In recent memory Miguel Cotto tried to pull this in his fight against Zab Judah although his judgement was a bit off.
If memory serves Fitz used that to set up a brutal left to the body
Alot of what Noel's hinting at here in this piece,is that in a normal orthodox stance,its natural to feel a little exposed to a southpaws power shots.Now alot of guys(and a lot of southpaws) deal with this by shifting to a power hand up,jab hand down stance,when theyd be better served by remembering,the southpaw is every bit as exposed.Go to their power side with power,just get it off first
