  It has unique drawbacks as well. A southpaw boxer or kickboxer has their right side, and thus their liver (a critical weak spot in the torso) closer to the opponent. There are other strategies that work uniquely against southpaws, and high level fighters will not neglect to prepare for the adjustment. However, broadly speaking, against regular old sparring partners and in low to middle level competitions, the advantage you speak of does exist. >

  I’m a badminton player and while higher levels can adjust against lefties, they sometimes forget in the heat of a rally giving me that slight advantage.
  A slight hesitation or simply forgetting which hand is my dominant hand during a fast rally is enough in badminton.
