    Advice needed please :good

    I consider myself an excellent padman, i have good variation, fast hands,good knowledge of distance and decent fault correction until.............
    I have to pad southpaws, then it is like i never held a set of pads, like i never even put together a three punch combo, or even that i am just a complete ******.
    Any tips for padding wrong uns?

    Not a coach but I imagine it's the usual.. Time and Practise. It'll seem you are more ******ed at it than you actually are as you've become so used to Orthodox. Just keep working on it.

    Do you turn southpaw when you do it.

    I sometimes do pads, and I stay orthodox to do southpaw pads and I find it easier to do.

    Stand orthodox. It is very rare that they will have to face another southpaw. You standing orthodox will benefit them far more.

    I find it natural stuey, think about what advantages a southpaw has then go from there, angles etc

    whatever the opponents stance is shoukld be the way you stand,if you stand the opposite way it give a false impression of distance between the two fighters
