    Are there any fights I can watch that demonstrate an orthodox fighter neutralizing a southpaw's moves?

    As a southpaw, I dislike right hooks because their not common.

    Move to your left(try to keep your lead foot outside his), left hook, straight right and don't give up on your jab, try to land it from angles moving to your left.

    Kostya Tzsyu fought a ridicules amount of southpaws in his career. He smashed everyone of them.

    mate as a southpaw all i can say is keep your foot on the outside and don't let them in close if his foot is outside. but just watch some good southpaws fight.

    When he jabs, slip left while moving forward, so your now in the perfect position to unleash hell onto his liver or left hook his head.

    When you see straights or hooks, weave while moving to the right so you'll end up facing him directly... throw any combination you want from here

    Shoot them. All southpaws should be summarily executed.

    This.

    I also like the 'stomp on their knees then kick them in the ribs while they're down' method.

    As a southpaw I must say we don't have souls. We love to jab and throw right hooks. The best method is to jab back and throw left hooks. Hook to the body hook to the head, hook to the head hook to the body. Keep your straight right active, and keep up the pressure! (At least in my experience)

    Hooking to the body and head or visa versa would leave us open for the right hook u love to throw

    I love to hook the body. They dont seem to expect it as much.
