There's a couple of ways to get at that, and a lot of it has to do with where your feet are. The book says to keep your lead foot outside their lead foot, and this is true. It gives you favorable punching angles and then you are kind of corraling them with the left hook to the body and forcing them back to the right hand. The left hook to the body, then, is a good punch because you are outside his right arm and he can't hit you there. The straight right to the solar plexus is also a good punch if you slip his jab such that your head ends up outside his right arm. If you can, find some footage of Ricardo Lopez or Barrera fighting a southpaw (the Pacquiao fight excepted). Getting caught with your lead foot inside his lead foot can be a problem as it lines you up for his straight left, but if you know that...I think that going that way opens up some nice body punches with a short left hook inside the right jab. And since you KNOW that the left is coming, some opportunities to counter it with your own very short left hook after slipping it, or using the right uppercut to the body again after slipping the left.
