short fighters

[Yuzo]

charley goldman said that if you're short make yourself shorter. basically, he is saying stay low and come up to punch. short fighters that stay low force the taller fighter to punch down, thereby turning the taller fighters arms into a slope and creating a clear path to come over the top of their punches.



if the taller fighter tries to wrap you up and lean his weight on you, you can take your glove and push his head up, not punch, literally push his head up, stand him straight up like a stick, turn his torso into a bigger target and rip him underneath.



those are a couple of the things that you can do as the short fighter, and as for the rest, like with all fighters, no matter what kind they are, you will have to learn to box the honest way, not just look for gimmicks and shortcuts, but truly learn to box.
