A great choice for a Southpaw is the southpaw stance in boxing. It allows a fighter put his left hand in front his opponent's.

An orthodox boxing position is also known by the southpaw stance. The right foot and left foot lead the way in the boxing ring. A southpaw is more likely to use both his right and left hands for jabs. Boxing's right-hander tends to be more mobile than his left-handed opponent. Using the right hand, he is able to throw a powerful right-handed jab, while his left hand moves forward. This gives him greater power with his punches.

Left-handed fighters are allowed to use the southpaw style, but it is the left-handed who most often fight in this style.

The southpaw stance is better for left-handed boxers but some professional boxers prefer a right-handed position to protect their left. Traditionally, a right-handed boxer would face a southpaw. But some orthodox fighters prefer the southpaw stance. If you're unsure whether an orthodox stance is best for you, you can try fighting from the southpaw perspective.

The orthodox stance, which is the most commonly used by boxers in the ring, will not be suitable for a southpaw who must spar with a left-handed opponent.

It's important that you learn the differences between the different stances of the southpaw and his orthodox one.
