    But if your ortho facing a southpaw you should probably slip inside right? like a mirror image of judah

    Yeah, that's what I figured. That makes sense. I was just a little confused about orthodox vs. orthodox.

    Just my mind going here, but wouldn't it just as easy if not easier to slip outside and counter with the left uppercut? Or would this be a bad idea do you think? Orthodox vs. Orthodox of course.

    That's what I was thinking, too... as it seems throwing with the right means I have to throw across my own body and under his jab... seems like throwing the left instead would be more efficient, possibly even more powerful.

    when slipping outside you are in no position to be throwing a left hook or a left uppercut, if you do there will be no force behind it.

    Because you would be on the wrong foot, the uppercut would be worthless. You could slip to the outside, duck underneath his arms to the inside and then throw a left uppercut.

    A beginner's question: is it right saying that this kind of defensive uppercut is best for a left-hander against a righthander's left jab and for a righthander against a lefthander's right jab? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm boxing since 2 weeks and trying to learn wherever I can.
