lol, yeah i guess its better to show some mutual respect before the spar. But i have a feeling that since hes a World Champ (WORLD champ? godamn) that hes going to have a bit of pride and fight in him, people with credentials like that usually have an reputation and image to protect, so i dont think hes going to go light and fuzzy. Specially since you never met the guy before, im sure he wont hesitate to dish out an ass beating to a stranger. I might be wrong though.
Anyhow, try to pop off a couple jabs and dance around him, keep your guard up and be ready to react quick though. If he reacts spazzy like he wants to throw some leather, then you know what to do. You transform like a transformer and work his kick fightin ass.
If you need a fight plan well i thought one up, I dont know how he fights but you've mentioned HIS height advantage (which is what you're going to turn into YOUR advantage). And i've read that you're heavy handed and more of a pressure fighter if im correct? My advisment, Go to work solely on his body right off the bat, Constantly attacking it. Pop a jab, go to the body. Try to land a couple clean ones to the kidney, liver, solar plexus, the soft spots. Once you've got your body work established, and got it into his head that you're willing and ABLE to rip his body up. Then the field is set for you man.
Once you notice that he starts to bring his guard down a lil lower and hes wary of the body punches, then thats the time to feint low and KO him up top in a dramatic fashion with a leaping left hook..okay, so it might not turn out so dramatic, but you catch my point right.. You gotta make those shots to the head really count and throw them without hesitation RIGHT after you feint to his body with the timing of a one-two combo. Not.. one.. two.. more like onetwo. body!head!. And because you've got heavy hands and you know hes not expecting it and that adds to the shock factor tenfold. And if it all goes according to plan, you're really gonna rock him with that body feint + left hook/straight right to the head and i'd say you have a good chance of pummeling this guy on the ropes while hes covered up trying to recover from that unexpected head shot.
Update on how the spar goes, and if you happen to employ the gameplan above, lemme me know if it was effective or not. But however it goes, hope you show em what a Boxers hands are capable of, put the fear into him for all of us pugilists here at Saddo man
