    Southpaws are easy to fight. They are open for the right hand and the left hook and it is easy to neutralise their jab. If i was a southpaw i wud keep moving to my right, feint the straight left and follw up with a right hook and keep the fight in the outside.

    Avoid the right with movement to your right and keep your guard up.

    Keep both hands down and do not move your head. Don't use any foot movement either. Also, don't throw any punches.
