McGirt vs Tommy Ayers

You are fighting a guy that is 38-2 (32 KOs) and he is 4 inches taller than you are and has a 6 inch reach advantage. How do you make distance work to you advantage? Land the more effective jabs, and go home early?

That was entertaining!. Buddy went on to take Simon Brown. Ayers had the sob story of being in jail.
