1. Manage your distance better. Your front leg is your range marker, you need to appreciate where you are and where you can get hit.
2. Always keep your eyes on your opponent. The punch that knocks you the fuck out is usually the one you don't see.
3. Slipping left and right should be natural and a regular part of your training. Same thing for ducking via bending your legs.
You have to understand that it doesn't take much movement to avoid a blow, so learn how to make those subtle movements and you'll get hit a lot less.

Trick:
Against a southpaw, when he throws a jab. You knock it down with your left, (a quick small movement like a cat), take a quick step to the left and punch him with the same left jab to the head.
You can to this repeateadly and unless they're really gud they won't figure this out.

Other trick:
The southpaw game is all about throwing a lot more right straights. Increase your volume of right straights and any time they open up by moving their lead foot to the outside, send one right down the pipe.

don't walk into it uncovered, keep your dukes up. then corner him, or slip his straight punches.\ upright stance is sitting duck for other opponent. try to corner him and give him a few power hooks to shake up his rythym and comfort zone. ]
first few bouts are tough & the beating is a lesson to train harder
