SOUTHPAW FIGHTERS-I've helped make an innovative counter-punching resource simply for you!
These southpaw counters demand even more capability to setup and also execute than the fundamental southpaw combinations and also counters, yet they likewise happen with some substantial benefits. You'll land more challenging punches along with more impactful timing AND/OR receive right into far better dealing with roles.
As well as for those of you thinking about, the response YES-these techniques do help orthodox boxers experiencing southpaws also ... if you practice good enough.

Advancing past the CROSS substitution

When you've fought as a southpaw long sufficient, you'll understand it is actually always a video game to attend who can easily land their rear cross. It's a lot of feints, reach-ins, and also pull-backs, just before an individual ultimately lands their cross. Either the orthodox competitor lands his RIGHT cross or even the southpaw boxer properties his LEFT cross. It is actually almost like nothing else blow issues as much.
It creates sense because it's very challenging to land hooks in orthodox-southpaw match-ups. The foot positions create it to ensure you're either landing feeble little punches or even large crosses. And also it's most likely that whoever lands more goes across is actually probably winning the fight.
The innovative counters I discuss in this guide will aid you acquire beyond merely thinking of the cross. It'll assist you enter placements to create your right hook a hazard, which consequently, creates your left cross an also much bigger hazard! I'll also show you some brand new perspectives to intimidate with your left hand in order that's it is actually certainly not simply a foreseeable trustworthy left every time.
There is the disadvantage of you being countered harder so you'll possess to set up these techniques smartly!

1. DOUBLE-LEFT as you stroll outside his punch

This is actually so smooth and also excellent, merely stroll it. Be laid-back with your maneuvering as you stand out two left side palms to his face while you get around his front feet. It shouldn't be 2 full-on left side crosses yet additional like two fast top lefts. The objective is actually to distract him therefore he doesn't discover your role modifying. Manny Pacquiao has actually done this many times throughout his job. The strategy operates properly versus right-handers who are very watchful of your left.
If there is actually any type of suggestion I can provide you, it is actually that you require to pay attention to maintaining him busy along with your double-left somewhat than trying to become easy along with your maneuvering. Be fast up steps and tranquil downstairs! The instant you acquire as well eruptive with your maneuvering, it'll alarm him and he'll just back away. You yearn for to infiltrate on him therefore you can land various other blows prior to he understands where you are.

2. RIGHT HOOK over his stab

Responding to a punch with a hook seems therefore extremely unlikely for a lot of explanations. You're most probably to receive recorded in a jab war which stops either of you coming from getting close enough for the hook.
One ingenious approach is actually that you PERFORMN'T throw your punch. You trade your hook for his stab. What you do is actually plunge your mind down a little bit of bit, you can even bend over a little (towards the 10 o'clock instructions), and at that point when he stabs down at you, just put your head up and also hook him in the skin.
A lot of excellent examples of this right hook counter along with other approaches I discussed in this blog post.

3. STAB under his jab

This is likewise an additional unlikely angle. Normally in a southpaw-vs-orthodox situation, both fighters are attempting to stab OVER each various other's jabs. It's even more natural for your arm to loop each other outside, making it less complicated to steer clear of AND respond to a challenger's stab through this. To punch on the inside (and UNDER) his punch, we'll must utilize a couple tricks.
The first tactic is actually to droop your head lower and/or flex your knees a little bit of when you stab under or on the within his punch. This prevents his punch from resisting you over the leading. The second tactic is to combine up your inside punch; there are actually two techniques. METHOD # 1) Sometimes you punch OVER his punch, in some cases you stab UNDER it. TECHNIQUE # 2) Sometimes you punch inside to his head, at times you stab inside to his body.
This technique is extremely successful considering that it compels your opponent to guard on each edges of his front arm. He'll think that spells may arise from OVER his frontal upper arm or even INSIDE his front arm. Boxing gloves and pads is actually that you're sidetracking your challenger a lot with your stab varieties that he doesn't observe some others dangerous counters (like the previous "hook over the jab") and even the really next one ...

4. DIPPING LEFT against his jab

Basically, when your opponent throws a jab, you pitch forward a little bit of bit dipping your head in a little as you toss a left cross. (The difference is actually that your right shoulder stays a lot more ahead in a slicing left, vs drawing back in left cross.).
Coming from the outside, it looks like you could possibly be conveniently resisted by an uppercut to the head or the physical body yet that isn't what your rival sees. To your opponent, a plunging head can appear like a blow to the scalp OR the body. The dipping left behind to the head has a number of options as well; you can make it an upright left palm to the face or even an untamed looping left palm over the top (Pacquiao-style).
This is just one of my absolutely favored counter-punches to make use of in an orthodox-vs-southpaw fight. You can easily observe Nonito Donaire knockout Vic Darchinyan along with this precise strike.
There are many reasons this hit is so effective as well as also so straightforward to make use of:.
1. The drive of your rival's mind developing into his best cross matches wonderfully with the energy of your right hook stemming from the side. The extra vigorous he is, the extra impactful your right hook.
2. It is actually almost inconceivable for your enemy to obstruct your right hook when he's throwing his ideal cross. The drive of the right cross will certainly rotate his face ahead as well as naturally draws his left shoulder back and away further revealing his skin. His handwear cover, if it's anywhere near his face is going to very likely remain in a loosened up setting ready to throw the next punch instead of placed cramping to his image for defense. Even if he handles to cover his chin, his holy place as well as the side of his crown are going to still be actually revealed.
If you know where to appear and also just how to time it, there are actually simply too a lot of responding to possibilities for you to reach your challenger throughout this appropriate cross. Thus why at that point do even more boxers certainly not utilize this amazing counter? I'm supposing it's not intuitive. Boxers will generally fight for as well as resist on the very same edge, favoring to defend as well as resist a challenger's right hand with their appropriate palm, and also the other way around. Yet another reason is actually given that throwing a best hook against an inbound right cross seems like you're still prone. It either thinks that you're certainly not evading his hit and also your head as well as body are actually still open, or even if you're averting from his punch it believes that you're revealing your back to him.
My ideal assistance is to stand your ground, be actually positive, and try to find the right time. The greatest time is when you find his mind convert forward throughout his appropriate cross. (Many competitors are going to turn their heads ever before therefore somewhat to the left as well as right during the course of their punches.) When you find a boxer turn his mind in to the cross, that's the perfect opportunity to land your right hook. The consolidated momentum may cause a ko conveniently. Yet you must be positive, be actually aggressive as well as put all your concentration into the counter instead of considering evading/slipping his ideal cross. If you land your right hook effectively, his correct cross will certainly never happen!
Today if you absolutely really want to toss this correct hook AND move your scalp evasively, there are actually two methods. One is to just switch your head/body away during the course of your hook; simply be actually cautious of his cross landing on your jaw when you transform back.
Your opponent throws a punch, and also you dip onward with an easy left hand right to the physical body and after that pull out with a massive right hook to his crown. Our company're wishing he is actually captured unprepared good enough through your left behind to the physical body that he intuitively pulls his arms forward to protect leaving behind the side of his face available for your hook. It actually doesn't matter if your remaining palm properties, it's only certainly there to sidetrack him! You may likewise do the opposite, attempt an organized left to the skin and afterwards side your right hook his physical body. This trick operates so properly!

7. LEFT UPPERCUT TO THE BODY due to mid-range

The southpaw left behind uppercut or left behind hook to the body system is actually most likely some of the minimum utilized gos in boxing. Lots of fighters feel vulnerable to move chances when they drop their hands for a physical body chance. This is actually especially the instance when you're a southpaw against an orthodox fighter; it seems like his body is actually as well away to hit and you're also cautious of his highly effective right cross.
Generally when your crown is actually dipped right in front end of your orthodox enemy's appropriate hand, it is actually certainly not as easy for him to toss a best hand at your head from there. Anyhow, the method is to get your scalp to that setting as well as throw your left uppercut or left hook to his body system from there. You can leave your head in location as you spin only your top body (at an up diagonal viewpoint) OR you can easily turn your entire top body as well as head to the correct side (at a parallel viewpoint).
You desire your head to be rather directly in face of his appropriate shoulder. I've taught this approach to competitors just before and also what some of them performed was actually lean their head BACK as if to make an effort as well as be actually additionally away coming from the correct cross. This is NOT RECOMMENDED as the extra area actually makes it much easier for your opponent to land his ideal cross, as well as a lot of knockdowns/knockouts have been triggered this technique!
Male, I actually like exactly how he throws that nigh side palm to the physical body. I may see just how it's wrecking as well as incredibly difficult to protect versus (especially when you're certainly not sure if it is actually going to your chin or body).


The energy of your enemy's mind turning into his appropriate cross matches completely with the momentum of your right hook coming from the edge. It is virtually inconceivable for your opponent to obstruct your right hook when he's tossing his best cross. Another cause is actually given that tossing an appropriate hook versus an incoming right cross feels like you're still vulnerable. If you land your right hook well, his right cross will never ever happen!
Primarily when your crown is actually dipped right in front of your orthodox opponent's appropriate palm, it's certainly not as very easy for him to throw an appropriate palm at your crown coming from there.
