    Ok, I'm a southpaw... but when I slap box with my other southpaw friends it seems odd to me so I just throw right crosses all the time. But what other tips could I just fighting a fellow southpaw?

    I'm not good at this either

    As a southpaw, I always unconsciously circle to my right and walk into big shots from other southpaws

    Either circle toward your power hand or switch stances

    I don't know how they would.... you're forgetting that they teach us how to fight against conventional fighters not other lefties

    Why the southpaw hate? Its no different for you to fight him than it is for him to fight you.

    You guys are as bad at opposite side forward as I am at same side forward.
    The game plans are different at a fundamental level.
    Maybe try what I'm doing and switch when you come across a southpaw, so even though your tools are all reversed at least you're playing your game and not his.

    I was thinking about that, but I'm a right handed southpaw. So I feel more comfortable with my dominant hand forward. So I guess I would have to train in an orthodox stance for awhile
