Dude, this video alone had helped me train to be a much better southpaw boxer. The way you explain things in this video and in the others I've seen so far make so much sense as to why I get hit so much. Being a southpaw boxer is much more technical than an Orthodox boxer. There's always that extra pivot or half step, or foot drag or shift somewhere. It is NOT as most orthodox coaches think as in it's just mirrored Orthodox boxing.
I can't believe it's been over a yr and I'm just now seeing these. My last fight was over a yr ago and been needing to get back into to keep myself sharp. I appreciate your channel and what you've taught almost us leftys since "we ain't all right" 😅
I'm glad you said about keeping your rear foot on the ground i didn't realized that until just a while ago and i will have to get used to that. since i got little bit of a habit to not do this until it was pointed out to me by my brother.
Very informative video. The attention to details is amazing. This will be a staple of my daily drills. Will now look at your other videos for southpaw instructions.
Thank you BIG TIME, Arthur! Your UA-cam channel is a BLESSING 😎🥇🔥. Personally, as a southpaw boxer, I manage to out box my orthodox opponents (study a lot of Winky Wright and Errol Spence) because I train as a boxer smart with much dedication. I’m also a BIG ADVOCATE of shadow boxing 🥊 🔥🥇. I’l even shadow box about 20 + three minute rounds because I visualize and physically work on my punches, defense, and counters. Thank you for your knowledge! I save this video and a few more to a UA-cam playlist that I created. Thank you SO MUCH my fellow boxer and champion. May my Mighty Lord Jesus Christ ALWAYS bless you. 😎🔥🥇 🥊🥊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖✝️
Outside of boxing in a melee, as a southpaw facing a southpaw I immediately like that one two punch. As shown that right knee comes popping out and the foot slants inward. As he shoots the left, drop and sweep that knee. That left punch has to switch mid flight to a grab If you are dodging to your right counter intuitive your head is already going to your right. Your head probably is already out the way, if not do a "dab" right hand up to face Now bring your left leg quickly round as your dodging and hook that right knee from behind and push it forward. Youre kind of breakdancing but you're now with your Opppnent entirely to you're left and tumbling over. You can swing left over his chest using thier momentum to get ontop and with your right arm if your dabbing pin by the throat or if not find a weakness his head or whatever. That leading knee is the key. OUTSIDE Boxing. In a real fight the feet are dancing but punching always is slow motion. I don't fight to show off or some shit. It's just something I have occasion to do. Most guys I fight are fist fighters or pub hard men who throw a few punches above the waist People with skill are a challenge. This guy I think would slaughter me he's fitter and I think smarter and experience to know I'm coming with knees. But a life or death fight you have to think creatively. If I see a right jab with toes pointed. I'll bring my left leg in raising my right arm as a feint block or jab and remove that knee. If he's pivoting back hell be on his ass. Again if we Weren't boxing. Right knee, sweep forward and as he pivots hell fall down then just climb on knee to the groin and punch eye socket the join between the bones at the sides fast. Temple. Throat, eyes.
I once again repeat Outside boxing. Boxing is a sport and fair play to it its fun it has rules and they are there for a reason. But fighting is not fun and there is no choreography for lack of a better term. The stakes are higher You can lose an eye you can lose an ear. You can lose your life if you aren't careful. You need to stand edge on make a smaller target and you're on the defensive because you're not a dickhead. So you need to watch your opponent. See how he fights. Too many go for a straight boxer stance and neglect thier legs. If you're a smaller guy remove them if you're medium height like me then play box a bit but watch the feet. When they point thier toes inward like this sweep and end it
If you want self defence watch krav maga, but remember the boxing. Feet are inportant Stance can shift like kung foo movies where the guy does a lot of misdirection with this fists. Look at his legs as he does this. It will unbalance him at some point. Imagine there's a ball just above his pelvis. Attack that bend and snap and wail on his face when he does that. There's no honor. There is you and living do you see that shit. Take his centre of gravity and pummel
Excellent video, really put the pieces together for me. I was wondering if you can please go over slipping and rolling as a southpaw, against both orthodox and southpaw boxers.
Practice moving your head more LOL. Work on slip rope. Spend your first 1-3 rounds of shadow boxing by not throwing a punch but only focusing on your footwork and head movement. A beginner drill would be to get on a heavy bag, shoot a jab or left hand, and move your head off of the center line.
Good video. But the problem that I run into was that my jaw was somewhat exposed to his jab at less I kept my shoulder both high and forward and have my chin down and i had to be very diligent about it. I tried to step with my lead foot to the outside and then pivot. but I couldn't do it simultaneously so i don't know if i still wouldn't get hit. i didn't actually try this way against someone trying to hit me back and i wouldn't know if it this is a good idea or not. But as i move I generally try to move my right foot outside of his lead foot and turn to the side (kind of like a pivot) to attack from his left. would it be safe to step outside of his lead foot right before you pivot? Or is it a bad idea and it would be better to just pivot and try to put your shoulder up and forward and tuck in your chin and hope this will be enough to stop his jab from hitting you from your right side?
I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to throw your left hand after you pivot whole 90 degrees? He would have his left hand to protect him but the same would be true if you were throwing a jab or a right hook that doesn't mean he will be able to block it every time. And you can hit him in the body just as easily as to the head with your left cross. the disadvantage is that he would have left hand to offer him little bit more protection but there is no guarantee that if you were more squared up to him your left cross would hit him even if there is a good chance it would he still has protection when you only pivot 45 degrees or so as well. Also when you are at 90 degrees you are completely safe from his right hand and even in order for him to use his left hand he still has to turn towards you. I don't understand why after throwing a jab you shouldn't (not always of course) throw a left cross flowed by right straight for example. also in sports other than boxing the 90 degree turn would make it easier to get opponent's back. I'm not saying you should use this huge 90 degree turn all the time but its just as valid of a position as pivoting by 45 or 60 degrees there is more you can do from this position than just jabs. isn't there?
Very informative video. Quick question for you..I'm a right handed, orthodox boxer. I'm thinking of switching my stance to southpaw due to injury. Not trying to turn pro or be a serious. competitive boxer or anything..maybe just eventually fight in a few Master's Tournaments( I'm also old. LOL.) Any advice for switching to southpaw, overcoming the awkwardness, and becoming more natural with it? I like jabbing with my strong hand, but my left hand feels totally useless. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx.
@@PalacBoxing I have mild/moderate osteoarthritis in my right hip. I don't necessarily need to switch, but the hip gets sore after a few rounds and it's distracting. I do rehab exercises daily, which keeps things from getting worse, but it won't get better without a hip replacement, which I want to put off as long as possible. A little bit of background info on me...I'm a martial arts striker who has done some boxing on the side. The injury was caused by years of kicking. Since my kicks aren't effective anymore due to the injury, I want to focus more on boxing. Although I have some amateur experience and I have done a lot of sparring, I have a lot of bad habits as far as boxing goes, so I'm essentially trying to start over and learn things properly. I I was watching an old video of myself fighting in a full contact martial arts tournament, and I noticed I was fighting southpaw to keep my strong leg in front. (When I boxed, I was always orthodox).I noticed I was moving well and landing a lot of jabs and right hooks, I just didn't throw many straight lefts. This gave me the idea to switch now, because I notice my injured hip doesn't bother me when I'm in the southpaw stance, and I'm a little more explosive moving in and out. I still feel very awkward defensively and throwing combos. I'm thinking since I'm essentially starting over anyway, it might be a good idea to switch stances and just drill more with the straight left to make it stronger. As a boxing coach, what do you think? Thanks for the response, and keep up the great work.
@@keithsheppardpiano you can definitely drill the left hand to get more comfortable with power and technique. So long as you don’t sacrifice the well being of your hip.
I'm a right handed southpaw , I use my left cross almost more like a jab and follow up with powerfull right hooks due to my leading hand is my strong hand. Saying you throw a 3 piece combo your throwing your dominate hand twice instead of once in say jab-cross- hook . Altho of the injury is your right hand I'm not sure what's best . I stand southpaw due to injuries in my legs as I also do mma and want my damaged leg at the rear so can't be kicked
Best Southpaw videos anywhere 🥊🥊
Thank you very much!

That’s an awesome take on the importance of shadow boxing. Too many people fail to realize it’s importance.
We need more videos. They are excellent and thoughtful.
Thank you.
Very informative & will practice this
Excellent video, very good detail thank you. I can’t wait to train tomorrow.
This instruction is gold. Thank you! So 1-2 pivot would also work for orthodox fighter vs southpaw fighter.
Yes it would.
Can you do some 1 2 pivots during a light sparring? Would be good to see it in action

Excellent video, really put the pieces together for me. I was wondering if you can please go over slipping and rolling as a southpaw, against both orthodox and southpaw boxers.
I just recorded a video today, on how to use the heavy bag to smother/slip your orthodox fighter's right hand. Should be up in a couple of days!
Your dad a genius
Thanks!
Cool videos
Thank you for watching!
Thanks this was so helpful! Hopefully next time I can put strike him next time. How can I have better head movement as southpaw vs orthodox?

You deserve more likes !! Your videos are good
Thanks.
Pivoting in front of an opponent isn’t always smart
Lots of areas of misinterpretation when it comes to boxing, nothing is 100% when it comes to boxing. .

Thanks for watching!

Not an end all be all tutorial, since there are so many factors that play into one's defensive and offensive strategy in the boxing ring.
What if I'm against another southpaw because then I'd go into their strong hand. Should I roll under there right hand and pivot left?
You can always angle off or pop out to create enough distance so you don’t get hit
@@PalacBoxing thanks can u do some head work for southpaw. Like where to slip/roll against a southpaw and orthodox.

The simple answer is , I don't ask any of the people I train to be in my videos.
Nice content, but to long video, short it down please.
Thanks for the feedback.
