    How to fight against someone much taller...

    hello,

    in my gym there's a guy who is 2.10 m tall, and I'm 1.79 m. He keep the stance at the level of the solar plexus, because nobody can reach its face... He has very very long arms thus he can effectively keep the opponent at a distance....

    Could you advice me a strategy?

          It all depends on how good of an inside fighter he is. Very few long guys are good on the indside with short punches so most would tell you to fight him on the inside. However, if he's good on the inside then you just have to use your quickness on him which you should have as the smaller boxer. If you have a good D then there shouldnt be much of a problem. I say get inside and take it to him if you can handle it. Beat him at the short punch inside game. I just read where you said that he's good at keep guys at a distance but I dont beleive that. Its all about hear and attitude. You can get inside if you really want to

            Jab your ass off. Once you're in range throw the jab, then do a combo then either get the hell out? Or stay in while he's still open to being hit.

              head movement..... alot of it.... ur best bet is to smother his punches.... his power is most likely at range..... you have to fight on the inside......winky wright will show you this on 4/11
