      just being a Southpaw is a huge advantage in itself. I talk about it on here all the time. I think its the biggest advantage in all sports but times it by 10 in boxing. Most guys really struggle against it, including other Southpaws

        i'm a southpaw and i started doing a lot better when i started to stick my right hand out little farther and a little higher to parry/disrupt my opponent's jab. i also have my left in front of my face instead on the side so i have an easier time blocking straight rights. of course this is just my preference, maybe it will work for you too.

        you might want to show your vids in the Training & Nutrition section next time, you'll get better constructive feedback in there.
        Thanks, and those sound like great techniques im gonna try those and see if they work for me. You can see it in the video the other guy landed a straight right and this might work. Thank you for sharing i appreciate it a lot. And im gonna post it there now
