Southpaw or orthodox?

I haven't been in a fight since I was a kid but if you boxed what would be your stance? Im right handed but natural stance is southpaw, orthodox just feels weird.

@Trev33

If you do find yourself in a forthcoming fight (against a certain red squirrel) put us down for a tenner.

On the squirrel!

If I knew what this all meant I would vote.

I'm all messed up, and don't really know what I am.

I write right-handed.
When playing cards I hold my cards in my right hand.
I throw things left-handed.
I play a guitar left-handed.
If I play tennis or ping-pong I hold the racket or paddle in my left hand.
If I play baseball, when batting I would face the home plate and the pitcher would be to my left side. (I believe that is considered to be a right-handed batter.)
If I golf, my left side would face the direction in which I want to hit the ball.
I would bowl left-handed.
I would also box left-handed.
I wear a wristwatch on the right wrist sometimes, and other times on the left.
I use hand tools (pliers, hammer, screwdrivers, etc.) in my left hand.
I use my left hand to hold a fork or spoon when eating, but if I am cutting something I hold the knife in my left hand and the fork in my right hand.
When playing OTB chess I move pieces with either hand.

By now you are probably as confused as I am!
Is there such a thing as being semi-ambidextrous? Maybe that's what I am.
OK, I looked it up. I am probably considered Cross-dominant, also known as mixed-handedness, hand confusion, or mixed dominance,
Or I am just simply FUBAR. 🙂 You need to add FUBAR to your list.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

I'm ambisinistrous (equally clumsy with either hand).

With which hand do you hold your book when reading?

A pal of mine lives hand to mouth but fortunately he's ambidextrous.

Left. The right hand is for turning pages.

The natural thing to do, I think.

I almost expected a joke like 'As ambisinistrous, I drop it.' You are joking when you say 'ambisinistrous', I guess?

No joke, and I do drop a heavy book every now and then.

I am a bit clumsy too, especially when I try to fix small things. Being impatient doesn't help.

I'm bipedal

I leave the small things for younger people.

@Trev33

I'm kind of like you.
I'm right handed but I stand southpaw and jab with my right and hook with my left but if we get in close I'll stand proper orthodox and use my right for hooks and body shots.
I only took boxing lessons for 18 months long ago and I thought I was going to be big and famous when my coach gave me the fancy name of "idiota" which sounded Italian and it took some time for me to figure out what that meant 🤔
