One of the coaches at my gym is trying to force me to box orthodox cuz I’m right handed, but honestly I feel more comfortable fighting southpaw
He keep sayin if I throw a football with my right then I need to have left leg forward, I extremely disagree tho
What should I do?
How good is your left hand..if you can't punch sharp (with snap) with your left hand being in the southpaw position than its too early for you to convert and you should just stick to conventional until you increase your left hand strength thru jabs and hooks practice.
Can you throw a football with your left? Can you play bball and crossover to your left and drive and layup left?
Can you eat, write, brush your teeth with your left hand?
if you can't do any of the above on some regular shyt, then your left prolly not developed enough to be the power back hand it needs to be. You don't wanna be one of those right hook dominant southpaws that can't punch with their left.
I say this as someone who switch hits and changes from lefty to righty all the time and can do all the above shyt with no problem.
