Left low kick is done in a similar way. In that case, the left leg is positioned behind. The boxer can land a kick on a right leg of the opponent regardless of the stance (right or left).
Middle roundhouse kicks.
2004-11-16. Moscow (RUS). “RAMTL in ‘Capitalism’ casino”. Wirochai Suhachen (THA) vs Marsel “Sailor” Adzhiniyazov (RUS).
While doing right body middle kick, the boxer transfers bodyweight to the left leg. After that, right shoulder, and then the hip are drawn forward, making circle movement to the right around vertical axis that goes through the left leg. At the same time, the shoulder goes ahead of the hip, and hip goes ahead of the thigh – which makes torso muscles, front part of the hip and front part of the thigh stretch.
Simultaneously, right leg elevates from the floor, left leg slightly pushes up on its ball, and the right hip starts the rotation from right to left along a circle trajectory. While moving to the target, the leg unbends at the knee. The kick is done with the lower part of the calf. In the end of the kick, the torso is turned to the opponent with its right side, right shoulder is drawn forward. Left leg is fully straightened, slightly pushed up on its ball and slightly turned to the left. Left palm covers the head from a counter-punch.

Important note. Almost in all the pictures illustrating the kick, left leg is bent. Not to get confused, you should remember that left leg should be fully straightened at the knee. Moreover, left leg move is rapid and strong – it pushes up on its ball, calf muscles are working – and it should not be weakened by the bent knee.
Left pam covers the head from a counter-punch. Palm defense can be easily broken though with a counter-punch. That is why the defense should be made with a forearm, or even better – with the elbow (covering nose and chin), because the opponent would not even try to punch the elbow.
