Fighters that lead with their natural hand???

This is how I see it. Though I make the point again that it wasn't a concious decision. I think it's a lot easier to learn to get the power into the back hand than it is the lead hand as it has more distance to the target. I find it makes my jab more of an offensive weopon.

 

Some fighters are comfortable with either. I'm certainly not comfortable orthodox but I switch occasionally just to throw a quick left jab to catch the distance. There's also a trick that right-handed southpaws can utilise, which is tothrow a jab followed by a left cross that intentionally misses (just) to make the opponent move to your left. You can then step forward into an orthadox stance throwing a quick powerful right hand straight down the pipe!!!

 

I always wondered about tommy morrison.

He looks like he is a natural lefty.

Do you know?

 

For me it is more to do with the feet and the hips.....

...so no. (IMO)

 

Again I think it has a lot to do with dominance patterns. But I'm no expert on the subject.

It's the same reason you get right-handed people that play golf/guitar etc left handed.

 

I am no-where near sorting out my left hand. But a shoulder problem I have flaired up a while back and I was unable to work with the right so much, and my left hand improved ten fold!!!

 

That would appear to clarrify that one then.

 

Yeah it is more common. Some trainers will force fighters to be Othodox no matter what.
