpaw- rely on your straight left - right hook combos and not your jab. Relying on the jab and using it like an orthodox fighter can get you in some really bad positions if the other guy knows what he's doing.

In a fight of southpaw vs orthodox, it's all about positional dominance. A fighter that understands this game will use positional dominance to disable one of the opponent's arms and make it a 2 on 1 type situation. A lot of guys who switch-hit don't really understand this and tend to get caught.

Switching can become a very bad habit.

Your left jab needs work.....
