How to Box - A Southpaw's Slick Defence - The Lead Outside Parry

http://www.myboxingcoach.com - A Boxing How To Guide - For all you southpaws out there, this is a slick little defence that will add a deadly variety to your work when commanding the ring against an orthodox. You can open up a world of counter punching opportunity by prising open the defence and 'unleashing hell' in the form of deadly power shot attacks! If you want to get really flash, you can parry and strike with the same hand...this is for the 'pugilistic professors' out there, Floyd Mayweather eat your heart out! The reason that I'm emphasising the benefits of this defence is that quite simply you can force an orthodox jab off to your left and what you are left with is an incredible field of opportunity right through the centre of a gaping defence! Sheer bliss!!!!

Now, before all of you orthodox fighters start to feel neglected, don't! This defence will not only assist in overcoming those 'right hand crazy' orthodox opponents that you may sometimes meet, but if you want to truly understand how to box against a top performing southpaw, you'll absolutely need to have the full complement of lead hand defences including the lead hand block and the lead hand inside parry. Why is this? Because a good southpaw will constantly launch attacks down your left hand channel (often in the form of multiple southpaw jabs), so if you have no idea how to defend effectively and provide yourself the platform to launch damaging counter attacks, then you might as well forget victory! Additionally, you can bet your last penny that a southpaw will have these defences off to a tee!

Enjoy the video and understand the best way how to box for success against all kinds of opponents!

im a southpaw and need to improve my right hook, and tips?

[myboxingcoach]

@marinejackson Check out the videos on the 3 types of left hook (short range, mid range and long range). The mechanics are the same for both southpaw and orthodox, just in reverse. Hope they are of use.

Oh, come on...dont show the southpaws how to fight. That's illigal in some states :D

[myboxingcoach]

@immortaliserwow Fantastic comment, you're welcome back any time!

[immortaliserwow]

@myboxingcoach it was a joke...because u know, most of us r with left hand guard and..well fighting a southpaw is pain in the ass. Hope u didnt find it rude. I wouldnt like to insult my current coach :P

[myboxingcoach]

@immortaliserwow No, not rude at all. I've always loved that thing of southpaw v orthodox, it's great fun how us orthodox boxers have that grudging respect for how a real good southpaw works, and show that respect with comedy put downs. One of the joys of boxing! :o) Other thing though, this parry is as important for an orthodox to learn as for a southpaw...for when we meet that 'real good' southpaw!

@connect121 Hey mate. No problem, all comments welcome. I agree on the 45 degrees on the front foot, but I believe there's some flexibility on the back (not that I'm disagreeing.) Check out footage of Cuban Mario Kindelan (one of the best amateurs ever), a lot of the time his back foot is at 45 degrees AWAY from the target, actually pointing backwards! So, there's room for some variety! Thanks for the comment.

@myboxingcoach I guess u r right, tnx for the good job and all those well explained tips and tricks ;) Thumbs up

[Jasshcsm]
