Actually, lead uppercuts and hooks roll really easily off a straight/overhand lead. Every southpaw learns quickly how to land a straight - hook - straight combo after a few months training.
You really shouldn't rely on your opponent overbalancing themselves forward on the straight.
The first 3 punch combo everyone learns is the 1-2-3. Everyone throws learns to throw a hook after a rear straight.
I think you're missing my point because I wasn't talking about overbalancing, I'm talking about your position relative to their lead hand after you slip outside their lead side. If you slip with good position you should be just forward outside of their lead shoulder so they aren't going to be able to hit you with anything decent off that lead hand. If they start to read you of course then you could be in trouble when they adjust so that they can properly clock you.
