Southies
are interesting. I boggle my own mind sometimes. As for my favorite one, i cant really say. One reason, is i dont know/havent watched enough southpaw fighters. I actually go online just to find a list of names of southpaw fighters
then go look them up on Youtube in hopes some of their fights are on there, So i can scope out their style and all. The second reason being, im honestly too intrigued with all the different styles. I find them all fascinating. From Winkys seemingly simplistic yet effective style of peekaboo defense, To whitakers slippery headmovement.
As far as studying videos of southpawed fighers, im way ahead of you there. I find alot of my free time i spend, sitting in front of my monitor, munching out and trying to find videos of acclaimed left handed fighters (or any fighter that caught my attention) So i can sit there for about an hour or two studying their footwork and little tricks in the ring (Whitaker was one guy who i really rewinded and replayed for). Sometimes i dont come out with much, due to my lack of understanding of the fight game. but sometimes my studying pays off and i learn a trick or two.
Currently i found a videos of Micheal Nunn, which i've never heard of prior (im not too boxing savvy on history and all), but i now find out he was voted a P4P fighter. Im watching his fight with James Toney right now. Its quite a lucky find because one of my sparring partners has Toneyesque defense and head movement. So im trying to see what i can pick up and apply myself.
p.s. Tabin you really needa recommend me some videos or southpaw fighters to do case studies on. I scour the net for new fighters to study. But I find it frustrating when i have to find and watch fighters that are brand new to me. It makes it harder to know what i should be watching for. I could find a extensive list of southpaws, but theyd all just be names to me. yknow what i mean?
like i recall seeing jiro watanbes name somewhere and trying to look him up on the tube. But i dont remember finding any of his videos.
