    Well it's really hard.

    Boxing a southpaw is like another sport.

    A taller guy as well,not everybody can fight like Tyson or Frazier.

    Well,"only" 2 inches,the guy is taller,but not so much.

    I used to have problems with southpaws.
    I was more a boxer than a brawler.
    So,I tried to box,and if the southpaw was outboxing me,then I was coming forward,brawling with a high guard.
    So,first,if you can outbox the guy,do that.

    VERY IMPORTANT,move lateraly on your left,on the right you are going to eat left hands.

    A good combo,step in,a lil bit on the left,right hand,then left hook to the head,then go to the body if it's open.

    Sorry,I dont speak very well english,so I can tell you well.
    Hope you understood me.

    The jab doesn't work well against lefties.
