I'm pretty fit but it'd have to be a long pro fight or you'd have to be in with some one with weak arms and shit conditioning for it to be really affective with amatuer scoring
Excellent Adam . the residual effect of hitting your opponent on the shoulders and arms comes mid to late rounds, and in the amatures no time to get the desired effect, and thus you will lose on the cards. When you are the shorter fighter , you must be the busier fighter ,hands always need to be in motion and you've got to crowd or rush your taller opponent and learn to cut off the ring , stay on him like glue. conditioning is very important in boxing, but even more so for a shorter fighter, you got to work hard to stay on the taller rangier fighter, especially with quick breaks via referee interference which ( always favors the taller fighter ) . if you allow the taller guy to tie up, a break is coming quickly, you must be in great shape and must keep the hands in motion to keep the action at your desired range .
