The Southpaw Stance

[Easton Assassin]

Oscar was pretty crazy anyway, in his prime. He just should never have fought Hopkins. His ego got the best of him in that one. B Hop was way too big. That loss put Oscar on the permanent skid.

Agreed. Hopkins was all wrong for DLH, Trinidad should have shown oscar that!

Oscar Delahoya is a natural lefty who fights from an orthodox stance.

And Chad Dawson is a natural righty who fights southpaw.

I think it might depend on your money punch. Some fighters have a better "weak hand" hook than their straight "strong hand", Micky Ward or Marco Antonio Barrera for example. When a fighter's money punch is the X hook to the liver, I've always wondered why they don't put their dominant hand in front so they can land that crushing hook to the body with their stronger arm.
