Taller fighters are also good to fight as well as shorter ones.


The more styles you spar against, the more comfortable you get in the ring vs anyone you will fight.
The left hook to the body against a southpaw is a little difficult unless you stand straight on.
However as your American I suppose you don't have the same acute angle that the European style does. With the European conventional stance it's quite easy for a left hook to the body to stray around a soputhpaws back and be deeded an intentional foul or kidney blow.
