How to get inside?

That's me. I'm 5'6 and he was 6'0. You gotta jab, do smart counter punching and when you're in??? Go crazy like you're trying to break out.

I'd do drills focusing on cutting off the ring, as opposed to following an opponent around; maybe get a partner to try and escape while you find ways to trap him. From there, the rest of the advice on here seems good. Jab your way in, learn how to get into the range you want, and then keep a tight guard while moving your head as you step inside. It helps to practice pushing your opponent and finding ways to smother their punches while trapping them and throwing combinations of your own to the head and body; in-fighting drills are great for this.
