Over coming size difference

[greynotsoold]

Stay low and shade to your right. You'll stay away from his right hand-I'm assuming he is an orthodox boxer. By staying low, you'll hopefully get him jabbing down at you. This compromises his height and reach advantages and will give you an opportunity to slip outside his jab and shoot your right hand over the top. If you can get him throwing his right across his body, by being outside his left arm, you'll have him turning into your right hand.

This is done in kind of Dwight Qawi manner right Grey? I forgot some older fighters that used it. Marciano maybe?

Good news and bad news...

I tried this with the guy I'm sparring with and after the first round he was swearing at me to stand up :-) Works a treat as does the right hand over the top - throwing it as a looping punch I was catching him often.

The bad news is the guy I was supposed to be fighting has pulled out - could just be coincidence but he pulled out right after he watched the sparring session above. He's claiming a bad back - I think it's more a problem with his heart...

Bit of a pain to be honest because the venue - the ref the doctor everything was sorted - now I have to try and get a replacement opponent.

you've already won Shamrock! By sheer fear and intimidation.

All there is to do now, is find another opponent and go for the double win.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight... it's the size of the fight in the dog

Damn that's a big size difference.

Ok, assuming you're both orthodox, when you get on the inside, you can throw one or two punches, bob and weave to your right (so you're outside his lead arm) and in this position you can sneak in a left hook (which will come down the middle) either to the solar plexus or upstairs at an angle where it will difficult to guard against.
