    From personal experience i would say if your left eye dominant your better off fighting orthadox, when i started out boxing i used to fight from a very side on stance a bit too side on as ive come to learn through my time boxing, but at the time it worked well for me, i could use a shoulder roll quite often to get out of the way and i felt i could see punches coming from all angles quite well despite the fact that sometimes my right eye (non dominant eye) couldnt actually see my opponent all the time which i have only just realised, even now if i find myself or my opponent in a position where my dominant eye is the only eye that can really see whats going on i feel a lot more comfortable that i can see what my opponent is doing a lot better than i do if they where say to my right with my dominant eye in a position where it cant fully see my opponent, i havent found any scientific proof of this, but this is just what i feel is true atleast in my case and even before i learnt about eye dominance and cross dominance i always felt this was the case, its just now as im beggining to understand how the eyes work that ive come to think maybe this is why i adopted and felt safest in that sort of stance due to being left eye dominant, despite the fact that people said i was turning my head too much, i could still see fully what my opponent was doing and felt comfortable doing that, whereas to do so on the opposite side with my right (non dominant eye) i dont feel as comfortable and feel i cant pick up on movements as quick as i can with my dominant eye. has anyone else had similair experiences with this or is it just me? i would really like to know because there doesnt seem to be much study on this sort of subject available online and maybe through the experience of others i might find out if anyone feels the same way?
