Did hagler ever fight a whole bout in an orthodox stance?

Leonard fight, I think,

No he didn't , he boxed a few rounds , then changed back to lefty.
Some felt that cost him the fight , not boxing southpaw for the entire fight.

Yes Hagler gave the rounds away and it ultimately cost him the victory. I think he was being too clever for his own good.

Oh dear..

We all just witnessed today in the under card Hugo Centeno knock out Del a Rosa by switching then going slightly square on then slipping to the outside and sending his left hand rear right down the pipe on the change in a perfect set up.

Exactly Andre.

To add to this, I have seen many times, an orthodox fighter try to throw the right hand as 'send-off' as the opponent is moving across them but remain in an orthodox stance only to get nailed with something in return. Usually fighters who are not as athletic as they think.

If they did as you mention, they would actually be better equipped to defend themselves.
