Lara sort of used it against Canelo. Well not so much of a roll, but he had his right shoulder more forward than usual.

No announcement yet.
Are there any Southpaws that use the shoulder roll?

zab Judah, pernell whitaker, Dirrell is a switch hitter but rolls punches very well as does Terrance Crawford

You can't really roll the straight right with your lead shoulder as a southpaw.
I mean in the defensive stance itself, you'll have your chin tucked and you're shielded from the lead left of your opponent. The actual shoulder roll itself may be used, but sparingly when the punching angles allow it to be effective. Which would probably be during some sort of exchange where punches are thrown off a pivot.

(Lucian Bute tried to use the shoulder roll -- with a poor outcome, as it showed...)

Toney is really the only orthodox guy i can think of who uses it effectively against lefties. Jirov, R.Johnson, second half of the Nunn fight.
