That's right, I have a book by old timer Mike Donovan that says he showed him that move. I'll post it up in the near future if you want to catch up on some neat stories. I'd like elaborate more about the move later today.

It's common knowledge that to deal with a southpaws main weapon you should use a right hand, and not ony to the head, but as a counter to the body. I think it's also important to fight for foot position because that will determine what options you'll have. Just look at Bernard Hokins/Tarver, he knows how to deal with a southpaw and his footwork and counters says it all.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
