what to do if fighting left hander?

Answer 1

Blogbaba always switched to southpaw, stepped inside and made a brawl out of it. It's easier to slug it out with a lefty than to try and box one, at least for me it was. My best friend was a deadly southpaw with a crushing left hook, I had to learn to fight southpaw just to survive with him, so I had an edge on most conventional fighters going up against Lefty's. We grew up together and from elementary school til today we trained together. If I would have know the people back then that I know today, my buddy would have been a rich man, but old age ended that. The blogbaba's life is like a Bruce Springsteen song, boring stories of glory days.

I am assuming that you are a right handed figher (aka orthodox) attempting to box a left handed fighter (aka southpaw). There are a couple of important rules of thumb to keep in mind:
-keep your lead hand one inch above your opponent's lead hand. This will neutralize their jab. With your hand slightly above theirs, you can knock their jab down with your lead hand every time they throw it.
-keep your lead foot on the outside of your opponent's lead foot. This will allow you to move to your left, away from the south paw's power hand. It will put you in a position to throw effective shots while the south paw cannot.
-throw the lead right. This is a very effective shot against a left handed opponent. However, beware, because this is common knowledge, so an experienced southpaw will have had orthodox opponents throwing the lead right all the time, and will know how to deal with this shot. Test it out on them, and see how they react. On some fighters it will work, and on others it won't. But it's worth a try.
-parry their jab with your lead hand and counter with your right hand and hook. Knock down their jab and immeadiately counter with a fast right or a hook.
-throw the lead uppercut to the chin. Paw with the jab for a bit, and then a feed a lead uppercut straight between their hands. This shot is also effective on southpaws because you have a very clean line, however, you have to be fast and can't telegraph the shot.
-on the inside, try to keep your lead foot on the outside of their lead foot. That way you can angle off safely and are in position to throw punches. Here's a dirty trick: if you are having trouble getting this foot position, step on their lead foot with you lead foot. You can just act like it's an accident and you have clumsy feet, unless the ref catches on and calls you on it. Then it's time to stop.
So good luck boxing your southpaw opponent. They can be tricky. The problem is that they fight orthodox fighters all the time, and you will only see a southpaw once and a while, so they have more experience than you.

well---if you're fighting someone who is naturally ambidextrious, life can be pretty tough---Pinklon Thomas gave Tyson a pretty good fight, and Aaron Pryor was an awesome fighter who could switch it up at will.

I am a righty who was taught to fight left-handed, and I don't think anyone ever had a real cause to fear my left---but they did, and that set up my knockout punch, (such as it was) which was a right. I had problems with people who would circle toward THEIR right, toward my left, and double up the short right-hand jabs. I had, have, a strong body and can take a body shot, but when someone goes southpaw and you are moving your right and doubling up on the right jabs, you can fake a looping left and come in low with a hard right to the solar plexus, and that can be a knockout punch if you get them right. Good-luck
