Fighting switch hitters

Look for flaws (bit of a duh advice I'll admit) and don't let the switching confuse you. When he switches fire the right hand immediately, or jump in at the switch. Make sure he can't get his weird angles on you, get angles on him or get really close. You need to break his game in some way.

 

Theres no advice as such, dont know what youre capable off. one Thing dont lead, let Him.

 

Why do you say that scrap?

 

Not sure but a lot of slippery guys are counterpunchers who want you to come at them. Some do less good if you let them come at you while you patiently study their flaws. It does depend on what he can do, and how the slippery guy fights.

I tried it in a fight and lost because I wasn't active enough. Did much better in close on the ropes but for some reason I listened to the crowd yelling at me to get out of there.

 

Try being passive aggressive. Stay close enough to him but don't follow, cut the ring off instead. If he just wants to counter, he may make some mistakes when forced to lead.

 

I think the best interpretation of this was as an example Barerra v Naz. Dont give Him distance, let Him give it to you and counter the counter. Keep on the back knee sticking a easy jab out and taking that half step back. Then you will find out how clever He is. :yep

 

Why cant you switch hit OP?

 

Pressure usually works for me, though I can see the point about letting him lead. I feel like if I back him up and impose myself constantly, he'll be having to switch right in front of me on the back foot. Sooner or later balance is bound to become an issue. Or I'll catch him on the ropes, and good luck with that, you slippery little switcher you

He can only fight one style at a time so use what you know against each (ie right lead against southpaw, keep your left foot outside his right etc.). At the instant you see him CHANGING from righty to lefty or vice versa you better close the distance immediately and be on him with some straight solid shots to give him something to think about. It's in this transition where he will be vulnerable.

 

Take a minute to see what he's got, you might find that some of his punches are weaker or of worse form when using one stance. You might find him predictable when switching....switch hitting takes alot of getting used to so unless he's mega experienced then he will have weknesses
