But when it comes to straight left hand – you can use it whenever you want. Boxers who use this stance have their right hand and right foot farther forward than their left hand and left foot. There are four generally accepted boxing styles that are used to define fighters. This is probably the most important trick you can use against orthodox fighters.Remember that the same principle can be used from the orthodox boxer against you.

The idea is to get out of the range of the punch, so it can’t hit you. He really mastered it. The other cool thing is that by moving to your right, you are basically running away from the right hand of your opponent (the orthodox boxer’s power hand). Some of them (like Rigondeaux) even keep their hands down. You can also move your head sideways (rights) with the punch. That makes them more mobile, helps them see the punches, move their head quickly and counter more effectively (some southpaws love to counter).

Then catch him with a counter left cross as he recovers his guard.Wait for your opponent (or bait him) to throw a hook or an uppercut. Here are the two best (advanced) ways to get the outside foot advantage:And here is how the best of the best southpaws (fighters such as Vasyl Lomachenko and Manny Pacquiao) use these tactics to step outside:It’s easy to make a step with the jab. That will create an illusion that you are closer than you actually are.After the opponent throws his jab, move your head back and make him miss. Many boxers do not always fit into these categories, and it's not uncommon for a fighter to change their style over a period of time.

The corresponding boxing designation for a right-handed boxer is orthodox and is generally a mirror-image of the southpaw stance. Because there is no point in switching in a stance where you are vulnerable for punches.Besides the fact that the orthodox boxers haven’t enough experience, fighting against southpaws, there are two more advantages, you can get when fighting someone in the opposite stance:When fighting against an orthodox boxer, your both lead feet are facing each other. These boxers rely on their punching power too much, and this may result in them losing the fight. Their harder shots are coming from their right hand (which is at the rear).On the other hand, the southpaw fighters, do the complete opposite – their right hand and foot are in front, while their left hand and foot are at the rear.Usually, the orthodox boxers are right handed and the southpaws are lefties.Yes, you definitely can do it. To set the punch up, you can start with the jab (similar to the The principle here is similar to the previous way. And again, keep in mind that your opponent may use the same technique against you if you aren’t careful.Everything is different for the southpaw fighters, including their combination and counter punches. A good stand allows you to move away and around quickly. And the best way to improve your timing is with a sparring partner. Boxers are usually classed as ‘orthodox’ or ‘southpaw’ depending on the type of stance preferred during a bout. If he pivots, pivot with him. Orthodox is for boxers who are right-handed and the southpaw is for those who are left-handed. Fighting in a southpaw stance is believed to give the fighter a strategic advantage because of the While rare, the reverse is also true for left-handers; left-hand dominant fighters like While rare, cross-dominant MMA fighters and kickboxers could also benefit from fighting from a southpaw stance.

That’s because by using it you will make your opponent used to the straight punches you throw. That will make him run into your moneymaker – your left hand.The easiest way to get the outside foot advantage is just to place your foot there.

You can use them to trick your opponent, without opening yourself.That’s why faking the right hook and then stepping on the outside of your opponent’s lead foot can be more effective than throwing a real hook.To do that, you first need to bend over and throw some body shots (even simple jabs can work). After that, you can easily get the outside foot advantage. For all of Mayweather’s flaws, he remained undefeated because he understood the basics of boxing and knew how to get out of the way of punches like nobody else in the world.Boxer punchers are well-rounded, and slowly break apart their opponents.
