Hey guys, I am new to boxing and I need some tips and strategies. I do possess natural hand speed and quickness, but the problem is i am also the shortest guy in the club by about a couple inches. That also means that I have the smallest reach, so I need some tips on how to fight taller and longer guys. Oh, I should also probably mention that I'm southpaw. Thanx.

try and get underneath your opponent. when they throw a jab you throw a hook to the boody.

get in their chest.

Learn to bob and weave to get on the inside.

Watch VERSATILE2K7's videos. :boxing:

mike tyson peek-a-boo defense. bob / weave/ slip and keep moving forward with hard shots. dont let them stay on the outside get inside and stay there and then work hard!

smoke some crack.
