What advantages and disadvantages are associated with adopting a left-handed boxing stance in the ring?

Adopting a left-handed boxing stance, also known as a southpaw stance, can provide advantages such as surprising opponents, having a different angle of attack, and potentially confusing right-handed opponents. However, disadvantages may include facing challenges in finding suitable sparring partners, being more vulnerable to certain types of punches, and needing to adjust to facing predominantly right-handed opponents.
