Southpaws

Winky is a converted-southpaw. Don't know too many others though.

 

That is the most bull**** I've ever heard.

 

Southpaws are amazing if I had my time again i'd have boxed this way- I can do both.

 

Paul Williams is a right handed south paw I think.

 

Their advantage is disappearing as they're getting more and more common.

 

I'm also a right-handed southpaw . Huge advantage since I can throw my lead hand with power shots also

 

Ok, but can you throw your straight left with the same power as your straight right? I know for me, I'm almost more comfortable in a southpaw stance, but I lose a lot of power in my back hand. I'd think is common for righties who convert over.

 

Yes, I actually can't throw my right hand for **** in an orthodox stance

 

Tarver is a right handed southpaw.

 

No he's not, he writes with his left hand so he's either a lefty or ambidextrous, not a righty.

When southpaws were rare there was a total lack of familiarity with the fighting style because there were no decent fighters to spare with who were lefties. Orthodox fighters, as a result, had serious trouble adequately preparing for the new angles/positions presented by southpaws and were at the mercy of that dreaded straight/lead left/right hook combo.

Now with there being more lefties out there to spar with, the aura of mystery surrounding southpaws has disappeared and , thus, fewer people are converting to gain an advantage that no longer is as pronounced as it once was.:bbb
