Swarmer help

[El Kabong]

If he's taller than you, use head movement and crisper punches. Keep your punches strictly point A to point B, don't loop them or load up on them (unless you have timed a counter).If he gets to you, use your shorter arms (I am assuming your arms are shorter) to fire off quick and well placed hooks and uppercuts, end with a jab to give yourself space or a hook to put yourself in a defensive position.

A well placed hook beats a hard hook any day of the week...I can tell you from experience because I have landed some BOMBS that did nothing and landed some weaker shots that really hurt my opponent. And hell work the body...it not only saps strength and willingness to come forward but it brings down the guard



The best thing to do with new boxers is figure out their pattern or rhythm in throwing punches, very seldom do fighters double up on a hand they'll usually throw left,right,left,right...well once you've figured out the pattern then just block and counter.

And if he keeps coming tie him up push him towards the ropes and give yourself some space to work with. Or allow him to back YOU against the ropes and then tie him up and turn his back to the ropes and give yourself space.
