    Fought a 300lb south paw giant yesterday (I'm 200!lb).

    Trainer said I won but it was obviously very hard work indeed. Sore today!

    Sparring again next week. Has anyone got any clips that show moving ideas of closing the distance?

    Its the first fight I've had where I've really had to *think*...!

    He was huge!

    It's all in the feet and that range finding jab. You don't want to close the distance so much you are smothering your own work. Put the jab out there to always know you have them where you want them. It's very difficult to be describing moves. I suggest someone shows you.

    It's all about footwork and movement.
