Why do southpaws's straight left look so weird?

It's bc they're controlled by the devil. You're obviously a newb if you didn't already know this.

 

Straight left hook?

Are you referring to one punch or a combination?

Your friend is wrong. That's like saying a stadium was built with the outfield walls being further to compensate for the home team consisting of mostly power HR hitters.

 

hahaha ohhhh, oopsies. atsch

Now that I know what punch you're referring to, I can't say I've noticed it looking much different. Any boxers in particular you think it looks strange for?

 

take off that avatar :? scares me

 

Everyone has more sensitive tactile receptors in their left hand. Because left handers are doing things like punching and throwing with their left hand they tend to produce a looping movement of their arm during throwing movements since they have a better perception of the weight, as well as superior spatial perception compared to righties due to that function being dominant in the right hemisphere. These things give lefties a greater margin of error to play with while maintaining accuracy. They tend to use it because they can. In boxing it might get encouraged more because southpaws are taught to move to their right when fighting an orthodox fighter, if they throw a left while moving it tends to loop.

 

i think if you watch a righty and a south paw both punch pads, the south paw will not throw his straight left any different to the orthodox throws his straight right. I have trained with a few south paws over the years and they threw there straight punches correctly. But when hitting a moving target, the punches may appear different because off angles.

 

Its caused by the angles of movement.

 

It should scare you. That's how we do over hur in 'murica.
