About the Southpaw Jab

[GrandpaBernard]

Is there any benefit for southpaws to drop their left hand when they shoot their right jab? I notice manny always does this.

[{Pito}]

Yeah ive noticed it too, his left drops to about lower chest level

Someone with a good right could exploit that, step to the right and fire!

[J.Dempsey]

Maybe so he maintains visual on left side? Or maybe coz he comes in so fast no ones gonna capitalise on that?
I don't see benefit for us mortal boxers :P

Southpaws aren't southpaws no more once you get them on the inside. I hated being swarmed. How is your inside game?

It's a bad habit unless you have the reflex and speed to use it as bait and capitalize with a counter.
