    Switching stances?

    After watching the cotto judah fight last night,
    and seeing cotto change stances quite alot, so i decided to try it in sparing today. See naturally i'm a southpaw but when i switched to orthadox i found it alot easier, my jab was harder and connected more also i felt much more confident throwing combinations as they were coming of my hard left jab and hook. To add to this when my opponent come in i connected with several hard left hooks to the body which were quite good.
    I just wonder have any of you changed from your natural stance and found easier to fight or more effective.

      Same here, it flows so much easier when practicing combos then when sticking to a stance.

        i do it mostly when i aint doing too well, so i can land a few good jabs and get chance to recover or get prepared again, then i change back

          I think when i get under pressure and cover up i switch stances as i feel comfortable useing a hard left jab to get out of trouble and then go on the attack with it.

                  I'm left handed and used to spar southpaw but just spar orthodox now and feel stronger for it.
