Boxing stance for orthodoz fighters...

could you explain a little better? i'm not exactly sure what you mean.

 

Depends on your style of fighting.

 

it just doesn't sound right . . . your right foot is forward and your right fist back? it sounds like you would be square in front of your opponent and have balance issues

 

What's an "orthodoz" fighter?

 

left foot should always been in front of the right foot, around shoulder width apart and you wanna keep ur body at an angle , just look at hopkins stance, or morales, etc.

 

Go find a boxing trainer not some clown that teaches fitness in the park!

 

I doubt it. You have a ****ed up keyboard, mine goes in alphabetical order. Much easier.

 

so is he wanting you to fight in a southpaw stance? if ur right foot is ahead of ur left that sounds southpaw quite a few fighters do that hatton barrera and more are left handed but fight orthodox so they can use that left hand more iv had a go at bein orthodox even tho im left handed and combos feel much better i just cant get the balance right on my legs in that stance

 

So, let's make sure we're picking up what you're putting down here.

You're being told to lead with your right foot...in an orthodox stance? :blood

 

Depends on how set he is with his style.

Hatton had been fighting as a face first brawler for years, and then tried training under someone who preaches defense and a stiff jab. His style change failed since he was way too ingrained with face first brawling.

Then there's young, talented, and still teachable guys like Amir Khan who are easy to mold.

Anyways, is your new trainer not a native english speaker? Is he having failure communicating to you to tell you fight southpaw? Could you post a youtube video of what he wants you to do?:huh

I had a choice to stay southpaw or convert to orthodox, but I chose the southpaw route. Too many converts end up being one handed fighters with only one good punch.

There's a guy in my city who was doing real great in the amateurs by keeping his dominant hand in front, but he lost terribly the first time he fought out of state as a pro. He is too limited as a converted southpaw; his only punch is a left hook.
