    yea my first sparring seesion i got jabbed the hell out of by a more taller, experienced, faster guy

    what i learned is to double and triple your jabs while moving in. also move your head from side to side while moving in and never move in in a straight line, step left and right

      making yourself hard to hit really frustrates a lot of bigger people. we have had threads on this before. so it may be a good idea to check through older posts.

        A previous post explains it well, watch a few Winky fights. Obv not Winky v Hopkins but Winky v Mosley 1 is great viewing. Also James Toney fights will help cause he is great defensively! Tall fighters don't like fighting in close range and remember to tie up his hands to frustrate em. This may not sound great i have never seen Valuev v Chagaev (And probably don't wana) but it would be good to see how Chagaev beats the giant ape. Last but not least body shots (kidneys, heart). Best of luck champ!

          move ya head up down side to side etc.... keep your hands high, and parry his jab alot, then conter under or over the top immediately with a flurry, if he backs up , stay close to his chest and press him back with flurries, if you miss or he just absorbs it use your lighter feet to get out quickly. stay busy alos, nothing makes a big guy look better than a smaller fighter doing nothing.....good luck man
