I didn't know pac was really a righty, did you?

Kelly Pavlik is a lefty that fights conventional. People under rate what he can do with his left.

 

Since my left handed brother sat to my right at the dinner table....

 

cotto is a lefty ....but fights right both have solid lefts:bbb

 

i'm right handed but whack off with my girlfriend's left and right hand:yep

 

i am southpaw and agreed...:happy:happy:happy

 

Of course. I picked up a cup with my left hand the other day.

 

Weird. . .so you got a natural right-hander who fights southpaw against a natural left-hander who fights orthodox but occasionally switch hits a la Hagler. There's gonna be lots of lead rights and lefts and left hooks come fight night.

 

Some people can be right handed, but left footed. Not everyone is left sided or right sided only.

Right handed southpaws will have a heavier jab, but lower punch power in the left hand.

 

In the case of De la Hoya, that's the reason why his best puch, far and away, was always the left hook. On the flip side, he was so completely dependent on it that, I believe, this was a major reason, weight drain issue aside, accounting for the disaster against Manny Pacquiao. I have done some sparring and am a southpaw. You see, when a righty uses a left hook against a southpaw it's only going to find the glove of the southpaw's right hand held in the guard position, the exact opposite of what happens against an orthodox fighter. It's a relatively easy punch for the southpaw to block, evade or deflect. Oscar's lack of a solid right hand as well as the inability to switch hit like Cotto or Hagler was a major handicap that night and he was really clueless from the opening rounds.


I have already written elsewhere about the ambidextrousness of Hagler. The guy was somehting else, in a league and class all of his own. His greatest KO, the Hearns KO, was a direct result of this since the punch that really rocked Hearns was a lead right thrown from a very awkward position.


JuanMa Lopez is yet another, quite rare type of fighter. He is a right-hand dominant southpaw, meaing that he fights lefty but the money punch is the right hook.

 

Roach talking **** again

 

What about Moorer and Whitaker? are they right, left or ambidexterous?

I swear i've seen David Haye favour his left hand for things, anyone else seen this?

 

Who cares after the Cotto fight he will be a good nighty. :rofl:rofl:rofl
