I used to do this a lot, but now I'm orthodox. It seemed to me you have more options when switching up between the two. Whether you're in between a combo or wanting to set something else up.

Any of you guys tend to go south paw when orthodox? Or vise versa?

I have only fought one AMA, fight I dint as a southpaw, but half way through the first round I turned right handed, and KO the guy with a straight right hand.
Anyways, Im naturally right handed, but I feel my combinatios runs smoother as a southpaw an my defense is better, altough as a righty I get more leverage for my Power Punches.
So I dont know is to stay asa southpaw, or go as a righty!!!!!!!!

I think I'll switch between both. I have power in both hands and it just actually suits be better because of leverage.

And my right jab is so much better than my left jab.
I guess Ill do a Juanma. use my right hook more.
Not to be talking My self up But My, style is very similar to DLHs.(obviously not as talented).
I guess it will better for me, since my defense is much better as a southpaw!!!!

Tyson often switched to a southpaw stance quickly when cutting a corner of the ring off, just so he could land his more dominant right hand.

lol, I thought you meant switching up in a different way. Switching up like Tyson really doesn't count as switching up in my opinion. Simply because of the peek-a-boo. C'mon, your so square in your stance that it doesn't really matter. Your hands are almost parallel if not then they are parallel.
I switch up my stance all the time though. Just depends on how I feel, my mood, and the situation. When Im southpaw, I tend to lean towards speed and numerous punches. I also like to use my right hand for most of the work in southpaw. When im in orthodox, I am more balanced and can unleash bigger power shots. I can only use the philly shell from that stance too. I also developed a technique for cutting opponents up but I can only throw it from orthodox.
So I use both.

The only time i go orthodox nowadays is when im sparring and i'm on the inside. Mostly to throw the left hook to the body from up close, it doesn't land as well if i stay southpaw.

I found it's a key to switch up when I either cut off the ring, or switch the direction of my movement and since I dont really care which stance to fight from it suits me well.
