i've heard 3 common sayings:

1. the jab of the southpaw guy almost always beats the orthodox guy's jab

2. the southpaw is more vulnerable to the orthodox's right straight

3. the southpaw is more vulnerable to the orthodox's left hook to body

why? how?

Southpaws are the most difficult boxers to defeat.

Esp quick ones.

orthadox fighters normally fight other orthadox boxers. when they fight a southpaw, it confuses them because they don't know what angle the punches are coming from.

The southpaw will generally throw his right jab over the left of the orthodox fighter. It's not a certain thing, I outjabbed a southpaw at my gym but he is relatively inexperienced. The reason southpaws are more efective is that southpaws fight more orthodox fighters than orthodox fighters face southpaws. So they get good at throwing that jab over the left jab of their opponent. The reason they are open to the right is simply because that's the most open path to the head, especially if they are a classic side on boxer.

As for the left hook to the body, it's actually much harder to land on a southpaw, as to get it right you have to step towards their power hand then throw the shot. This leaves you open to a counter right hook.

Here is a thnig about southpaw vs orthrodox thing and how I look at it.

southpaw is a mirror imagine anything that is vurneble to the southpaw will be vurnable to orthodox

a right cross is good weapon against a southpaw as same as southpaws left cross.

another is the distance between the oppenet is an issue. for same stance the the distance between the hands and the body or face is close compare that to a southpaw e****ally someone who put his body back.

most southpaw love to put double jab and then a left cross. fav weapon of choose which the jab sets up the cross but many orthordox love the 1-2-3 which sometimes slower in doing it.

a if a southpaw doesnt jab right or is sloppy with his jab he could be easily be countered e****ally.
