Haha that's funny because I'm left handed and they made me box right handed stance. it was strange at first but ended up catching many people off guard. My left hook got nicknamed the "sidewinder". Haha
Yeah it's weird, most coaches I know insist everyone fight orthodox whether they're left or right handed. A good bro if mine (who paid the ultimate price in afghanistan may he rest in peace) was left handed, and no one could touch him when he went southpaw but this one coach made him spar orthodox! Insane!
