Hi Trainer,

I have been training in MMA for a year. Because our coach's brother-in-law is a pro-boxing trainer, all the fighters at our dojo train in boxing too. I am 5ft7in tall, and new to boxing (trained for several months now). A problem I keep on having is when I spar with an opponent half a foot taller than me and has a longer reach. Coming inside works but I take at least 3 punches to come inside(I do put the earmuffs on). Staying outside just leaves me taking more punches. What is your suggestion to me in terms of sparring with taller boxers?

sincerely,
Eagle vs. Shark
