Can you please make a video on what to do about evading the overhand right as a southpaw

@TheModernMartialArtist

@@marquisechapman1391 Honestly the two most effective ways are the most dangerous lol You can intercept with a tight cross or weave to your left under it, setting up a counter. But a cover block or stepping back in a high guard will still work if you have accurate timing. Check out the first four fights between Manny and Marquez. Pacman keeps getting caught with overhands, then starts using a step back high guard instead and that works well. But he doesn't use it all the time and when he tries to pull and long block or roll he keeps getting caught. You can also step in to smother depending on your style. If all that fails use a karate x block! lol jk.

Its more common nowadays to found southpaws than it was decades ago which adds more flavor to boxing. Tho I was surprised as a natural lefty (Like I write with my left, not just for boxing) that the southpaw stance is used by more right handers than left handers. Crawford, Hagler, Shakur Stevenson, Pac man, Lomachenko, etc all write with their right hand (at least in every photo I’ve seen them sign). Actual southpaws who write with their left are Usyk, Whittaker, and Tank Davis

Hagler was a good switch fighter. Southpaw to Orthodox. It made fighters feel weird with the sudden change in stance.

bought footwork wins fights highly recommended

Keeping the outside foot position in an open stance is especially important when sweeps and leg kicks are factored in. In karate, a person who steps forward and jabs on in the inside is susceptible to a foot sweep and take down. Looking forward to that video on switch hitters! Keep it up. This channel is great.

I was born in 1970, a time when kids who were lefty’s were often switched in schools. I’m right handed, but fight as a Southpaw. I used to dominate my friends when boxing. I would switch instinctively. As I matured I started training both. Good video.

The beauty of "Southpaw"!

Good content! The late great Marvelous Hagler is my favorite middleweight fighter all time. Rest In Paradise Marvelous Hagler 🕊️🙏🏿🙏🏿

I was similar to Manny Pacquiao when I was a teenager. He’s only a year older than I am. But! Let’s say we were both 14 at the time. I still outweighed him by 30 lbs. my footwork was better and like him I had speed and power in both hands. What he did after we both turned 18 is phenomenal! I didn’t continue my training and I started to focus on other things at that time. That’s why he’s a living legend and I’m just a single a father roughing his way through life

This was such an awesome video for me. Thank you!!!

Great Video.

Great stuff.

Thank you for the video, as a southpaw it was always hard being taught by coaches that were right-handed and just didn't understand that their idea of angles wasn't good for me. Pretty much had to teach myself, how to do normal techniques in a southpaw way.

I’m an Orthodox that switched to Southpaw and feel so much better in Southpaw now. Marvelous is my favorite boxer, using his leaping footwork and that stance switch turn are my favorite ways to catch people. Can’t wait to see the switch hitter video. Place I tend to get caught the most has been in the pocket with over hands, or jabs that are just timed better than mine. Still want to learn more about using my lead foot in the center instead taking the outside to land my rear hand so often.

I want a complete boxing footwork videos, structured like this one

Day 4 of asking for dmitry bivol breakdown

@ProfsChannel

7 күн бұрын

Bivol style is almost impossible to replicate in today's boxing. Today, when fighters are too greedy and would opt to train in order to KO their opponents as their first choice rather than train with defence responsibilities in mind. Biviol style looks good when we see the finished article. However, getting to that plateau requires an insane amount of hard work and an equally stellar amateur background. There's are no shortcuts to Bivols boxing style, and that is the bottom line.

@ProfsChannel

7 күн бұрын

Furthermore, you'd need to ask yourself if you could fight an entire boxing match whilst starving certain aspects of your traditional boxing repertoire? As in, could you create for yourself, or learn to box in a stance/style that doesn't demand the use of some of the favourite tools used by majority of your opponents and still be expected to come out on top?

@@ProfsChannel I see where you are coming from, but as a taller fighter, I am mainly looking for the thought process behind bivol's boxing. I understand that replicating his pendelum style and all punching techniques/timings is completely unrealistic. However, one reason I like bivol is the fact that he is basically untouched every fight without stellar head movement and unique guards. He is able to produce such solid defense with just the fundemental footwork+guard+headmovement. His offense is obviously not like Hearns or some other heavy punchers where their counter may deter a punch in the first place. I want a breakdown on how bivol uses his footwork and jab in situations to go basically untouched against a fighter like canelo.

Great vid! And was hoping you would feature teofimos fight with Loma on how to neutralize the matrix step. He used the cross guard, reverse cross guard, and punished the body on those matrix steps. It threw Loma off the whole first half of the fight

Inside angle is actually great to attack with jab..... but also great for counter left Boxers like Josh Taylor, Errol jr,Tank use this very well If someone taken deep inside angle and able to make the rival miss thier power hand short they can catch the rival off guard Slip cross or duck under upper cut can do great damage

Marvin looks absolutely terrifying in the avatar

that going into battle with no shield speech was the shiiiit

Thank you for the video iam a southpaw kickboxer i think i would do some of the tactics you talked about here in this video

All us wrestlers that transitioned to MMA got taught to fight South Paw. Thank you coach!

Great video. There's not enough video drill for southpaw, so thanks you a lot. You didn't speak about the pendulum technique, specially for Lomachenko. He is always doing it to look for new angles. Crawford is switching a lot between regular and southpaw, thats why he's got specials advantages on his opponents. A french southpaw boxer 🥊

Amazing.

Great video, I fought Orthodox and made a switch to southpaw. It's nice to flow back and forth.

pacquaios footwork is really something else, his signature footwork is his quick in and out style and i think is the main reason why he needs fast hands, he simply makes the opponents think that they are in a safe distance then in an instant he reaches you with 3 to 4 punches then darts out to look for a new angle, fast hands is crucial in mannys style darting inside to keep your opponents mind pre-occupied in defense then you dart out to a safe distance

I would watch anyway, as I always do, but my personal GOAT Hagler is in, I'm super duper watching this be-yatch. AND a Conan quote...let's goooooooooo

you a genius bro

I wish this was longer

As someone who normally leads southpaw, I appreciate the breakdown here. Gotta say I'm not very comfortable with taking the inside angle yet, but that'll change with time. And as a huge Star Trek nerd, I appreciate the inclusion of Anbo-Jyutsu (although I hate that spelling 😄)

inside foot postion is high risk high reward. its always safe to play the outside position game. but inside you will usually catch the other guy off but your also putting yourself right where they want you for the straight right

I'm fully ambidextrous I can write with both hands so I don't have a preferred fighting stance, it feels mostly the same either way, but my right hand did end up being my power hand by chance. I blame the coaches when I was four years old in baseball for making me bat and throw right handed but I guess if I had a problem I would have switched on my own 🤷‍♂

@xayebk

Ай бұрын

Understandable my power hand is my left but I throw, shoot the ball with my right and fight orthodox but I find myself using my lead hand the most so I want to switch to southpaw

Could you possibly cover closed stance footwork or strategies too? Maybe compare to Southpaw? When I'm fighting other Southpaws I feel a lil lost in terms of what angles I should go for or how defense changes the other way around.

I’m right handed but I switch to my left a lot. I’m a switch hitter and love me some southpaw videos

"what do you want to do better" So I'm a Southpaw who strengths lie more in my Judo than my striking. But I'm trying to capitalize on the advantage. I'd love to see a video that talks about southpaw striking to clinch entries or kinds of takes downs that have played well off of coming from left-handed fighters. Hell anything you want to do about us lefties. Incredibly appreciative of your work and mad respect for all the acknowledgment it's getting.

Lol. Love the Conan reference in the beginning 😂

People forget that southpaw tactics are the exact same as orthodox you just flip the side orientation...I wish more people embraced southpaw...I trained in a lot of arts but I credit TKD for making me so used to switching stance but I use JKD style to do it...but being able to fight in both and seamlessly transition always seemed to me like something all fighters should embrace...so many ways you can play with range to confuse your opponents when you switch stance mid combination

As a southpaw I get caught with the left hook do I use inside or outside position

I trained orthodox for years “I’m right handed” now I train south paw, I’m a stronger fighter. Before I would attack at angles of 45*, now it’s 180*. Now I can flow from right to left. Once I got the foot work to flow, the punishing power engaged. Study “switch step” Good luck .

As a southpaw, one of my favorite moves if my opponent was in a more bladed orthodox stance was basically a roundhouse left, and I'd either target the body or sweep it up into a shovel hook to the head. I call it roundhouse because I'd put all my weight into it, pivoting on my lead foot. That's probably incorrect terminology bc Idk shit BUT I do know that if I can slam my rear hand dead on into your solar plexus with my whole body weight behind it you'll drop.
