SRR is bound to cut you up if your a bit of a Novice... Its probably all the couter shots he's landing right?

Best option is to keep that guard up. Make your body the target (Okay it'll slow you down but at least you wont be as much a sitting duck with all that sweelling and blood).

Also (im assuming you do) ease right off they haymaker attempts, try limiting them down to 1 a round.

Focus on landing straights to the body (primarily as a point scorer, secondly as a distraction) then bring the uppercuts to the head.

Come back to me when you encounter problem number two
