2day i just Tried to go southpaw an i realized im better that way even though im right handed, my jab is much more str8 an powerfull in the southpaw position, anyone right handed fight southpaw? I got more power in my right hand an if i throw my left from the southpaw stance it might not be as effective, is it a good idea to fight southpaw if ur right handed?

Originally posted by Rockin1I used to switch up quite often when sparring, occasionally when I would feel comfortable enough with the guy I would do it in a fight.
The great thing that I found with going to a left handed stance was that my right hand/hook was so close to the guy. As soon as were in close Im digging a hard hook to the body followed by another to the head. I had some great power in those hooks.
I found that if I couldnt deal with a left handed guys style when were fighting then I would switch up to a south paw. Not that I fought better as a southpaw but it appeared to me that south paws in general dont even know how to fight them.
I fought some rounds against a guy from England up at Galaxy. He at the time was the reigning nabf or usba jr middle title holder at the time. He was a south paw and I started out fighting orthadox against him. After not much success I switched to a south paw stance and turned it into a war. I faired much better against him as a south paw. Again, not because I fought better as one but because he couldnt fight them as well. His name was Gary Stretch, he was in a movie that I saw where he was playing some crazy killer.

I heard Bruce lee would fight southpaw becus he believed the stronger arm should do most of the work.

i dnt know if u knew but
da golden boy oscar dela hoya is actualy left handed yet he fight as an orthodox
&
winky wright is actualy right handed yet fights as a southpaw!
which proves dat it definately makes ur jab more effective but as was da case with dela hoya in his early years as a pro- a weak rear-hand! which sum commentatots considered useless!

im a righty that fights southpaw too. i had great power in my right hand, but a weaker jab and hook with my left. so i switched it up...now i have great power in my jab and right hook, and increased power in my left since its on my power side. i feel like a way more balanced fighter that way.
