Boxed a Tall Guy lastnight (video)

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that you did a really good job, even if you don't have a lot of experience.

5.8 vs 6.4 is really complicated, and you did not look that bad.

You sure he is 6'4? He doesnt look like it.

You need to get lower. You're already short, so get lower. Make him have to reach even further, extending his arms. Gives you more of a chance to counter, and takes away power from his shots. He, like most fighters, hates being against the ropes, as I saw in the second link. So, pin him against the ropes.. If you have to, keep a forearm up to block shots, and attack the body. If you have to take a shot or two to get on the inside, don't worry about it. You'll be lower, so his shots'll have less affect anyway.

As far as countering.. He loves to double up his left jab, and then hit you with punch three, which is a (kinda) straight right hand. What you need to do is time it. Step back once he throws the jab, Back up a step and when he's on his third punch, (the right) duck under and attack the body. If you can, come up top with another shot. All I could see from those two videos.
