[..WaRSpencE..]

Jesus! 165? I'm as tall as you and fight at 114 xD

That's what I thought, our MW is also 6'3..lol

for 5'6 the average is 125lbs which is FW.

BG you're at 114?! DAMN..lol..we also got a kid who's 18 boxing at 119, I thought all his fights would be walk by's but apparently there's more of you guys out here..haha!

Ha, well, I'm 123 right now, but I could certainly make 114 again. Yeah, you'd be surprised, around here in the mid-west region, it seems everyone at 114 is about my size. I've rarely had fights where I physically had the advantage. But isn't that the beauty of boxing? There's a place for everyone of all sizes and physical capabilities.

Unfortunately no. Never really got the chance to either. I'm shipping off to my training for the Army within the next 6 months and won't be back for a year and a half. But hopefully while I'm gone some of the kids from my gym will make it to the nationals, there is a lot of talent here surprisingly. Apparently my coach was offered a position as one of the coaches for the 2012 Olympics, so I expect him to push them all harder.

Ah, good luck in the Military bro, big decision you made there. and good luck to your boxing club, hopefully they do well also.

First of all props for fighting someone so much taller than you, a 5'6 guy wouldn't even fight me (I'm only 5'11) because he said I was too tall and he backed out.


I aven't read any other response so this might've been said a 100 times but for me, the main thing to learn from that fight was you didn't adjust at all, you were fighting him and going for headshots like you were both the same height, it was a waste of time and energy.

You should've really dug to the body.. 1) He was a lanky, skinny **** and would've really felt it 2) He was wide open for bodyshots and 3) You work the body to soften him up and when he adjusts and lowers his body to protect from those shots, then you go to the head.

Your right hand really ****** at times, it was basically a slap at times. Crisp, sharp punches are the ones that hurt, not the slaps.

You're still learning though and the only way to get better is to actually fight and get in there.

Lastly, did I hear some chick in the background say the Lock Haven guy was cute or was it just me? No ****.

[Ido]

lol.

I'm Puerto Rican. This was at 165.

Props for getting in the ring to fight at @165 considering your height. You should look into going down at 20 IBS. To many tall ppl can make that weight.

As for tips, relentless pressure, and rolling with punches. Strait up maul him, anything you have to do get to his body. It’s a tough fight for you, since there is a very big gap in reach, and size.

Well props for agreeing to fight someone that tall.

First off, if you ever face someone with a clear reach advantage, don't get into a jab fest. Like someone said before me, tuck your chin and then put both hands up, bob and weave and then ram the body. I know it doesn't score much in amateur boxing but one good punch to the body can suck away stamina instantly and you can build from there.

This is very good advice.

I should of thought of this.
