I've been on a binge of southpaw vs southpaw fighters in recent days and was wondering if someone can recomend some of these matches to include in my list....what are some great southpaw fights you would recommend? so far I have watched: Whitaker vs Ramirez I & II Whitaker vs JC Vasquez JC Vasquez vs Winky Wright Hagler vs Minter Hamed vs Kelley Saldivar vs Seki I & II Nunn vs Cordoba I Camacho vs Limon Camacho vs Solis Camacho vs Ramirez Navarette vs Boza Edwards Limon vs Navarette Limon V Navarette & The Saldivar vs Seki fights are the ones I would suggest the strongest so far...what other fights do I need to add????
Hamsho-Minter Hagler-Hamsho I Jim Watt-Charlie Nash You can't go wrong with the 130 pound top men of the post Arguello era, Navarrete, Boza Edwards, Limon and Camacho.
Hamed is a switch hitter who is more righty. Along those lines you could include Witter-Corley (Witter is a right handed switch hitter) Tarver-Harding 2, Tarver-R Johnson, Judah-Spinks 1&2, Jirov-Moorer, Alexander-Urango, Martinez- WIlliams 1&2, Quitana-Williams 1&2, Judah-Corley Edit I just read 'good fights', so I've bolded the ones I personally liked
I love it: Tarver KD's Harding Ref: Are you OK Harding: Yeah ref: Are you sure: Harding: I'm from PHILLADELPHIA!
Yep Still got battered after Didn't Tarver say 'are you trying to get this man killed' to the ref? Tarver looked like a killer that night
I've watched Wright-McKart 2 today for the first time and it was pretty good. I haven't seen all of Pacquiao-Diaz but it's good if you wanna check out Pacquiao's combination punching even though he overmatched Diaz.
Dawson-Tarver 1 was a schooling and could've been a shutout had Chad not gave away rounds(his lack of focus cost him the Pascal fight). Dawson-Tarver 2 was good, I'd check that out to if you can.
What are the differences between watching southpaw vs southpaw compared to orthodox vs orthodox?:think
Probably not a huge ammount from a technical standpoint, but as the huge majority of boxers are orthodox that is how you train for the most part. So when a southpaw is faced with another southpaw they are as out of their element as an orthodox fighter facing a southpaw...and then it is who is able to adapt the best.

I also watched d red 1s , but also : Nunn vs Liles , Tarver vs Harding #1 , Tarver vs Dawson #1 and maybe a part of #2 , at least a part of Dawson vs Harding (or did i completely score it ?) , and most probably a few more . I usually do not care and unaware of fighters' stance when i watch fights at least .
