I've a competetive sparring fight coming up in a few weeks time and the guy that I'm fighting is a southpaw. Both of us are at a similar level and this will be the first ever fight that either of us have had. It's an in-house fight for guys that have had little or no sparring experience that want to further themselves to becoming boxers.
I've researched and been given tips on how to box a southpaw with an emphasis on throwing overhand rights, left hooks to the head and body and to keep your left foot on the out side of his right foot. Great theory but any southpaw would know of these weaknesses right?
So my questions are if I am to try and keep a step ahead of a southpaw fighter what will they do to to avoid exposing themself to their obvious lefty weaknesses and will they box me the same that I intend to box them but with their overhand lefts, right hooks to head and body and so on?
Ta.
