Southpaw BOXING STYLE

[LoadedWraps]

The more I watch boxing, the more I see patterns of a southpaw boxing style.

I used to think southpaw was just a stance but lefties share many characteristics. There seems to be an unpublished style among them.


-Majority of southpaws aren't inside fighters

-The 1-1-2 is the southpaw version of the classic 1-2

-Most don't land heavy punishing jabs. Their jabs control range and probe

-Straight left hand is the money shot. A southpaw whose right hook causes the most damage is rare

-Southpaws seldom hook with the lead hand downstairs


A boxing style formed due to the natural disadvantage and advantages of the southpaw stance.

Is there a southpaw boxing style or am I fooling myself?

Southpaw is a stance, not a style. So much varies beyond switching stances.

I bet you also think all styles which use the shoulder roll are the same as well.

Elementary boxing mind, my friend.

He's right, ya know..

Southpaw is just a stance, and you don't have to be a leftie to utilize it.
