    i remember sparring with a lad who went on to win a commonwealth (pro)title and i couldn't get passed his southpaw jab.
    he was taking it easy too !!

    I find it ridiculous that we can struggle so much with the jab just because it's coming from the other side, but obviously that's the reality.

    i beat the only southpaw i actually boxed ,but he was 34 and deadly slow.
    there was nobody in our club to spar with either !!

    i fought a southpaw once and i shut hm down offensivly and countered punched him and bored him to death but i ended up with my face bashed up with my hands being in fornt of my face and my nose busted but i battered teh kid around bursting his nose but he got the desicion he guy landed 1 shot on me (honestly)
