I am a southpaw and I have been boxing for a few years and these are a few things I have picked up: 1. like so many people in this thread have said before, keep your right leg on the outside and circle to your right. I like to use my jab to keep them from putting there left on the outside. 2. Use the jab like crazy. most orthodox fighters cant handle it very well because it is at a weird angle and they usually do the same thing each time you throw it. once you see what they do when you throw your jab, faint one and work off combos from it. also you want to cut off the ring to keep them from putting their foot on the outside as i said earlier. 3. the right hook is difficult for orthodox fighters to handle. Follow with one after the jab and try and double up on it on the body and the head. 4. when your fighting on the inside, the left uppercut comes from an angle that is very effective against orthodox fighters. 5. if you want to avoid the right hand, when you see it coming, keep a tight guard and circle to your right, when you see southpaws get caught by the right hand its because they are not moving in the ring enough. it is pretty easy to get on the outside as a southpaw just because it is so awkward for your opponent. 6. If you are fighting defensively and your opponent is chasing you and you are consistently circling right, set up your opponent for the left hand. They walk into it about ninety nine percent of the time. The most important part of a southpaw's game in my opinion is the jab. a southpaw with a good jab is lethal because since orthodox fighters don't know how to handle it, it can be used to set up a lot of your game. if you want to see a southpaw with a good guard that doesn't get hit by the right hand, watch winky wright. His guard is practically impenetrable.
One very moronic thing that I find southpaws do is turn their backs when a left hook to the body is coming to avoid getting hit on the side of their rib cage. Stupid maneuver as they don't seem to realize that when they do that the hook can still hit them in the back of their ribs or their kidneys.
