How do I best use the jab as a southpaw?

Watch this:

And this:

The Zapata fight, use that as a starting point. He had a tremendous jab but, for the life of me, I cannot recall who he was fighting in the fight that stands out in my mind. Also, check out Jiro Watanabe, and the 2nd and 3rd Gonzalez vs Carbajal fights.

Sorry for the late reply thanks for posting excellent advice as always mate and taking the time to upload these videos!!!





For any southpaws out there a few extras off the top of my head...(learnt on here from the above videos and online)

Slightly slip/bend left to send a jab through their guard.

Circle right and send a jab through the gap (one of the best ways thanks strictly)

Parry their jab and jab back while watching out and moving away fro the ever threatening rear cross.

Jab low to the body.

Lower stance for a bit then pop up (not your chin) then fire the jab over their lead arm

X2 Jab through their lead arm and to their head. (classic way always works for me)

and lastly power jab with your hip after throwing a lead rear cross (gets you back to a safe distance nicely)
