I hope your holiday is going well

I'm trying to figure out whether the southpaw right hook or left hand is the punch that causes the majority of KOs done by southpaws.

The left hook is the punch that causes most knockouts for orthodox fighters, but southpaws have different angles where their straight lands much more easily than their hook. It might be the straight that is the #1 KO punch for southpaws instead of a right hook.

The reason for this is because the left for an orthodox fighter is the closest punch to an opponent.

It's about footwork, take for example Marquez vs Pac (orthodox vs southpaw)
See Marquez lead foot?

Hang on, forget that, I have an article here that explains it better than i could, 1 mo.
