I'm one of the smaller guys in my gym at the moment and I'm not that small - sitting around middleweight.
However, I was sparring a taller guy who was about 10kg heavier than me the other day and I got hit a lot. I've only just started sparring for my first corporate (white collar) boxing match.
My corner told me to time his right hand, step to the right and counter with my right hand and I made this work half a dozen or so times. However, later in the rounds I would tire out and my footwork got sloppy.
Most of the guys I'm going to be sparring during training are bigger and taller so I was just wondering if you guys had any strategies for fighting bigger, taller opponents. Especially ways that are going to conserve energy, because my lungs were screaming after three rounds.
I know this question has probably been asked numerous times before, but I would really appreciate any advice. If you want to link to previous threads, that would be great.
Thanks.
