Southpaw question?

I disagree, and I am a natural southpaw, so I speak from experience! The jab, no matter what stance, style, height of the fighter is, is still the most important tool in boxing! We already know which punches works for a southpaw when facing a righty and vice versa, and that is the straight punch and the lead hand hook. But without the jab, especially if one is planning to land the straight punch will have to work behind the jab to be effective. Why do you think alot of righties miss when they try to lead with the straight punch, because they didn't take the time to gauge the distance with their jabs. That's why you see alot of misses by righties when facing a southpaw. I know, I meant sometimes the angles can make it awkward for the jab to land effectively but the jab still can work against a southpaw, and I agree, the jab is the most important punch in boxing.

Actually trainers used to tell orthodox fighters to pop their jabs at a southpaw because it's closer to their heads, some still do. But the angles provided in a southpaw vs orthox matchup can make jabs less effective.
