    Default Whos a good southpaw to watch who fights on the wrong side mostly?

    Most of the time you are told to keep your front foot on the outside of a southpaw and vice versa so he is in line for your straight right or rear left cross punch.

    But some southpaws prefer to keep their foot on the inside so they can use their jab and front hand hook, and cause another level of confusion for the person facing them.

    Can you name a good southpaw boxer who does this alot?

    Thanks!

    I think that a very good fight for you to watch would be the following. Don't listen to the commentary, just watch. There is a ton of strategic stuff going on here, positionally.

    I view the lead foot to the outside as a lesson for amateurs. Not the seasoned professionals.

    Just like "keep your hands up"

    Amateurs and Beginners should rely on the basics and stick to the fundamentals. After that, every rule can be broken. You are always taught to never cross your feet. Tell that to Rigondeaux.
