The problem with boxing is...

Ok, I'm looking at the pic Anthony posted.... unless he got punched with a glove that bleached his eyebrow grey, I don't see any damage.

Ahhh, thank you!

My left eye on top is swollen, you can actually see the fold us chinks have to get that hooded eye thing. :)

Some people will be better at fighting from both sides than others. It depends on your own dexterity and the quality of your training. Although, if it is encouraged from day one ( as it has been in my case) you become adept at it fairly quickly.

I'm training btw, both leads.

Whaaaat? Enteny has only just started, you mean switching to strong-side forward? It takes months/years to develop knockout power with your weak side back, not to mention leaves your lead leg as a prime target.

In general I think switching leads is kind of silly, but in his case where he's obviously not much of a striker at this point, picking up the right lead seems reasonable.

I like to switch leads whenever my opponent's feet are parallel with mine. I switch just as he's throwing punches, and let them harmlessly hit me in the back of the head and body, where he will receive no points.
