if u were balanced in your orthodox stance that seems dumb as hell converting fully to southpaw instead of being a switchhitter. if u already know how to fight like a righty but want to learn lefty too u might aswell mix them up.

if u come out as a righty then switch, that fast left should be able to score some points before he makes the necessary adjustments. and the right hook will be a shorter and quicker punch then the overhand right, so u can surprise him and catch him cleaner if u came out righty to begin with. if it has the power u say u can set up KO punches by switching at the right time, use the fact that punches come from diffrent angles depending on what stance u are in and confuse your oponent.

tbh i thought about becoming a switchhitter myself. there are more important aspects of my game that need improvemnt first before i take on that big a challenge learning a whole new stance, which will take some time. but being able to master both can help u out tremendously, boxing is all about making adjustments and outsmarting your oponent. if u can switch effectively and be comfortable in both stances thats a great, great advantage. doubles your arsenal of punches and gives a whole new dimension to your game.

It's not that easy to just "convert" to southpaw.... Try to just get in sparring with alot of natural southpaws, but you'll probably end up switchin back in no time... I hate it when kids think they can just convert to southpaw like it's that easy, no it's not, you arent Rocky Balboa dude.

i can do it

[hateinyaeyes32]

i can do it

Go for it dude... If you can do it then more props to you, but if you do then like the other dude mentioned you shouldnt become exclusively southpaw, be a switch hitter like Andre Dirrell

yeah i'd suggest usen both but while learning southpaw nothen wrong w forgetten bout orthodox for now jus now tho till ur comfy w southpaw then throw in orthodox again....course i Luvvvv fighten soutpaws to me they are easy to beat guess i've learned from Bernard but hell its easy to throw them left hooks and right str8s down the pipe...lol...i'm jus blessed tho i guess most guys have hard time with lefties

I am left handed, thus a southpaw naturally.

There could be some disadvantages if you are naturally orthodox.

i love my left cross today and forever hehe, now that im a southpaw it gained so much speed unlike before my orthodox stance my right straight was too slow ,i get used to southpaw so fast , becoz i really wanted it.. ! thanks for the replies guys !maybe i could be a switchhitter but i will be using my southpaw as main stance .. ..maybe time will tell if i would comeback to orthodox again
