Im just beginning boxing and i was wondering Being a southpaw how do you beat a orthodox im 140 pounds at 5ft 3inchs and i am right handed please help
if your right handed what the fook are you doing as a southpaw? you should be orthadox, you have your strongest hand at the back, so you should stand left hand forward. your not trying to be rocky are you? cause it wont help you atall!
you need the strongest hand (your right) to be at the back so you can turn the whole body weight into it.
but... it all depends on your opponents fighting style. if hes agressive as hell, your gonna want to be more defensive, circling away from that stronger right hand.
however, you say your 5ft 3 which is fairly short (dont worry im a short ass too) you might not be able to stik on the outside, cause your opponent is likely to have better range than you.
get that footwork to a fine art. when the throws straight shots slip inside and work him t the body. you have to make sure your guard is fully up as you move away from him, otherwise your gonna get popped right in the chops!
after a couple of them hes gonna be sucking in wind like a proverbiable hoover, and thats when you can start to form an offense.
defensive people are a bitch, and if hes trying to counterpunch you have a problem.
try to establish eye contanct with him, then go for the oldest trick in the book, look at his body and punch to the head! fake some jabs to open up his defense and get in there hard and fast. once you got him where you want him, keep punching, and moving to his left hand side!
hope this helps, and if you got more info on your partner, give me a shout.

im 11 By the way so im not that small and i triedorthodox against my mate and it didnt work i changed to southpaw i knocked him out in the 2nd
what the hell? you knocked your friend out, but your 11, right...
do you go to a club, cause talk to a coach about your stance. if i gave you a ball and asked you to throw it, what hand would you use?
alex
my friend is 12 I would throw a ball with my right hand
then you should be boxing orthadox man!
i know it feels wrong to have your weakest hand doing all the work, but trust me it will pay off!

You know what you need Banjo?.....................a manager, the night I knocked out Guinee Russo was the same night Firpo knocked Dempsey outta the ring and guess who gets all the publicity? Dempsey, you know why? because he had a manger.
haha! an 11 year old kid with a manager!
BONUS! but memphis dont you think the kid should be orthadox, he throws a ball with his right hand, which is clearly his strongest!
alex
with killer punch power like that who is going to argue with him 8)
lol, not me, hel knock me out too! :boxing2:
just think, if he can knock his friend out in the wrong stance, imagine what he could do in the right one, Vitali watch your back!
