OK I'm trying to get my head around this. I don't think I have any hope of understanding how t works for a southpaw just yet so i'm going to dumb it down for myself.
Are you saying that as an orthodox if I jab their right hand - say step in with the jab front foot only - step that foot out out when they respond - then i can go back in again and be inside. So effectively they have made up the distance for me because they thought I was much closer?
I kinda get that jabbing to the right side of their head as they jab might also help because if they drop or their right hand or overreach with their jab - which is easy to do - they are wide open. It doesn't seem to need a big slip to avoid the jab either - at least it seems that way for me in sparring lately.
Am I on the right track or way off Scrap?

. For every action theres a reaction if you see a jab you react whether a slip aparry or to get rid of it knock it over your shoulder. Now normally when throwing a Jab you are getting your distance, or if the other guys smart hes getting his distance of your jab. Its playing games with his senses and distance, but for it to work properly your back foot wants to be under your back shoulder. So you can move it back and still have posture and balance to draw him after your jab touches to counter with long hooks or straight rights depending which foot youve turned with the step. The jab touching the back hand alters his perception of what to dotheres a fraction where theres confusion with balance. A good indecation of this is Joe Gallazagie, when he keeps hitting the other guys gloves he knows where there hands are and is safe and they are in confusion not being able to start anything, he will pitter patter while having a look whats on offer. Nothing upstairs then he will hook downstairs. Hope this Helps
