1.Hey, how important is it to be just a lefty or a righty in the ring? I mean, I am a righty but I want to train in both right and left. Is it a big waste of time or a big and good investment? Is there any good fighter both south pole and and Right?

2. This one is weird: My mom says that if you put ice in very hot water then drank it, it is not good for you. What is it?

I'm no pro...but in my experience:

1) You will always have a strong side; however, being able to fight switch is an advantage as it disrupts your opponents "flow". We train all our fighters this way...

Some trainers have watched our guys and stated they were surprised in the ability that these guys had to switch back and forth.

2) The only way I know to answer this is the following:
- Cold drinks are not the best to drink if you are training hard. While they are refreshing, it is like pouring cold water into a hot vessel. The body is hot and the water is cold, and causes unbalance. It is better to take warm or hot water whilst training. Thus you will not crack the vessel.

What the hell is that?

Ok, just go edit your post and disable the smilies. I want to see what you want to say.

1.) Train both leads, for the reason Iron said. Also, it will help you to figure out what the southpaw's game is more as compared to a righty's game.

2.) Ice in hot water just cools the hot water off a little bit, there isn't anything harmful about this.

That is weird what happened to the post.
I agree with both Iron and Ken,I am a Southpaw and have never had any problems with Orthodox fighters but I know they have had problems with me the main problem being moving the wrong way and throwing the wrong shot at the wrong time.
If you train both you can switch hit which is even more confusing to them.
Do what feel natural.
