In every olympic match I have seen so far there has been a southpaw involved.
Why the increase in lefties this year?
Lots of southpaws

I noticed that most of the olympic boxers where southpaws or switch hitters and thats what made such good bouts, alot of southpaws Vs southpaws. Even a SP finds in hard to box another SP coz there's not many of them.......well there never use to be anyway????
Southpaws are breeding!
Will this make life difficult for their opposition or will this be the end of their awkwardness as people will box them more an more often and most gyms will have one thus the experience of boxing one will slowly but surley seep into the average boxer.
Personaly I don't struggle with them, they don't half get caught with my big long right hand as they try to make an attack. Boom!

i thought that too, till i got in with a tuff southpaw from washington state
he was left handed, short, and threw wide and hard, i tried to mix it up with him in the first round but it made for too close of a fight,
finally i boxed him from the outside and made it a easier fight but before him,
i always said the same thing,
because i punished a few southpaws with my lead right,
my eyes would get big when i found a southpaw to fight or spar,
"but, "beware" when you say "you dont know whats so hard about fighting a southpaw" it will be the next fighter you fight that will change your opinion
