    Best punch for a Lefty?

    What in ur opinion is the best shot to use against a Southpaw?
    Many feel the Straight Right hand delivered down the pipe is the text book answer for the southpaw style - See Zab Judah vs Kostya Tszyu

    Many feel its the left hook which is delivered from the southpaws blind spot, and is far closer than the long right that apparently has along way to travel all in the line of view


    Im just curious what the general feel is!

      Left Hook does more damage, but the right cross lands more often

        Really no right or wrong answer. But i think there arent enough great lefty trainers out there.

          I'm southpaw and in the sparrings the punch that I have the most problems is left hook.
