OK so The Guy I'm fighting is 6'3 180.

Keep moving. There's some great advice here to be honest but the best thing you can do is to NOT stand in front of him. Keep on moving side to side, mix it up, throw combinations on the move and don't let him get set. Move your head as well and if he likes to lay on the ropes then get very close to him and hit him with short right hooks as well as with the left. If all else fails then accidentally twat him in the stones. Ooops.

So keep the jab and lots of movement is what everyone is saying. definitely throw some body shots in there and stay off the ropes... I'm gonna win because i refuse to lose my first televised fight ever.. ... for some reason ali's style is looking so good to me... I just feel like I can do it that way.. I know no ones gonna agree with that because Ali was and is Ali and is the only Ali... plus I have less reach...

Good luck mate

Double your jab.

I've been told by my trainer that he has K.O. power. He has 16 fights. I'm usually able to use my jab ... I'm ruling that out. My trainer says it should be a Good night for me if I just be myself and not to think about his reach-ko's and the look of his body. What plan do you think I should come in the ring with next week? *(sorry if someone gets mad that i posted here.. I just wanted to get as many responses as I could)* I got my height checked and I'm just like a ceni under 6 foot. Your a big guy,my plan would be,which i think could work,double jab to the chest,use alot of feints and come in with right uppercuts,u wont miss them,land the uppercut,hold him on the inside,and rough him up by hitting the body,slow him down,but u wont get to his head with the jab alot,i do think youd have alot of success jabbing the chest

When the going gets tough, crack'em low. Just don't let the ref see it.

Stay mobile ala Quintana vs P Williams.. Keep moving and use your jab.. And from what I can remember, you have good hooks.. Use your straight right hand man, esp to counter.. Its fast and hard to block.. Whats this guys defense like? Winky type? If so, you have to hit that body man.. I hope were not confusing you either.. go to the head, then body, keep switching.. good luck man and always keep ur hands up!

Even if you have a reach disadvantage, don't abandon your jab. Shorter guys like Lacy and Hatton fall into their trap and they become crude and predictable when they do that. Double up on it and pop it with bad intentions when you're moving in. Try a left hook to the body and then bring it upstairs, vintage Evander style. Sounds exciting, good luck!

Just hope he aint a member on here He'd have your game plans sussed...

Also, good luck.

What plan do you think I should come in the ring with next week? *(sorry if someone gets mad that i posted here.. I just wanted to get as many responses as I could)* I got my height checked and I'm just like a ceni under 6 foot. You're obviously shorter than him so use it as an advantage. Stay low and make him reach for you and give up his height. Staying low, your body is already compacted. He will be leaning in and giving you loads of target. And I wouldn't say to give up your jab, I'd just say use it different. When he uses his jab, pick it off with your right and jab him to the body and head. Make him bend in, drop his hands a little. Keep the pressure on him, cut the ring off and move him around the ring. Work your way to the inside and make his height a detriment.

Well he waits on the ropes sometimes im told... he hits hard im told.. and I see that he def has a longer reach... Not very active but the power may make up for that im guessing.. he has more experience having 16 fights.. *(my trainer matched us and I trust him)* he loves the 1-2-3 he uses it alot. and seems to have a decent chin. I'm faster than him in handspeed and foot movement. He sorta just comes forward and throws his combos. Stamina is very questionable. well from these informations i would say try to dictate the pace with your jab, but keep watching him and be ready to counter him with a left hook if he tries to jump in from the outside. keep moving with your feet, dont be stationary and jab him to the body as well, so he will tire up and be confused. even if youre shorter, if hes not too fast a strong jab to the body is very effective after a feint. Dont try straight rights than after a few rounds. But try to get his respect with some good 12s so he will think twice before stepping in... he knows hes got power so maybe hell try to ruff you up early, so be careful. If he invites you on the ropes, id suggest hit him and then go away moving back and to the side not to get countered. But dont stay there too much cause you might do his fight If this is at least a six rounder you might try to tire him up and then unload on him late, while you pile up points in the process. But most of all listen to your coach he surely knows you and him better than us! Good luck and keep us posted!

good luck m8t, hope u win. Your trainer must think you have adecent shot of winning or he wouldnt put u in there. As said before use your jab alot, keep him thinking and dont let him get into a rythem with the 1-2-3. When he comes forward keep flicking the jab, this will discourage him form steaming in and give you some time to set up your next shot or move out the way. :boxing::boxing::boxing:

Yea his arms are def longer than mine... he was like scratching his knees and ish. without bending his knees or torso. Never forget about your jab. I don't care if his arms are 3 miles long. Even if you aren't touching him with the jab, it gives him something to think about while you close range.

is this a pro or am fight?

how many round this will go? Difficult to give advice if we dont know your styles and abilities tho...is he a good boxer or hes a slugger?

Are you a good inside fighter? Neutralize his height and reach advantage by swarming him if you can. Well For him I should be goo.. faster guys are usually able to hit me with uppercuts every now and then not alot though. But his arms are long so i dont see that happening on the inside. He has a killer uppercut from outside though.. saw him k.o. a guy in the one fight i saw.

Depends on what kind of fighter you are. YOu can't tell Mike Tyson to fight like James Toney, both 5'10 tall. If you have a good jab, then keep your hands up like a shell defense and keep popping that jab. Maybe good thins will come from it and set you up for better shots.

Yea his arms are def longer than mine... he was like scratching his knees and ish. without bending his knees or torso. i suggest you watch some tyson and mayweather tapes - good example of fighting a taller fighter
