is it just me or do you also think that in modern boxing we see more ppl switching stance than in the past (say 30+ years ago).
I mean,
If a lefty does it (pea, hagler, nunn off the top of my head), ok...
if it's floyd... ok
if it's roy jones... ok
if it's oscar... "ok"
but gatti... what the hell?!?!?
I am talking about switching stance on the outside
is gatti a natural left hander, or are you referring to him switching in the damgaard fight?
it seems to me that in recent times, you see more orthodox stance fighters switching to southpaw stance during a fight (gatti-damgard or even morales-pacman 1)
1) if these are converted lefties (like oscar is supposed to be) I don't know, but I am pretty sure it's not the case with morales
2) southpaw fighters have a long history of switching during fights because they are always trained at least a little bit in orthodox fighting. so when i see a lefty switching i am not as surprised.
3) the main answer i would think of is clowning (I think it was you suggesting that), but I would be surprised if mcgirt trained gatti to switch southpaw for showing off
when Gatti uses his boxing skills to show you off, and outboxes from southpaw, you know you have a problem
yeah more like Houston we have a problem.
Damegaard really needs to think about what happened in the ring that night. I personally think a psychiatrist may be needed to assist him in the recovery process.

in fact i have no probs with lefties switching, they had been doing it like forever, but there seem to be an epidemy of orthodox fighters switching stance, the most surprising example being gatti.

Yeah Damegaard should be ashamed of that. Gatti goes southpaw and starts clowning him.
yikes.

What's wrong with Gatti switching stances? He was setting up his left hook by going southpaw. I think anyone should do it if it gives you an advantage in a fight. It's not Gatti's fault that Damgard has no defence.
look I think you get my point: gatti is not exactly sweet pea.
if damgard has no defense, why would you need to switch to set up a right hook?

yeah, most fighters today have the habit of switching stances cuz they think they're so damn technical.
but gatti... what the hell?!?!?
Yeah Damegaard should be ashamed of that. Gatti goes southpaw and starts clowning him.
