ho my. I've often thought of this myself, circling towards his power hand. Then all it would take would be a simple slip of his straight right, and i'd be on the outside of his rear arm and he'd be defenseless. But for reason i had the idea that it would be a bad idea. Since everyone is always saying defensively for a southpaw, circling left is a good way to get your block knocked off.
I really need a better understanding of how to use my footwork defensively and offensively so as to cut them off before they do it to me. I find that when i feel im trapped, i get backed up too easily, instead of circling out and away.
