It's not fun. It sucks a great deal. Some people get the hang of it better than others, but generally speaking, it's a very awkward (and painful) learning curve.
- Swizec 16y agoLet me rephrase: it would be fun in a training environment, not in a competitive environment.
- bmelton 16y agoI meant that too. It's like having to learn how to fight entirely from scratch again.
- electromagnetic 16y agoA southpaw is more than twice as likely to win a fight (or at least 1/2 as likely to lose based on the stats), perhaps it would be better to learn to fight southpaw than learn to fight a southpaw. I was looking for the stats earlier, sorry I didn't post them. Here's the abstract on it: http://bjsportmed.com/content/43/2/142.abstract http://bjsportmed.com/content/43/2/142.abstract > Results: Left-handed boxers had been involved in 75–800 fights (mean 120.6), with 5–79 lost (mean 19.32). A similar evaluation was made for the right-handed boxers. The right-handed boxers had been involved in 50–820 fights (mean 127. 8), with 23–78 lost (mean 42.25). Left-handed boxers were found to be more successful than right-handed ones. The difference between them was found to be significant (p<0.01).
