Stronger Left Handed but stand Right Handed

Hello how are you.
I just have a quick question.
I am right handed but when i was younger done everything with my left hand.
Now i dont fight south paw stance but i throw more of a power punch with my left hand compared to my right.
Now i was wondering is that a common thing among most right handed/footed people who fight or ?

Any help would be great cheers.

Which side is forward when you fight? If your right side is forward that is considered a southpaw stance. Since you're right handed though, you would be considered a "converted" southpaw a la Michael Moorer and Dana Rosenblatt.

Ya, right side forward is southpaw and left side forward is an orthodox stance. Throwing power punches with your left hand and your left side forward has no relevance to the name of the stance... it's still orthodox.

maybe ur left handed but right-legged... i always wondered if thats tough on a fighter that kicks as well as punches... do they stand ortho so their leg feels right or southpaw so their punches feel right lol...

There shouldn't be a problem. Just end all your punching combinations with a strong left hook and follow with your strong right kick.
