One of the most well-known stances is the southpaw boxing stance. This stance is most suitable for left-handed boxers. This style also makes them less susceptible to takedowns. This stance is often associated to Jake Gyllenhaal's character Billy Hope. Based on a real-life scenario, the movie title refers also to Billy Hope, a left handed boxer.
The southpaw boxing stance is an excellent choice for a southpaw. This allows a fighter's left hand to be in front of his opponent. This allows boxers to counter jabs and lead hooks without worrying about being hit with the right hand. The right hand is also a prime target in this position, so a southpaw should have a strong right hand guard. A southpaw boxing posture can be useful if you face an opponent who is not dominant in their right-handed style.

A southpaw boxer stance is also known as a orthodox boxing stance. The right hand is the leader in the ring and the right foot is the one leading the way. Southpaws can be prone to taking jabs from both of their hands. A right-handed fighter in boxing usually can carry his punches more far than a left-handed counterpart. He can throw a powerful right-handed jab while his left hand moves forward. This gives him more power in 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. This stance gives the southpaw an advantage in the fight by giving them a tactical and strategic advantage. This style allows fighters the opportunity to jab with their other hand and to throw powerful crossbows. The lead leg is placed in front at a 45-degree angle to its back leg. The sole of the lead leg should be planted firmly on ground.
While the southpaw stance may be more effective for left-handed boxesers, some professional fighters prefer to box right-handedly to protect their left hand. Traditionally, a left-handed fighter would be able to stand up against a Southpaw. However, some orthodox boxers have adopted the southpaw position. If you're unsure whether an orthodox stance is best for you, you can try fighting from the southpaw perspective.

Although the orthodox stance is most popular for boxers, it's not the best. A southpaw will have to spar with a right-handed opponent. This type of stance is more difficult to master than an orthodox stance, and it can be difficult for opponents to predict a southpaw's movements. It is important to know that the stance of a Southpaw can be different from the orthodox stance.
