Tyson could do that easily because he was a converted southpaw

nearly any converted stance fighter could do that because its natrual both ways

these fighters also are the ones who have KO power in both hands

IE
Tyson
Marciano
etc

im right handed, but to be honest i find it more comfortable in the southpaw stance. i like jabbing with my right, and i also feel a bit more balanced in southpaw position.

i box orthodox but i find myself constantly moving to southpaw without knowing it.

ofcourse a right handed fighter will feel more comfortable in a southpaw stance in the start

Yeah I can throw hella fast jabs with my right, but its only good for points, cause I dont have alot of power in my left

I'm functionally ambidextrous, I play some sports righty and others lefty. I box southpaw, and was recently sparring with a more experienced fighter at my gym who had a major reach advantage; he was kicking my ass, really controlling the fight. I switched up my feet stepping in, and the moment of hesitation that it took him to adjust gave me an opening wherein I tagged him with a solid 1-2 L/R instead of R/L. I did it twice more and it messed him up each time, though by the third time I could only land the left jab b/c he'd figured it out. I need to work on more combinations but I've only been at this a few months.

I've done this with a few fighters, now, and the best application I've found as yet was with that tall guy; switching guards helps to close fast from long attacking distance and it throws your opponent into the defensive, as they have to adjust. Some trainers at my gym scold me for it and others think it's OK as long as I don't rely on it. I'll probably keep it in my bag of tricks but not rely on it as a technique per se.

alot of trainers frown on it for some reason. Even though I can win rounds easily jabing with my right in soutpaw stance. I can also change the pace like you said. It confuses people when you switch. If a guy is coming at me pretty hard. I'll switch and jab him off. But then I have to run laps when I get back to the gym Oh well what are you going to do.
