sparring lefty

[Vendettos]

Hi mate.

I'm a southpaw so you can imagine I almost always spar with orthodox fighters, so this is the same but just reversed.

I do what you would do against me, I step away from your lead right so I'm always stepping to your left, I like to wait for the orthodox jab, and see what he follows it with.

If the guy I'm sparring is throwing just jabs then I wait til he's thrown it on about 4 separate occasions then I throw the straight as he try's to jab, it can be hard to time, but ill happily take a jab to land a straight.



Another solutions is to try the sort of hook that Pacquiao sparked Hatton with, you can easily change your body position to throw a straight provided the angle is right.


However if he has had few amateur fights and did well and you haven't then he may just have too much knowledge for you,it'll also take away a bit of the fear he may have had before he was in a real fight.
