Having short reach

[Suckmedry]

When being shorter should one rely on its hooks and uppercuts more then the jab and cross? And should i just avoid trying to headhunt a taller guy and just go to the body instead none stop?

Not always. They become more important, but I find my jab can still be effective on tall guys, when I counter with it (ie catch their jab and throw mine back), and sort of drive it up from the ground with power behind it.


No. Go to the body, but finish upstairs as well. You won't score many point going exclusively to the body.

hardly any fighters ever "catch" jabs

i think it's only counter-punchers like Floyd and the Marquez bros. that catch punches

well it may b more a rare form these days kinda like body shots...but know my coach uses the catch and i use the catch..i'm jus an amateur tho so i dont really count lol..my coach tho is Reiddawg and he uses it

Yeah but also alot of pros tend to do other ****** **** like fight with their hands down, and get away with it. If you don't fight with a tight guard you can't catch a jab properly anyway.

I catch jabs and I'm a short ass guy, it works great as a way of getting inside and causing some liver damage
