Do you got any questions on Fighting Taller opponents? Comment down below!!

[DOOR.DASH.TYRONE]

Best punches to master for shorter fighters is the overhand right and leaping hook, also shorter fighters should not abandon the jab even if you are just jabbing your opponents glove you need to do something and stay active. Double jabbing while moving forward also works well.

I’m a very tall person (6’6”/198cm) and the overhand gets me almost every time. Even from very smaller fighters. Just my experience.

Rocky Marciano 5'10 (undefeated heavyweight great), Mike Tyson 5'10 (a killer in his prime). The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I'm only 5"7 and definitely need all the tips I can get, so thanks for posting this video 👍

I use to love sparring and fighting tall boxers . I had a strong jaw and neck muscles. (Thanks to American Football) So I would sacrifice taking the first punch and smother my opponent with hooks and uppercuts. Thanks for another great video Tony. ✝️🇺🇸🥊 Coach Mando from the Alamo City.

I’m only like 4.11 but these tips actually helped out a lot thanks Tony ✊🏻

[bashiri]

Thank you for the confirmation. I’ve been struggling with tall guys for quite some time now and this helps!

[jamesnix]

Great content...practical take away for practice. Thank you!

[Andrew-mycp]

Been recording all my spars and it's amazing to see the things I try during sparring, get described in this video. The counter fighter who is taller than me fell for a feint and subsequent overhand right, exactly how you explained it. The other guy my height backs up under pressure and low and behold the 1-2-1 landed perfectly on him and closed the distance. Really awesome to see what you're talking about reflect what I've been seeing.

[jordanryan]

U can always do what Tyson used to do against taller opponents, he used to step in and with every step he used to Bob and weave so he could close the distance without getting hit by the other guy that was trying to hit him

[babycheesus]

love the short videos and concise advice. So many ppl on youtube waffling for 20 minutes, repeating the same things.

[rensgraper]

Great video as always. Mostly I try to slip inside with the jab, I really like that last one with the angle change. Gonna practice that one in my shadowboxing and on the heavy bag.

[sangkim]

Thank you for posting. I don't box, I do karate but it's still helpful to me, especially 1 2 1 combo.

Thank you Tony Jeffries for this awesome 😎 🔥🥇 video. Since I’m a southpaw boxer, I study and apply the tactics of Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, and Vasyl Lomachenko. God bless you always and this is the best video on YouTube that applies to us shorter boxers. 😎🔥🥇
