How to get inside when fighting against a taller boxer

How the shorter boxer can get into close distance when fighting a taller opponent.

Frolov is a brilliant trainer. One understands now, what boxing is about: footwork, angles, balance. And thanks by the way to the translator!!

“From Russia with glove” I love it! Thanks for the video! It reminds me of what Jack Dempsey wrote about the falling step.

Finally i can understand the words of coach Frolov

[shinzjl]

my coach never goes through stuff like this in detail. i wish i had coaches like you here

I find myself watching these and rooting for the kid(s) to finally have that 'ah hah' moment and perform the technique just right. Great coaching. Thanks for the English dub.

Very insightful, very few coaches advocate switching stance to broach a tall fighter's defenses but Dr. Frolov is spot on.

This is one of the best boxing videos Ive watched in a long time. Really well explained and looks like a really effective technique. Cant wait to watch more - thank you for this!

[DareBizarre]

The difference between the relaxedness of the coach and stiffness of the apprentice is amazing hah.

This is why russian boxers are so good. They have to be so respectful to the coaches and have to do everything perfectly.

If you watch a russian amateur boxer, he/she doesn’t do so unirthodox and flashy movements. Theyre doing basic movements, but these movements are almost perfect!

Good video:)

The way this guy moves is like the embodiment of 'drunken boxing' kung fu style...he slinks around, looking slightly off balance, slow, and harmless, then instantaneously straightens up and strikes like a cobra!

Excellent idea,
Old time instructors taught us the difference: when attacking legs and hands ar first and then follows the body, when defending the body is first and legs and hand only follow. The sidestepavoiding the direct is a defensive movement! It is that moment when concentration is to be changed on the body, which is dropped sideways and the leg movement follows. And then, again counterattack from a angle can follow, with legs and hands moving first and body is adding more weight to the punch. Many thanks. Paul, retired instructor of sports Karate, 66

These videos are great. Shows why the likes of oleksander usyk and loma are way ahead of the others technically. Masters of feints and setting traps!

The instructor emphasizes the need for the shorter boxer to use bodywork to close the distance against a taller, long-handed opponent.
He demonstrates a technique where the shorter boxer blocks punches with their gloves twice before sharply slipping to the side to initiate an attack.
The importance of accelerating and committing to the movement without hesitation is highlighted.
The instructor explains that the shorter boxer should not wait for the taller opponent's punches but should instead be aggressive and proactive in their approach.
He warns that the most dangerous opponent for a shorter boxer is one who tries to catch them on the counter movement, using their height advantage.
Proper footwork is emphasized, with a focus on pushing off the back foot and falling diagonally to maintain balance and effectively close the distance.
The instructor stresses the importance of not pausing or freezing midway through the movement, as it gives the opponent an opportunity to counter.
The shorter boxer is encouraged to maintain a wide stance, keep their head straight, and focus on countercorkscrew movements to generate power in their punches.
Finally, the instructor advises against stepping forward deliberately but rather falling with the body, allowing the foot to naturally follow.
