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

[Chr0nic]

i usually end up southpaw when i throw a hard right hand

It's a big decision. You just gotta weigh the good with the bad from both angles.

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

Southpaw is something you ought to avoid, if possible, at the professional level. It might be an interesting tactical ploy against certain opponents, but becoming a southpaw creates a management problem. Nobody wants to fight southpaws if they can avoid it. Go orthodox and make your manager's life easier.

I like to switch to stance if the guy I'm sparring hates fighting southpaws

[AztecWanker]

I'm naturally southpaw and I used to switch to orthodox but I eventually learned to stay southpaw, it works a little better for me and the footwork feels more natural.

sure you aren't just saying that cause Tyson liked to do it a lot? I know you are a big Tyson fan.

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.

I was doing that before I even saw Tyson on video a lot.

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.

Same here! Try switch southpaw when sparring a southpaw, they're clueless you can **** them with stiff right jabs all night!

[-Hyperion-]

i do that **** a lot........i just feel my defense is much better as a southpaw...but i wanna stop doing that........

I'm right handed but fight as a southpaw.

I'm very relient on the jab and i've built the straight left up to the point where it's almost as powerful as the straight right.

it's obvious some of yall have never sparred a round in your lives. it's never a good idea to switch your stance unless you have been trained in both stances, if your a conventional stance and switch to southpaw, your opponent will outland your ass all night long. You are not gonna magically beat the guy in his own stance, if you want better leverage work on your balance and practice throwing punches in different angles, and body movement.

don't listen to some over weight bum on a computer try to tell you it's a great idea to switch your stance, specially during an actual fight, it's like setting yourself up to get ktfo
