    I think that is your wingspan ,lately they have been saying armpit to the tip of your closed fist or something I do believe but could be wrong.

          That's HBO's new way of measuring. Everyone else pretty much goes by the middlefinger to middlefinger measurement.

            Nice man. Klitchko only has a reach of 71"! Not really as big as he seems eh? You could go in there right now with him and be effective with the jab.

                Doesnt Klitchko have a 78" reach?

                I could swear this is what it was, perhaps even an 80". One thing is for sure, I know his reach is not the same as Mike Tyson's (71")

                    Middle finger to middle finger while the arms are held up. Thats how they did it for my fights. Generally your reach should be very close to your actuall height.
