Offer him some Cheetos and when he says, "DUDE!" that's when you throw the hook.

Funions will work in a pinch, too. :D

Bend your knees a little more, spring yourself up while turning the hook, make sure you turn on the ball of your foot.

Obviously you will need to work your way inside.

Im 5-10 and fought a guy 6-3 with over a foot in reach advantage on me. I got to him by pounding a right into his ribs after slipping his jabs. It took abit to get his timing and rythme but once I did I came in hard with that right. And followed with hooks and such. Just gotta have the balls to press him and to get inside of his range.

Rockin' :boxing:

Go to the body to bring the target down to where it's reachable.....

Just watch when his head is coming down that he doesnt give you a gratuitous headbutt. Talk about ringin' your bell, that will leave an eco in your mind for a span of time.

I'm 5'9" and 173-175, which means I'm sparring Light Heavyweights and Heavyweights, most of whom -- in fact, all of whom -- are taller. I don't find it an issue. I have to get in closer, but that's where the action happens. My hooks are short, and my right (leading) hook is more of a shovel-hook -- half hook, half-uppercut.
