http://www.myboxingcoach.com - If you are a half-way experienced orthodox boxer, you will be very used to employing the boxing techniques of blocking and parrying incoming shots with your right hand or your "back hand." The reason for your familiarity is simple really, based upon the laws of average and statistical probability, you are far more acquainted with an incoming orthodox jab than any other punch, and the natural defence against this shot is is a back hand block or parry. Now I'm not a gambling man, but I would wager that using your lead hand boxing defensive techniques is not nearly as comfortable an experience as using the back hand defences. So, it has to qualify as a weak point that requires a simple and reliable solution, because when you meet a decent southpaw or an orthodox fighter who's gone 'right hand crazy', an effective lead hand parry is often one of the boxing techniques that is the difference between victory and defeat!
