defense for a taller boxer

[slickwalt210]

keep ur hands up !!!

arms should be in tight and hands up.. a shorter fighter wants to get inside and come up the middle. you never go straight back from a punch, you either step to the right or left. you should really practise on your movement (left and right) also your jab will be the key, it will not only set up other punches but it will keep people off of you..the first thing people look for in a tall fighter is to go to his body, which makes him bend some and slow him down.

i sound egsactly the same as you,

im 6ft 3, havnt had a bout yet but been training 2 years and im close i think,

but its always me going farwuds agaisnt the better guys, forcing me to bob and weave but im not suited to that really,
only time i get to box with my height is wen im against worse guys than myself who come farwuds,

i soon learnt to fight bette ron the inside through sheer practice, on the bags especialy, i now tend to throw upercuts and hooks more often,

just practice being loose and light, and fast , practice on the bag throwing 1,2, left hook, really light and relaxed and fast, and you soon be using them hooks in sparring.


practcitce,practice and practice footwork,


keep ur left out a little and be very unpredictable as wen ur going to jab, throw it at arkwud times wen hes not expecting it,


look like ur gonna throw a jab, keep feinting it lots, move ur hand round a little like ur really ging to throw it, and then throw it to is body to confuse him or throw a right hand
