    i have movement and power in both hands is pretty equal in ne stance. I mean if i do it in a spot so my legs wont get get ****ed up if i get hit by him would that be good and a huge advantage to put ppl off.

    I would say so, provided of course you've trained southpaw a few times. No use switching just for the confusion factor if you lose the punch factor. If you can fight well in both stances then switching always has it's advantages.

      No just move your lead left foot to your right and cut off the ring some more.. then throw a jab, watch them move back to your left as you move your lead foot back over in that direction.

      No need to switch stances...

          You cornered yourself in Walmart when it was closed and starved to death.

            depends man, like everything, it depends.

            Personally, I only switch stances when it will really pay off. You'll do better from your natural stance, it's what you train in (at least for the most part). Anyone who says otherwise is lying. IF you can corner from your natural stance, than stay in it.

            Vers, for you, I've noticed that you have a little more of a square stance when cornering. I don't think you should be focusing so much on your "Stance", so much as your opponent. Since you stay squared, it doesn't really matter what stance you're officially in. You seem to like staying square, so don't worry about your "Stance" and just focus on bullying your opponent into staying in that corner. I'm not implying anything negative with that, it's just that you're more of a brawler/bully fighter from what I can tell. But you do it well man,

            Peace,

              i personally would go with exige's approach.

              not to big-up myself, but i can throw hard with both hands too, and my trainer usually makes me train southpaw sometimes "for balance," but unless youve practiced from that stance, i wouldnt use it. while the offense might go up, it is harder to defend because the punches seem to come at you from different angles.

                    I would be concerned about getting caught with somthing while switching up or just afterwards. I've seen some great pros pull it off well, but then again i've seen some people paying for it, and being less effective.
