Is It Better To Fight Southpaw Or Orthodox. In short southpaws tend to be better boxers than orthodox ones because southpaws have more experience fighting orthodox fighters than orthodox do fighting southpaws. Very few boxers have fought against someone like you.
To have an orthodox stance means to stand with your left foot in the front and right foot in the back. Conventional wisdom today is that against a southpaw you should always be moving to your left towards their jabbing hand and away from their left. That is conventional wisdom but in practise will make your footwork predictable.
Yes a southpaw fighter will probably be prepared to fight against another southpaw.
If you are in an orthodox position but are left handed meaning your left hand is stronger your opponents will be surprised that your lead left hand actually carries more power than the right. Conventional wisdom today is that against a southpaw you should always be moving to your left towards their jabbing hand and away from their left. To have an orthodox stance means to stand with your left foot in the front and right foot in the back. In general you would always have your strongest hand in the back.
